Good for the price
I bought this to see if a concert size ukulele was big enough for me. I had a soprano before and it was too small. I thought for the price of this including delivery it would be worth it.
I was happy with what I got. the only thing that stood out to me as an issue is that the strings were pretty poor quality and had some damage on them, maybe they were kinked or pinched, they had little lumpy bits on them, maybe it was something to do with the way they are made. So I would recommend ordering a set of strings with it to replace them. It came with a little vinyl bag with a shoulder strap and a pocket on the front, which was nicer than I was expecting.
All in it was a neat little package.
I played it for a week or two and then moved up to a tenor size and spent quite a bit more on that.
Pros : good price, comes with a decent bag, decent tuning pegs..
cons: included strings are poor quality.

I bought this as my first ukulele. The concert size looks good to me, as a guitarrist it is easy to fret on this uke.
Sound
Altought it is a cheap ukulele, it is made of wood (basswood) which gives a nice sound.
Constrution
I?ve tried before several ukuleles made of plastic and this so much better. The finish looks nice and the feeling on the hands is sweet. The tuners keeps in tune pretty well in fact.
So if you are not sure about ukuleles world, try this one. Good quality at a small price.

Great beginners ukulele
Bought this uke because it was cheap and because Harley Benton products are often the best choice for trying something out. This HB UK-12C is no different. I wanted something I could grab and play a bit in the living room and it delivered. Good playability despite cheap hardware. Reasonable tone tho' nowhere near that of a high quality uke. Main thing for me is - I can't stop picking it up and playing it. Already am writing songs using it and am really enjoying this little beauty. It is not the best uke in the world. But at the pricepoint it is a great option if you want to try out the ukulele.

It's not the same quality as 3 years ago.
Three years ago I bought this model and the sound quality was great.
It was almost indestructrible. I've taken it everywhere, to a beach, flights, it stayed in my car for days and was still great.
Because of the great price and quality, I ordered another now.
Now, It's not the same quality. It sounds the same as any other 20/30€ ukulele. I'm very upset that my 3 years model sound way better than this one. you can see the wood of the neck is different, even the weight. I wouldn't recomend this one now.

Definitely worth the money
I bought it mostly for practice. At first, it was quite out of tune, after I have changed the strings, the intonation become as supposed to be, octaves are OK and the instrument stays in tune... Of course, the quality is not to be expected, as with more expensive instruments, but it does its job very well. I think you can't get a better ukulele for that money. I recommend buying it.

Awesome ukelele for beginners
I'm not a professional 'ukelele(list)?', I bought this uke to try it out though I spend much more time on the violin.
My lil sister's birthday happened so I'm writing this review based on her opinion since I gave her this uke as a present :)
My lil sister is very happy with it, she really likes the matte black finish and she thinks its decent sounding.
