Yeah, pretty flimsy. The reason I posted this picture was to respond to umahunter regarding his question about the height of the shipping container. I recommend he talk with Matt about how the mills are currently being packaged. Stacking the cast iron base and drip tray on top of the mill IMOH is not a good idea. There's too much weight for the mill crate to carry, at least on mine. I bought my mill about 3-1/2 years ago so maybe they've changed the way they package them.
