I almost returned it because it really is that much of an eye soar but given the choice between a beautiful looking instrument that sounds terrible or a fugly instrument that sounds

Nice warm sound and a sturdy instrument.

Very fun instrument

Won't protect the instrument and won't hold music or accessories.

This uke has held up very well, and continues to stay in tune better many of my other, more expensive, instruments

This is a beautiful mahogany laminated wood-grained instrument

I wanted the slightly mellower sound of the Tenor, and this is a beautiful little instrument.
