At first I was skeptical, it was hard for me to buy since it's made from acrylic. It is not solid as steel, but everything is part of the mechanism. Is a very thick acrylic (touch panel), very strong close to perspex. It is ment to bend, and did a perfect job as a press with no cons. Having 6 screws actually is better than 2, you have more control where every corner is pressed. Great product, great quality. I left the brown protective paper and everything was fine. The best card press for the price. It tolerates lot of pressure with no cracks or anything. I know it will last many years if not a last time. I recommend flipping over the panels after every use so with many years of use the possibility of bending can be eliminated. Highly recommended for card manipulators and flourishes worker, and xcm. And finally it looks really cool, simple and mechanic. It can be used also to display a very special deck. Will buy more in the future to keep my decks in good condition. Hope this helps.
