I order this and it's a good weight but the rod literally broke off the base. I hate it because it's very beautiful. I've used it a lot since I've been a professional singer and it looks great in my performances. The thing is useless. The base is still good if I decide to play around with it and unscrew the broken part and replace it with a new stand. Not worth the trouble, I just replaced it with something else. It was stable when working properly.
