Looks like a pretty solid stand and heck a new router is right around a $100, I say you got a good deal.

From the pics it looks like its a direct-drive. I prefer a belt-drive unit, but for that price it was probably a solid deal.

Hmmm. For the average box building project, there really are only a few different bits and techniques you need to understand. Roll over bit, flush bit, and a 1/4" spiral up-cut bit.
I recommend picking up those bits, then play with some test wood to practice. You'll catch on fast, its easy with the right tools.

Oh, dont forget to order a Jasper jig.
