You get what you pay for

Please read the full review! /5 Overall 4 out of 5, but for me and the things I need, 5/5 Okay, at first I was arguing about whether to take it or not due to all the mixed reviews, but I'm glad I did got it because it is perfect for what i need. I'm a freelance illustrator and apart from working from home I go to conventions quite often and I needed something that would speed up the whole setup process and I went with this one and I'm honestly glad that I did it. This product was beautifully made and arrived on time with everything it was supposed to. It was easier to remove than to install as my main issue was the horizontal bar. The two boards were supposed to stick together and click, but it took me effort to do that and even more to make it happen, ie ask for help. And something else was the stability of the whole. I seemed to have a hard time balancing him with the height, and even when he was slightly off on one of his legs, he balanced on 2 of the 3 stilts, which made him wobble slightly, but not much. This can be an inconvenience for artists on artists' lane with tight spaces, but it's just something to be careful and vigilant about. Overall I had to use sandbags to distribute the weight. What I hung on my photo set were prints made from lightweight card stock and taped in place so the whole thing was very light and didn't wobble. I would not recommend this product for people who need to set up and take down on uneven terrain or even put heavy backgrounds on it, I feel it leaves a slight drip on the horizontal bar. The easier you store this product, the better it works. But honestly, for what you pay for, it still works as it says. I just think people expect it to perform like a $100+ set where there are obvious differences. Overall I was happy with my product but for others reading make sure it works for what you are interested in.
