I ordered this from Amazon after reading several good reviews. Since this scale was designed with the help from the folks at King Arthur Flour, that also affected my decision. It arrived well packed, with no significant damage to the shipping box. The box for the scale was fine too. However, when I removed the scale from the box the stainless top fell off. The top had become detached from the cylindrical shaft extending from the body. There was a good amount of some kind of adhesive on the top of the shaft but it apparently hadn't adhered very well to the top plate. Amazon made the return process easy, however they weren't able to send a replacement since they were out of stock. I haven't decided to order one again yet, based on my experience.

This is a great little scale. It has a volume measuring option especially for baking. It is light weight,easily cleaned and seems very accurate. The tare weight is easily set. The scale turns itself off to save battery life. I am very happy with this scale.

I own two of these; one for at home and I keep one at my son's restaurant for when I bake. They are quite accurate and you would be amazed at how inaccurate your measuring cups and spoons are! Did you know that 1 cup of sugar is 7 ounces?! There is a list of foods that are numbered that come with it and all you do is put in a number - 58 is butter or cream - set volume or lbs./ounces/grams and put in your ingredients. You can keep adding more to it by clearing the number, type in the new ingredient number, tare the weight and keep going. This is for liquid or dry and you can do both in the same bowl. I set my filled cake pans or bread pans on it to make sure that I have equal amounts in each pan. Print out a couple of the lists and have them around; mine get pretty messy! I did have trouble with one of them once; the number 9 wouldn't come up so I called them and I sent it back in the box (so keep it and the insides that it comes in), and they sent me a new one right away.
