Good scale, functions adequately for our purposes, however I had hoped the base would be a little more weighty to keep the scale stable. We have a 2 year old, and he could EASILY topple this scale sideways. Heck, a gust of wind might do it, even. Straight out of the box, I noticed the indicator arm housing was bent. There was no package damage inside or out, so it had to have occurred before or during packing, not shipment, which makes me question Detecto's quality control standards. Fortunately the bend was not bad, and easily bent back by hand, which does not speak well for sturdiness of materials in the design, either.
The zero seems to set and stay well, but I think they should have made the turn-screw with a Phillips head socket or included a knob of some type for adjusting the zero; The flat head slot is awkward for older hands to maintenance.
Otherwise, functionality is very good, we verified its accuracy with other scales and specific dumbbells of known weights.
For the price, it is more than adequate, and if you have none of the issues I mentioned above, I could see someone rating this scale as high as 4 stars, but not five. It's just not that hardy of a construct.

my scale arrived on time and in great shape. scale works great and can measure in quarter pound increments.eceeded my expectations. great product.

Great price. Happy to have purchased a Made in USA product. Not as 'nice' as the more expensive Health O Meter that I use at the Fitness Center, but I did not have to assemble that one. Seems a little 'cheap' with mating parts not fitting like they should. The scale is best used on a very hard surface. Our carpetted area with a large piece of 5/8 inch plywood underneath was tippy. Cement basement floor is solid with no tipping. I would recommend this scale.

Amazon Market Place seller, Center Aisle LLC, fulfilled and shipped the scale quickly. Five Stars for them.

This is exactly what we wanted after tiring of other scales. It arrived in perfect shape, was easy to calibrate, and my 3yo digs the height rod. BTW the unit without the height rod (337?) costs about the same (actually a little bit more when I bought my 339). As an added bonus, it is USA made, and the unit came with well-thought-out documentation and signed inspection papers. In English.

Great product, I purchased this scale for my office and am very pleased with how easy it was to set up and use. The scale came complete and was packaged well. I received the scale within 3 days after order, very pleased with the quality and promptness.

Did a bit of research on less expensive balance beam scales and decided on Detecto 339. It was fairly easy to assemble. Quite sturdy for home use. Very happy with my choice.

Excellent. Assembly easy, works perfectly and is made in USA.
Highly recommmed Detecto products.

buying on line I always worry about the quality of my purchase. the reviews
help alot and so I am offering mine. this scale is typical of those found in
the doctor's offices. That's what I wanted and that's what I got. easy to put together and very exact to use. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Just what we wanted and needed. Our scale arrived in very protective packaging. It was easy to assemble, but took a phillips-head screwdriver in addition to the tool included (no big deal, just an extra trip to the garage). The scale is easy to use and, with a morning trip to the doctor's office including the same weight measurement on their scale as this new home scale, very accurate. A good purchase and great value.

REALLY GOOD QUALITY- BALANE MECHANISM STAYS IN PLACE UNLIKE MY LAST SCALE. IT WAS NOT TOO DIFFICULT TO PUT TOGETHER. Detecto 339 Balance Beam Doctor/Physician Scale w/ Height Rod, 400 lbs / 180 kgs, Made in the USA
