I_e had this heat press for several months now. It didn_ come with instructions and had to get some info on craft chat groups and YouTube but after that it was easy to use. I have it sitting in wheeled trolley so can move in/out when it_ in use to allow full use of the swing away. Originally had it on a unit but it definitely needs something where the top can completely be free to swing right around. It is sturdy but looks a bit cheap with the wires but it works a great and no issue with results. Heats up quickly. I have not ventured with the attachments yet - not really sure where to start with them!
