For a home-gamers this table is more than enough. Based on its price, you can't really go wrong. It's not intended to be hammered on, so it would not be fair to compare it to tables that cost 5 to 10 times more. If all you're looking to do is weld a couple of pieces is metal together without the need for heavy duty fabrication, you won't be disappointed. There was some rust on the handle, but nothing that is noticeable or affects performance in any way. Overall 5 stars and I would recommend buying it for home use.
