I read a review by BayouBlssm and decided to give this a try. So glad I did. First, it only got 4 stars because a nut was missing. The little bag was torn and a couple of the pieces fell out. That's ok I had an extra. Those things happen.I made a parmesan-style cheese 4 lbs for my first project with it and it was a PERFECT press as you can see in the pic. This was only after 30 min press. I have a couple of other ones but I do not want to play with putting weights on etc.I don't know why people don't read what the vendor has posted. There were complaints that is was cheap pine. NO it is a different stronger pine called Siberian pine. Siberian pine is generally considered to be stronger than standard pine due to its higher density and ability to withstand harsh Siberian climates, making it more resistant to rot and pests, contributing to its overall strength. These trees can live 800 yrs.The rods, washers, nuts etc are standard that you can buy at a big box hardware store. The same ones that come with the handmade one on another platform and charge more than 2x the cost of this one.Someone mentioned that they had pieces left over?? No, you did not realize that a piece of wood is used to put in the follower if needed. I use a can as you can see in the other pic.Another one complained that it was so difficult to put the rod through, again you don't understand the construction and they have to be snug to work properly. Someone made one for me and the holes were too big and it was wobbly, thus causing a poor press. I strongly recommend this press if you are new or more advanced. I hope you find this helpful and understand it is a great product.

I was really excited to get my first real press (I dabble in cheesemaking), but I was taken aback when I took this out of the packaging, as the wooden parts are completely raw and rough enough they need sanding and finishing! That said, the metal hardware of this seems to be decent quality, and I'm sure once I've finished the wood parts it will be rather nice, but this is not ready to go out of the box! As a reminder to those just getting into cheesemaking, do NOT use raw wood like this with any sort of dairy product or you're asking for a bad time as the fluids can quickly contaminate it!I knew it was going to need to be assembled, but it came with NO instructions! I was able to piece together how it was constructed by watching the video provided by the supplier here, but not everyone has access to the internet 24/7 and instructions would have been invaluable.

Okay - this is a basic press. Does what it claims to do. The price is actually good, I couldn't find any other press that was this sturdy or powerful for THIS type of press. And other reviewers surely didn't read the listing description, as it specifically states that:1. the containers are not included, only the pressure parts,2. the listing states that to install, to watch the video on the product page (if they would have watched it before they ordered, they would know how easy it is,)3. the wood is made with sharp edges to maximize the strength (for the "home cheesemakers" that complained about "wood dust, splinters, and metal bits" getting in their cheese... C'mon. The cheese is supposed to be covered with cheesecloth anyway. I brushed off the wood pieces and treated them with food-grade mineral oil as you are supposed to do with wooden kitchenware, so the wood is sealed and protected and simple to clean,4. I easily printed off the info in the listing to keep in the box; especially helpful was the suggestion to use a kitchen scale if you want to get the pressure to the correct level, then tighten the nuts. I just wing it & it's fine. In the past, most people improvised with household items for weight anyway.Look, all this takes is some common sense and the barest bit of cheesemaking knowledge.And YES the washers go under the wing nuts; the following is from a 5 second internet search for those who don't understand what washers do, from Marsh Fasteners website: "Flat washers are used to distribute force or correct a hole size. In other words, flat washers are used to increase the screw’s bearing surface area. This way, the fastened object experiences less surface pressure." and "When the bearing surface sinks under the surface pressure, it can lead to looseness. Fortunately, a flat washer can reduce the surface pressure effectively and prevent the screw from coming loose."There ya go. Happy cheesemaking!
