Natural 10-inch Bamboo Tongs (Set of 6)

The tongs look great in the pictures. Overstock shipped it very quickly and I got it in a few days. Packaging was poor but it's bamboo, so hopefully nothing breaks (keep reading). A note about construction. They took two flat pieces of bamboo, put a wedge at one end, applied some wood glue, and put a metal rivet to hold the whole thing together. The workmanship is poor quality. The rivet is loose and the wood glue is poorly applied with drops of glue hanging out on the edge (take a knife and scrape it off?). Two of the 6 tongs were broken because the wood glue failed and the rivet was not strong enough to hold it all together. loose. Also, what's not noted is the tension required to squeeze the tongs together - I have average guy sized hands and found it hard to use the tongs to pick up something like a whole carrot. I'm debating right now if I want to complain and deal with the headache of packaging the return of these things.
