Well-designed, well-built, well-worth-it fenders.
These fenders are sturdy, built with several safety features to allow the fender to pop off in case debris gets jammed between it and the wheel, and do a good job keeping the mud and water from flinging up on you.
According to the package, they are built with thin sheets of aluminum that is then sheathed in a clear resin-like plastic. I had no inclination to cut one apart to find out if it's truly aluminum, but what I can say is that they're quite flexible, quite sturdy, and also look quite good. Partially because their surface is very smooth, they help resist mud caking up inside, which makes them easy to clean. I'd imagine you want to avoid using abrasive scrubbers on it, though, because that would probably put tiny scratches in the smooth plastic, which would grab dirt more.
These fenders are designed for 700c tires, but I have successfully installed them on smaller 26" mountain bikes as well, with some coaxing and flexing. If you plan to do this, get these fenders rather than their narrower black cousin. I use both types on different bikes, and the black ones are too narrow to cover most mountain bike tires, and too stiff to flex to the shorter diameter. They fit beautifully on 700c road/hybrid tires, though.
The metal struts that support the fenders are longer than you need, which is great, because you can always cut them down to size, but can never add. The struts are flexible enough to be bent by strong hand torque, if necessary to get them to fit with your specific bike frame, but they are solid enough that you have to use a hacksaw to cut them. I don't recommend bolt cutters as they will shear the metal to a sharper point. That said, the fender kit comes with plastic tip protectors that will cover any sharpness. I was slightly concerned about the tips being loose enough that they might fall off during a hard ride, so I put a dab of hot glue inside each of mine. This helps hold them on firmer, but will still safely give way in case of debris jamming in the fender.

Drafting table is well-built, well-featured, and very affordable.
3 of 3 found this helpful This adjustable drafting table is pleasingly sturdy and well-built. The metal framework seems to be of good quality -- although I would always recommend the good practice of tightening all the bolts in by hand instead of using a power tool, to avoid stripping out any threads. Assembly was easy and the included instructions were clear. Just for longevity, I applied a light dab of grease to the two tabletop pivot bolts.
It stands a little taller than a traditional household table, but people used to artist/drafting tables probably know to expect that. The table doesn't take up much floor space, but the tabletop feels roomy while working. It is quite lightweight and easy to move.
The option to use rolling casters or glide feet is nice, as is the fact that two of the casters are locking. And the locking actually works!
The glass tabletop on mine is clear, smooth, and flawless. It was a little darker than I expected (it is smoke-tinted rather than clear) but I like the look of the smoke-tinted glass better. It just offers less light transmission if I place a light behind it (using the table as a lightbox).
The tilting mechanism is smooth and feels solid. As another reviewer pointed out, to lower the tabletop, first raise it all the way up.
This may not be a factor for most people considering this table, but one other thing I was pleased with is that the simple design allows extra items to be added to the table framework easily. To make the most of lost space, I am adding a shelf that extends behind the center cross-girder, and could easily envision adding hanging files along the table legs.
As a parting note, the table was well-packed in the shipping box, with the glass tabletop sheathed in styrofoam and double-boxed.
I am very pleased with the table, and would gladly recommend it.
