This thing worked for the first month but later the strings couldn't hold their tuning and the sides of the uke begin to crack from bad paint and temperature change.

The paint is a bit scratched in places especially on the

But, the paint had flaws and it was impossible to tune

The uke has a muddy finish that looks like cheap paint rather than a proper wood finish.

Overall I like it and would recommend, as long as you don't pay more than $35, and don't mind some QC issues.
