Would appreciate any links to reputable sellers. Based in the US if that changes shipping advice.

I went through this exact decision last year.

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
  2. Check the return policy on the listing
  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

After trying several options myself, Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
