Machine seems like it was dipped in gear oil so that was fun but otherwise a decent little machine, legs are not very long maybe 18in so i have it setting on my kitchen table which puts it at a perfect height to use while standing. There are a few things that could have been done better mostly the welds and finish work like deburring and fitting of everything. There is only 1 thread tensioner so if you were expecting 2 like with most models you may be disappointed, though so far a single tensioner seems sufficient. I really wish they would have included a few lock washers or nylon lock nuts for the moving parts like the crank wheel. The bobbin winder is flimsily made and will require some more washers and finesse to make adequate. Over all i am pretty happy with the machine i expected to work out the details myself based on other reviews.. also dont expect good results with the extremely light weight thread they included with the machine that stuff is chinese garbage
