I received one of these headphone stands in the mail today from the last drop. This $150 headphone stand isn't exactly enduring itself to me so far, considering that I ordered the Makassar option and I received the Zebrano version. I looked at the Sieveking website just now and didn't even see Makassar as one of the available options. at this point I'm doubting whether it actually exists.
As for comparing this Zebrano to the cheap knockoff from Amazon I've had for a while, the overall quality on the Sieveking version is indeed far superior. The first knockoff I got had a massive crack in the cross section, so I sent it back and got a replacement that wobbles. I tried sanding the bottom down to make it even, but it turns out that I'm not much of a wood worker.
I'm sure all the haters out there are still going to hate this for the price, but it is a quality product that can't be replicated cheaply.
Hopefully Massdrop support can sort this out in a reasonable amount of time. I would contact Sieveking directly, since they shipped it out, but their website is in German so I don't have high hopes for that.

rhenomjust like you, i ordered the Makassar but received a Zebrano instead... i have emailed them and they have replied asking for a picture or a video as evidence, have done so and am awaiting their reply...
EDIT: so they have requested the vendor for a replacement unit for me, but will offer me a refund if the vendor is unresponsive after 30 days from requesting a replacement...
rhenomThe Makassar version had its own separate page apart from the other four options on their site:

Just found that right now as I was trying to look up the other wood options that weren't pictured here at Massdrop.

VinceTheStampede624That's nice, but it doesn't change the fact that Makassar was an option on this drop, I picked it, and they sent me Zebrano.

hh83917Massdrop told me that they tried to contact Sieveking to get a replacement and received no response. Now I'm sending it back for a refund.
