Overall, the piano is fairly well constructed, and arrived quickly. The box includes all of the extra stuff mentioned in the item description, and the stuff is all decent.
SOUND:
When you play the piano out loud over its built-in speakers, the sound quality is actually better than I was expecting, in the mid-range of the piano, at least. The sound does become a bit distorted and tinny at the highest and lowest few keys, and I swear one of the high keys is out of tune. Despite that, I'm fairly p ...

SOUND:
When you play the piano out loud over its built-in speakers, the sound quality is actually better than I was expecting, in the mid-range of the piano, at least. The sound does become a bit distorted and tinny at the highest and lowest few keys, and I swear one of the high keys is out of tune. Despite that, I'm fairly pleased with the sound quality of the piano's speakers.
KEYBOARD FEEL:
Overall, the keyboard actually is hammer weighted, full-sized, and feels pretty good to play. I do not think the keyboard is actually graded though; the keys on the bass side don't feel any heavier than those on the high side. Also, the keys are *kind of* touch/speed sensitive, but the sensitivity ranges from quiet at a feather-touch to maxing out at normal playing - don't expect the sound to get any louder by hitting the keys harder than normal. I don't know if this is a problem of me being an inexperienced player, but I don't see myself being able to get much in the way of dynamic volume playing this piano - to get the keys to play quieter, I have to hit the keys with such gentle care that.
OTHER STUFF:
The piano does also have all of the other random bells and whistles that the description says it does like different instrument sounds and the ability to do accompanying rhythms and stuff. I haven't messed with those features a ton, but everything seems to work if you can decipher the manual.
CONCLUSION:
Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with my purchase, considering its low price. My main complaints are the headphone issue and the very limited range of dynamic volume available to me from the keyboard. I'd say this is a good piano for price-sensitive beginners like myself. Also, don't forget that you'll also need to get a stand for this piano and likely a piano bench as well.
