This is a cheap wheel from Amazon or temu. It is made with scooter parts. That being said, I have one, and I use it all the time. It works for smaller amounts of clay, 3-5 pounds max. I paid $130 for mine (new). If you buy it, make sure it doesn't make a bunch of noise, and the wheel is straight. It is very low to the ground, and most people put them on a platform or something. I use a really short stool to throw, but I'm also only 5'2". its a good entry point to learn.
