C`mon, Plastic, unspecified plastic panel at that, this makes MDF look like the choice of the professsionals...
The row of HT bolts along the short axis of the bed, what exactly are they doing? its not resisting forces created by the machine.
Did the `maker` get a cheap deal on lead screws that were slightly too short?
Hopefully supplied model has all 4 bolts on the spindle collar.
Seriously, as a learning beginner even I can spot the severe limitations of something like that, engraving chocolate , thats about as far as your going , and even then don`t expect repeatability.
If you want to get started why not the metal frame that the plastic abomination is copied from

It will actually cut small pieces in things harder than chocolate.
Thing, as Jazz says, that takes longest to learn is the software on the CAD/CAM side, getting from the idea on the screen to getting the machine to start where you expected and cut the item out.
For me a Chinese 3040 has been worth the price of entry as a `trainer` along with lurking around here and the zone.
