Beautiful castle creation - but comes with flaws

I bought this castle chiefly because it is perched on top of rocks with a cave below and a winding path around the side - the exact setting I was looking for without extra landscaping/terraforming on my part! Another big plus leading to my purchase is the windows effect of sun shining into the dark interior through dust particles ... that is genius! I also like the castle's textures, quirky interior floor plan, and its rather economic prim/land impact for a build of this size and intricacy, but ...

I rezzed the structure to preview at the inworld store, and thought there might have been a problem with object positions caused by the store rezzer since some ground textures bleed into the floor, rocks partially obstruct one of the main entrance doorways where doors swing open into rocks, etc., but after purchase and rezzing on my parcel, it looks the same, so I guess all that was intentional. OK, I get some of this since the castle is built on rocks, but rocks don't grow into doorways! Or is the castle settling into the rocks? Hard to tell.

I also found many chinks, gaps, and uneven places in this build where separate parts don't fit together well. This is especially the case in the "Dragon's Lair" room on the top level, where several castle sections seem to converge, creating a very uneven floor with about four surfaces at slightly different levels, although the carpet texture pattern disguises that a bit. The same carpet texture continues outdoors as floor texture on one of the castle ramparts, which is strange. Stranger still, is one of the interior wallpaper pattern textures repeated onto a surface of one of the sections of the castle parapet (I guess looking at pretty wallpaper might help when you are shooting at enemies from the battlements?)

Despite my complaints, I really, really like this item created so imaginatively by TheMaxx Dragonash and am glad it is modifiable, so I can fix some things. If it weren't modifiable, my rating would be much lower.
