In general, the stand is not bad, but the quality is not five stars. The first thing that struck me was how difficult it was to screw the stem into the base. This required a lot of effort clockwise and counterclockwise. Also at the base there are three rubber pads as supports. That's okay, but not great as it can wobble a bit when touched. My main complaint was that the inner extension shaft could rattle against the inside of the outer extension shaft. This could be solved by using a plastic buffer clamp between the two parts. extensions. In general, it seemed to me that they started with good materials, and then skimped on the finishing touches. Decent but not great.
