The shipping box that it came in was in bad shape. Like other reviews, my wm425 was missing a part - one of the plastic frame guards. The wm425 is sturdy and stable although it does have some shortcomings. The three wood table tops are too thin (5/8) cheap plywood and mine were warped. They should be at least 3/4 inch plywood. The nylon belt drive and plastic hubs slip and the belt skips often which wears out the belt and drive hubs. When tightening the crank assembly to hold wood pieces for work the front sliding clamp table top tends to move up off of its side supports - its really a bad design. The plastic spacers that are bolted to the three wood  tables are poorly designed - they wear easily and have too much up/down play. The right angle side support which is welded to the frame is too thin and mine was not level - it was warped and required bending to get the table top surfaces flat.
