Good for the price.
Pretty happy with this little mill. It's very well designed for its price, but has a few limitations.
The slide ways are adjustable with a brass gib, just like a full size real machine, to take up slack and compensate for wear over time. They can also be used to lock the table. However, whereas the Z (cutting head) adjustment is very accessible, the table adjustment is difficult to get the appropriate wrench and Allen key combination in to adjust.
The other little complaint is the motor is not very powerful. It is something that people need to be aware of and should really expect given the cost.
Other than that, it's pretty smooth to operate, and surprisingly solid and heavy. The base is cast iron, and the column is a pretty stiff aluminum extrusion.
Some of my co-workers said they thought it looked bigger in the pictures, so read the dimensions carefully. It's pretty small. The largest collet and corresponding tool shank diameter is only 1/8" inch. You won't be doing a lot of face milling with this machine, lol.
I bought this instead of a Sherline Mill (I have a Sherline lathe) due to the smaller size and significantly lower cost than the Sherline. So far I'm happy and hope the long term reliability matches this good first impression.
