I was a little bit weary to buy this press after seeing some of the reviews. But it is definitely worth it. There were a few parts that were tricky to assemble, some of the screw holes didn't line up but I found ways to muscle it all together without needing to drill new holes. All of the parts were accounted for with tons of extra washers. The instructions weren't great but it was easy enough to figure out. And the tabs underneath the arms were a little bit loose on the allignment bar but I was able to remedy that with a few layers of tape around the tab to beef it up.All in all, I feel like this machine is worth it for the price and what it is capable of. I had a great experience with it.
