Looking at other reviews, the issues other people seem to have are minimal to me.  Sure, this little, portable, light scale is a bit wobbly when an adult stands on it, but that would be expected.  If you need to keep an eye on your weight when you travel, or need to be careful about luggage weight, then this is perfect.  When I compare it to my scale at home, the weight difference is only about .5 lbs at best.  If you're looking for a bathroom scale, then this is not for you- if you are looking for a great travel scale that is super easy to pack, compact and accurae... you've found it.
