First initial impression: \"WOW! this is a high-quality item!\" Second impression: \"WOW! this thing is uniquely well-packed!\" (Those who say they are missing the large blue knob.... it's there well buried beneath the foam packing hidden - hence the label \"peel-a-boo\" on the packaging) Third impression: \"WOW! the reviews were right! There are no real assembly instructions!\" But I had pre-expected that and simply looked at the pictures from the Amazon listing to decipher what went to what. pretty straight forward. Fourth impression: \"WOW! This is a nice quality item and well-worth it!\" Yes, it is indeed a nice quality item. solid, square, well-built, laser-etched markings, quality components.
