It comes in a basic carboard flat pack box, some parts are wrapped in clear plastic, and has a single sheet of paper that contains rudimentary assembly instructions...however if you have ever assembled a PC before, then this is pretty straightforward. Essentially it is comprised of 6 slotted aluminum bars and a plexiglass bar to hold any PCI/PCIE cards in place.
I did not like the flimsiness of the plexiglass bar. As another reviewer had mentioned he snapped his, I also snapped mine during the first installation of my GPU. The small plexiglass bar should be made of metal.
As you can see from the photos I setup a E-ATX motherboard, a 2080ti, and a single (120mm) fan radiator. This is by far the largest motherboard you can fit on this bench accompanied by a radiator CPU AIO cooler, which is does not state it can accommodate. I used one of the extra "L" brackets to mount the (Corsair) AIO.
Once it was all assembled I performed some minor wire management. The photos display the ease at which you can hide all the wires nicely by simply using some zip ties, and to note, the photos show a fully assembled and working build. Overall the entire "rig" felt very heavy and dense.
The "case" felt rigid and durable and I hypothesize that it will last a very long time, after all, it is just made of aluminum and some screws. The "case" did not possess a feeling of precision though. What I mean specifically is that if you were to use this as a daily benching station, which requires multiple motherboards being installed on and off of it, it would require some re-alignment of the motherboard mounts from time to time and some tightening of screws every now and then.
I used this for a couple weeks before I decided to return it. I felt that the overall assembled quality was a little lacking. In order to reduce some of the flimsiness that occurred with minor moving and adjustments, a handful of rubber washers would have greatly helped. I also believe that while I was able to fit an E-ATX motherboard on it, that it is made more for M-ATX motherboards, which would fit much nicer than normal ATX and E-ATX motherboards. There are other benching stations available on Amazon with similar pricing and better layouts.
While rating this product the prompted review stars asked for "Warmth". Sure, it runs cool because it is an open air "case". There is nothing to retain heat (obviously). The second prompt was for "Thickness" and the third prompt was "Sheerness". I'm not sure what this is referring to exactly. It is not "thick" once assembled and not "sheer".

As noted many times, the instructions are pretty comical. It's like they deliberately went out of their way to make the manual illegible. (Printed in very light black ink on cardboard color paper - it makes image attached on the product page look like it's in 8k) That said, you should pay attention to it... most notably one of the MB standoffs needs to be reverse direction from all the others and that's basically impossible to see. You'll think "oh, of course" when you get to installing the MB... but by that time half the thing has to come apart to fix.
Again, it's sturdy enough for what it is, but certainly couldn't stand up to being handled roughly, and I'd say constantly being moved from place to place is right on the verge of that. Some loctite on the screws would help a little keeping everything where it's supposed to be.
All that aside, it's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. A cheap'ish open bench that I could change parts in and out of relatively hassle free. This is that. Lots of extras, (the pwr/res switch was a nice addition) finish is pretty good, overall looks pretty sleek. There are nicer open benches, and there are cheaper open benches, but imo there are not any nicer, cheaper open benches. A-
The picture for this item is wrong, The case I received has four cross members (the black pieces in the picture) and is correctly sized for an ATX motherboard. This is actually a QDIY PC-JMK6, made by some faceless Chinese company that has no web presence. There were no assembly instructions included, only a packing list in Chinese with a handful of words in English. I found a Youtube video (in Spanish) that was some help, but it's really not that hard to figure out how to assemble it.
I'm not crazy about the plastic piece that holds the power supply in place, if you're not careful it probably wouldn't be hard to break it, as there is nothing holding the other end of the power supply in place.
Getting the mounting studs lined up to match the holes in the motherboard was a bit tedious. If you just mount the motherboard on the studs, there's no way to tighten the screws that secure the plates in the channel. I ended up cutting a piece of cardboard the size of my motherboard and marking the mounting holes on it. I used an awl to punch holes in the cardboard and screwed the cardboard to the mounts, then cut the cardboard away around each mount and tightened the screw that secures the mount in the channel. Then I removed the cardboard from the studs and the motherboard's mounting holes lined up perfectly with the studs.
All in all, I'm very happy with it.
