I was a little hesitant buying something with no reviews from a seller I couldn't find a whole lot of information about. In general, the build quality leaves a little to be desired; as you can see in the photo, there's a weird split in the finish of the base and one of the corners is chipped (and maybe burnt too?). The base itself is on the lighter side so I ended up using some cheap c-clamps to mount it to my bench so I can use it with the arm angled away from my workspace without it tipping. None of that affects the functionality though. At over $150 less than a comparable Amscope (there was a $50 off coupon when I bought it), I'm extremely happy with it overall.
