The positives first: The stand met with me its purpose, the price is still right. But: - Re-assembly I had imagined more easily; the pipes must be fitted with a lot of strength in the plastic connector, too much force is applied, then break the connector. Markings on the tubes would be helpful. - Especially great stability you should not expect, despite the "40 kilos" statement. As a stretching rod for lightweights unsuitable.
