Hi,
If you mean the Coronet Herald, then I've very recently bought one, but didn't get the stand as I was bench-mounting it. The lathe itself is excellent, and I am well pleased with my choice.

Had mine a few years now, been a fantastic bit of kit.
Using the bench feet mounted to homemade bench able to make it to the perfect height for me for turning comfortably on.

I'm the same as Sach, very happy with it, bought the feet and mounted it on my own home made stand. So far very robust, and with a 5 year guarantee. Just need to keep a couple of places on it clean, and it's like new all the time.

Not at workshop, too cold yet. But it's 4" longer than length from foot to foot.
It's set back 1" from front to feet. And the back is just deep enough to allow me to rotate headstock 90° so I can turn big stuff off the bed. And also to allow headstock to slide full length in that position, there's only half inch clearance from motor yo back wall . It does mean that the motor hangs over end of bed on left side. But that's where my scrap bin is, so fine for me.
On the bench feet there is enough space under the bed to put your gouges etc
