The sales service was fine, but this violin is appalling. It's cheap of course, very cheap, and with a few hours work by a violin maker/repairer can be made playable, but if someone was just hoping to dip their toe into playing a violin this wouldn't really give them a great chance. The wood on the frog of the bow is completely square, not rounded, so very hard to get a proper bow hold. The wood cheap and obviously not made well (its super cheap so was expecting that - its good enough for an absolute beginner) but just crucial detail like the fact the bridge wasn't just roughly cut but didn't fit the instrument. I made a new bridge for it and it's fine, but again, that could cost £50 to get done easily, so you aren't actually saved any money buying this violin.
