What does this mean?Pros & Cons

I have another place in mind for it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I was somewhat hesitant when i ordered this scale because some people claimed it was too light duty or too hard to assemble

While it may be lighter than the old ones back in the day those were completely overbuilt just because they could

If you look at the photos i included you can see a piece of threequarter inch plywood under the scale which i had to use due to an unlevel floor
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So first i got the appropriate piece of plywood approximately 12 x 22 put it in the floor and leveled it in all directions by adding shims on the underside

I then glued the shims into place and put back in the floor
