Harley Benton DS-10 Mini

Bought as a short term instrument after moving country before getting my other instruments sent over at a later date. For the price a perfectly acceptable guitar. Sound is small/boxy as expected but not unappealing. The size means you can easily play it sitting in any chair or on any sofa. Never unwieldy like a standard sized guitar.
The overall build quality is fine. No issues with gluing of the binding/neck joints. The top seems to be a very soft piece of wood and will probably indent easily over time.
However, the nut wasn't properly cut so the intonation near the nut wasn't great - I was able to cut deeper slots for the two high strings and now it's ok. The neck didn't need adjusting - good relief straight out of the box. But overall the action is HIGH. Not much you can do unless you want to sand down the bridge (I don't). For this reason I wouldn't recommend as a guitar for a beginner, whose finger tips will naturally be much softer. They would probably find it quite painful to play for any extended period.
As a 3rd/4th/5th (...!) guitar to have around for noodling it's a perfectly good option, however, and could certainly be taken travelling without worrying about it getting damaged.

So I decided to get this thing for my kid as his first acoustic.
He's 7 and loves everything guitar.
I figured this would be good for a beginner and thought it looked beautiful on the site, so I got it.

Came nicely packed, box in a bigger box to protect it from damage and arrived right before Christmas so great timing too.
I was pleasantly surprised, not against low expectations, but this is a great instrument for a beginner, for kids, and for anyone really.
It's light but holds together very well, has a clean bright sound and bigger than you would expect to come from its small body. That puts a big smile on my kid's face! On mine too!
Action is a little high but he likes it that way and that's nothing that can't be fixed with very little effort anyway if you like it lower.
Tuners work okay and tuning holds well.
The matte finish is beautiful and it really feels nice to the touch.
There are few minor things but not even worth mentioning and most related to personal style and preference that can be easily fixed or adjusted.
I've seen way more serious issues with way more expensive instruments so you can't go wrong with this one.

Overall I think is a great little guitar, big bang for the buck, and I'm thinking of getting one myself. I always thought no barbecue or campfire feels right without the ol' strummin' and this one's great for the road.
