Excellent dish for EME!!! Outstanding customer service!! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I've had this dish in service on 23cm EME since November 2018. It works GREAT, and I highly recommend it. It does come as a kit as indicated, but is very straightforward to assemble. Due to my busy schedule, it took me quite a few months to build in my spare time, but it's not complicated otherwise, and well worth the effort.

Frank, PA4FP, is GREAT to deal with, and bends over backward to help, with fast, thorough response!!! Outstanding!!

The companion feed-horn as shown in the pic is great as well, for 23cm circular polarization (LH and RH for TX-RX) per 23cm EME standards.

I am having a ball "on the moon" at age 57, checking off a bucket-list item from age 14, when I first learned about EME in the 1976 ARRL Handbook!!! Sweet.
