More than expected

Great stand - well made!

Great stand at a great price

Started using it the day it arrived--no disappointments here.

Great Stand!

This is a great stand for the price! Other brands make the same thing for double the price and there is not much difference in these stands. These are VERY sturdy. I have two and use one for the Reflexion filter and one for overheads for drums and they are perfect. I wouldn't trade these beasts for anything.

Great for the Money

Inexpensive and Functional! Make sure you have at least an eight foot ceiling otherwise it will be too tall for you to use. Works very well. The base could be a couple of pounds heavier but otherwise a great product.

Eh

This stand is NOT sturdy at all. I don't know how anyone could think that. The boom is basically held on with 2 very weak weld points. I lifted it a few inches to get over a threshold and the weight of the boom snapped it off the main pole. I'm waiting for a replacement now. I have an old Atlas that's beat up but THAT is what sturdy looks like. I bought it used for less than this one was new.

That said, otherwise, it is what it is; the most affordable large boom on the market. If that's what you need and your funds are tight and you can't wait for a used Atlas to come on the market, then go for it. Just be REALLY careful with it. You definitely get what you pay for.
