For me the stand came after 24 hours of the order at home :) All parts were available, and the part is not damaged. To build: Everything very quickly no instructions fixed only at the beginning I was a little confused because at least for me this was. But you quickly behind it for what all is well. I use the stand with the Rode NT1A microphone and I must say that the stand does not go into the Kniehe. The weight makes him cold even if you have everything fully extended to the maximum. All in all, I like this stand very well: D
