I believe that many Tonearms can often exhibit aesthetically unsettling appearing behaviors visually during play or when being handled, arms with knife edge bearings seem very flawed the first time you handle some arms of that type.
But what really counts ultimately, is simply what comes out of the loudspeakers (or headphones).
As long as you're not experiencing mis-tracking inner groove or otherwise and the music is connecting with you emotionally or at least causing involuntary finger or toe tapping, you need to just avoid looking at the arm during play and consider yourself fortunate.
Generally those lower end Japanese standard equipment tonearms are anything but confidence inspiring or impressive and lots of them utilize pot metal and plastic construction, and feel loose as a Goose, but surprizingly they work and more often of not sound great ! go figure ?
