Seemed strong enough at first but very quickly the upper extension arm came loose because the ball tensioner got stuck each time rendering it unusable. I know all barbell racks are like time bombs, but this one went up way faster than my $25 stage stand (which I still use). I perform a lot and was very disappointed. I hope it was just an accident but I would say be careful. K&M: I'm not a grouch. I would appreciate if you could prove me wrong. I'm looking for an arrow stand that isn't annoying.
