Nice Looks, Terrible Quality

I bought this thinking it would be a nice compact solution to play my 33's on in my tiny apartment. When it arrived though, multiple issues popped up within the first 20 minutes. Firstly, the latch barely works so lifting the thing by the handle can cause it to flop open.
Once you open it up, the table is hardly attached to the body, you can see the wiring exposed because of the large gap. I figured I'd try to overlook that and see how it sounded. The needle arm is made of really cheap plastic and flops around, the "click" mechanism that it uses start the table barely works. It takes me a few tries of moving the arm back and forth to get the table moving (it has the same problem shutting off).
When I finally got it running, the table isn't level so the needle skips and despite being set to 33, the rpm doesn't sound right (It's a bit too fast).
After browsing Amazon's reviews, it seems these aren't uncommon issues with this model. If I could give fewer stars I would, so please be wary of what you're getting when you order.
What's great about it: It looks nice in the pictures
