The delivery of the center section was delayed, but not significantly. The FedEx driver who dropped off the forks said the center section was too heavy for a van delivery, but it arrived in a van 2 days after the forks. The delivery driver really struggled to get it out of the van though. The center section paint was beaten up from shipping and part of the logo had been scraped off during shipping, but the attachment looked heavily built enough that no serious damage had occurred. My biggest complaint is with the sliding of the forks. It appears that the upper plate, which holds the forks, was welded on out of square, with the bottom (of the top plate) sticking out further than the top. Because of this, the forks bind as you try to slide them left and right on the center section and the forks don't seem to fully seat on the top plate. It can be made to slide with a significant effort (kicking & cursing), but the forks have already scraped away paint in a few areas. I held a straight edge against the bottom and top plates to ensure it wasn't the fork. You can see a decent gap at the top of the top plate (meaning it's not square with the bottom plate), however, I cannot attach photos with this review. I'll likely need to grind a portion of the top plate in order for the forks to slide over them more easily.
