I wouldn't normally buy a scale like this, but now that I'm more busy outside of work, hobbies etc. it's nice to have a good scale to hand. when you need them. I don't have an ISO weight to test its accuracy, but then again I have no reason to doubt its ability to do what I do. Assembly was easy, the pallet is very well made and durable. I took bubble wrap from the start and put it on the scale. 3 years. Cool. At first I was confused by the battery symbol on the display. But then I read the instructions. :) The packaging was excellent, as it should be for something like this. Overall I think the quality is great. Expensive? Yes. Well done. Yes. Highly recommended for anyone who wants/needs to have a good scale on hand for all their needs.
