i was concerned after reading reviews online however I liked the look and ordered 10 for our office. The staplers have worked fine. Feel light-weight smooth in the hand. Stands up well no issues with falling over. I use standard staples that we had already and it works w/o any issue. The stapler is not metal and does feel light however I don't mind as it works well and is not heavy to hold. Stapler feels light but sturdy. Glad I bought them as I paid less than $4 a piece and received a modern looking stapler that works reliably for the whole staff.
This stapler is a perfect size that fits neatly in my desk drawer. It has a good feel and grip. The staples are perfect when they come out and does not jam.
No staples came with it and the staples it takes is a non-standard size. All the staples I have don't fit. Useless until I figure out the size and where to buy them. Sigh.
