Well packaged, clear instructions
It just arrived today. I've just barely got it put together so I've not gotten any use out of it. Once I do I will update review accordingly.I will say this... I work just as hard to earn my dollar as you do yours and when I choose to buy from and support a business (regardless of the product or service they offer) I expect to receive what I'm promised in exchange for my money. While I dont think I've got unreasonable standards, I do have them and expect that what I trade my hard earned buck for to be as promised, to last, to be functional, and the company to stand by their product(s) as I do mine. Because let's face it, things and stuff happen and sometimes we get duds. So once I get to put this pony to work I will review based on those standards.Let's be honest here I chose this particular pony for 2 reasons #1 reviews and #2 the price point. Upon unboxing and putting it together it appears to be well made BUT time will tell once I'm able to put it to use. I would like to give a pat on the back to the sellers for making instructions with pictures. Although I know how to put one together, not everyone does. And it just so happened there was as extra screw and nut that had it not been for the detailed instructions/pictures I'd have chased my tail for a while until I realized it appears to have been overlooked. Many reviews I read for various items get docked stars due to not having clear and concise instructions. It comes in just 2 pieces that the buyer must attach it's really simple but not everyone has used/worked with stitching ponies before.Please note that you will need a Phillip's screw driver as well as an allen wrench that are NOT included.

Good first stiching pony
This was a good value for my first stiching pony. I've used it a few times after moving from hand stiching without one. The parts are easy to put together, quality is good for the price. Not sure why people gave it low stars for the finish, just use some high grit sand paper before you sit on it. Works good and gives a secure hold.

You get what you pay for, but that's ok!
As someone who stitches from the couch this item is perfect to have under your leg while sitting. With this feature you could use this piece almost anywhere.The one down side is that the clamp does not have adjustable pressure. It's great for multiple or thicker pieces while treading, but thinner pieces can slip when moderate force is applied. I cannot fault it for this too harshly, it is a very simply constructed stitch pony, and for the price it is an acceptable compromise.Great for the novice who is building up their tool kit for sure.

Good value and quality leather working tool.
I like the quality of the finish and positive action of the clamping head. The seat portion or rather th part that goes between your seat and the chair is a bit too small but still quite workable. I added magnets to the uprights to hold needles when adjusting the leather part you are working on.

A Perfect 3rd Hand!
Why didn't I get one of these sooner?!? I have already stitched two projects using this and I am amazed at how much easier and faster it is to work with this acting as my 3rd hand!It came with very clear directions for assembly and was very easy to put together. The lever mechanism is wonderful for quick release and adjustments during stitching. It seems very sturdy. The wood is smooth and finished.I chose this stitching pony over other slightly less expensive models because this one came with the clamp already covered with leather.The extras are nice, too!

Great for beginners or better
What's not to like? It's affordable and has many of the same features more expensive example have. I'm just starting out doing leather projects but I had a couple dog collars that had alot of straight hand stitching on the. This worked great! I knocked both dog collars out in about an hr. It probably would have taken me two or three times that long with out it.

Very impressed at the price
I am using this to make sheathes and holsters. The controls are easy to use. This sits flush on the table top. Locks in well to hold your work. Easy to adjust for the difference in leather thickness. The leather wrap on the head of the pony gently and firmly holds the work without bruising or marking. I would buy this again if I needed another one.

Quick and easy
Absolutely a great small investment for me. I have this stitching pony installed on my workbench and have used it numerous times already. Makes holding the leather and stitching straight a breeze for me. The leather pads were starting to come off a bit when it arrived, and I ended up putting an oil and wax finish on it to seal the wood, but other than those two things, it arrived as advertised.

El pony stitch funciona muy bien!
Lo malo fue el embalaje, llego muy golpeado. En las fotos se aprecian un golpe en la piel y otro mas en la base, son detalles que no afectan su función pero no habla bien del transportista o del sistema de empaque.
