Query: Should've lasted longer

When I first got this phone, I immediately had doubts about its quality. The handset did not sit level on the base, a condition I have never run into with any phone at any price.The phone did work, and the sound was good. However, 3 years down the line it suddenly went "click" during a call and loud static in the background moved in.I'm recylcing the phone as it can't be used.Also, you can't remove the housing without cracking it or worse. It is very repair unfriendly. I would have liked to check if a wire had gotten loose, but it became pointless to do this because the phone's retro beauty would have been damaged in the process.The problem was the phone itself and not its wall connection.So I'm giving it 2 stars. A land phone that's not mistreated should last for years and years. This one is rather pricey and it didn't come close.
