newbie Decent enough for a first timer?

I REALLY want a lathe and this one is super cheap compared to others. Is it good for a total starter to turning? I’ll be using it almost exclusively for one-like projects. At least to start….

Not a bad price at all I’d say. My first lathe was similar in price and size. If you love it, you’ll get another one. Then probably another one after that.
