At this price, I expected the flimsy quality you would get from your local office superstore. No - This is a professional quality device. It weighs a ton.Because of its weight and awkward shape, don't panic when a mangled box shows up on your front porch. The device inside should be fine.My only regret is that I did not purchase the slightly higher-priced model with the paper presser component, but that's on me, not the vendor.
