sturdier isn't the word for it  =  took 3 people to get the main box off our truck and the stand box alone was as heavy as a ce series plotter - - - we got it to the basement and inventoried parts = assembly will happen over the next few days.  but had to comment on what a dang beast it is just getting it in the house already.   I knew when my daughter on one end of the moving strap turned red and she works as an rn in a nursing home lifting people that this was going to be different than the other plotters.  High hopes and fingers crossed 

Skeeter you crack me up with the sturdier and more rugged - could have used a forklift lol
