The machine looks great to me, should work fine.
I have a router table that is just a bit smaller than this one you showed us.
The thing works good but don't expect to much.
You should look how easy the height adjustment is.
mine is hard to adjust and this can only with a special tool.
so try to find out how easy the adjustment works

This one is not as pretty as the Bosch, but it'll save you some bucks. If you have an HF nearby you can touchy-feely before springing for. Bring a straight edge with you.

Build it your own!

- make it a real floor stand table
- make the table bigger than expected to be needed

I Bought one, not the same as yours, it had simple splayed leggs so threw them away and planted the top in my workbench, I now have 6' either side of it Fantastic. I fitted it with a large Trend electronic router with a through wind up mechanism and wind it up and down with an old 12 v drill, saving me the cost of a Rout R Lift

I finally broke down and decided to get a new router and table. I had Craftsman that I purchased in the early 70's, and figured it was time!  What I bought was also Craftsman, but it is the larger table that I have seen with other manufacturer's labels.  Craftsman just came out with a new line up of routers, many of which include the ability to adjust the height from the top of the table, which is what I really wanted.  I'm like many of you being disappointed with newer Sears tools in general, but I really wanted to be able to adjust the router without standing on my head.  $89 for the router, plus $13.00 to extend the warranty to 3 yrs.
