Good for what it is
What do you expect? It's a $12 mechanical scale.<br /><br />If you are looking for 0.1 lb precision, don't buy this scale. If you are looking for something modern and stylish, buy something else. If you want to be able to step on this scale and just &#34;get a number&#34;, you will be disappointed.<br /><br />So why buy this scale?<br /><br />You will be able to step on this scale and get a rough idea of what you actually weigh for years. No worries about batteries or sensor malfunctions in a few months.<br />If your weight is a bit off, this scale comes with a handy calibration wheel so you can adjust it. If your electronic scale gets out of calibration, well, too bad.<br />While internal friction may interfere the readings of any mechanical scale, if you think the number you get is odd, you can hop back on with no waiting!<br />You will not have to worry about the stylish glass surface breaking. The anti-slip rubber coated sheet metal surface is both safe and durable.<br /><br />There are better scales out there, there are better mechanical scales out there, but this scale does a good enough job for its $12 price tag.
