Avanti appears to be a Florida based company. I am willing to bet that that cooler was built exactly to the specifications set before them.

How much are you willing to bet?
Seriously, not to dig at the Chinese, but they certainly do not follow the letter of the spec. They make their own decisions, often, about what will be 'close enough.'
btw, I design various products which often get made in China. Every first article is filled with their interpretation of the spec. Also, it is clear that they 'read pictures' much more than read our words (specifications).
For example, I had a client freak because his product fell apart when he was trying to show how tough it was. He was banging it against the cement and snap! .....on inspection, the assembly had a sheared rivet. --
An Aluminum (or "Aruminim ") rivet, where it was clearly
specified in the drawing as steel.
