A true welding table typically costs thousands, and for good reason - you need a large area, perfectly flat and machine to high tolerances. So then, this table is none of those things, but as long as your expectations are in line with the price then you'll likely not be too disappointed.The item arrived intact which is largely thanks to UPS would delivered the package with no tears or other damage. Packaging is indeed minimal and I can understand why some people are receiving transit damaged product. I had no such issues, however...My table wasn't flat or anywhere close. One corner dips almost 5mm over about 10cm. It's not the end of the world but the table could be forgiven its many vices if it were at least flat. I suspect Quality Control is non-existent so your table may be perfectly flat - it's probably down to chance and I rarely catch a break.Aside from that, what you get is a reasonably thick steel plate (1/8in approx) with a under-frame spot-welded to it. The legs attach to the frame and assembly was obvious. In my case, no issue with misalignment and the screw feet worked as expected. For sturdiness it could really do with cross bracing but, for the price, acceptable.The accessory pack is hilarious, especially the gloves. I would suggest throwing the gloves straight in the bin after you've finished laughing. The clamps are, to put it politely, on the weedy side. I haven't used them yet but I'm not optimistic about their durability or sturdiness. Do not buy this table for the accessory pack!So overall I'm giving this table four out of five stars simply because it's cheap and not useless. I do wish the table were actually flat but I strongly suspect that's down to chance. The question you need to ask yourself, before buying, is 'do I feel lucky?'. If you can afford a real welding table then buy one. If, like me, you're a weekend hobbyist on a budget, this may be an acceptable 'first table'. It is certainly better than the smaller tables offered at discount st
