The Gewa Allegro VC1 1/8 is a solid choice for young cellists just starting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
It stands out due to the solid wood construction, which is often found on more expensive instruments; the overall build quality is respectable for the price range.
The resin varnish is durable but can show wear with heavy use; a light coat of wax periodically can help protect it.
