Have you seen this related thread? https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/cheapo-slip-rolls-any-good.120513/
Cheesie. Sorry for not replying on the other thread.
My RDG rollers are really good quality and nice to use. Can't fault them really. The width was the only issue which I why I made a bigger set. I haven't used the small set very much.
From the pics of the 610mm Vevor model.
The side plates look sturdy enough.
The folded sheet metal tie in piece along the bottom doesn't look good at all, but I'm sure you could replace it with a piece of box section to stiffen it up.
This pic shows that the rollers look quite solid. There's a better zoomed picture on the Vevor site but I can't manage to copy and paste that one. The tube end doesn't look like very thick wall but they seem to get more solid further in.
Those red handles look awful considering you might want to cinch those screws up tight.
Price seems very low. Worth a punt I'd expect.

Not these items but, tbh, I am yet to buy anything (as far as I know) from Vevor that has been fully up to spec. My experience is limited, but the last two items have been subject to acceptance while failing to adhere to the specified details/claims.
The latest may well come up in a future thread. PP quality control and exagerated marketing hype. I have the ability to test their claims, whereas many have to accept (or are blinded by) their advertising claims. They are a supplier of cheap (and often of suspect quality - I think) products.

A pal has a set
End plates are flame cut steel .
Very obviously chinesium but what do you expect for far less than material would cost here?

Thats exactly it ,,,, a decent second hand set is now in the 5 or 6 hundred quid range ,,, there has to be a trade off somewhere down the line.
After enquiring in the other thread, I ended buying the 600mm Vevor rolls..
It wasn't the nicest experience, but they managed to roll 2mm mild steel @ 400mm wide - so was very happy given the price. Was just a one off thing for me, and I suspect they wouldn't like to keep doing it! I had been pricing up building some myself, but - as above - would have cost me more in just materials..
