The assumption that made in Mexico is junk is flawed
A major vendor to my industry have used for 100s projects wanted to bring in a new product line that was dominated by a competing manufacturer. They did and investigation finding this USA company was having their very high quality product manufactured in Thailand where skilled workers worked for pennies compared to USA labor explaining the competitive pricing we were all taking advantage. Their metal work was beautiful paint finished flawless no dust or orange peel beautiful. This company would not go to Asia and looked at metal crafters in Mexico where they set up a new production plant. The quality and paint finishes are very good. In fact when an unusual project came my way that competitors walked away from they were able to manufacturer what I needed. Very happy client who was told by other vendors it could not be done.
Not all products from Mexico and China are junk. What about you 1k cell phone?? As a vendor told me years ago it's about how much $$$$ you have to spend.
