The processing with a mix of plastic and aluminum is not outstanding, but adequate for the price and definitely not bad or cheap. The functionality of the device to satisfy all desires: Sufficient working height, 360 degrees rotation ability of the workpieces and the ability to fold the stand, have definitely convinced us.
