These stands are extremely sturdy, and feature a cast metal base heavy enough to ensure the stand will remain safely upright when supporting a vocal mic without a boom. I'd personally probably not use this or any round base stand with anything other than a very short boom. I would use a tripod stand for extra security if a boom is necessary.
These have a traditional clutch mechanism for securing the upper half of the stand at the desired height. I haven't tried stands designed to allow "single handed" adjustment, as I need convincing these clever systems will be sturdy enough to stand up to gig abuse. No such problems with this stand, but adjustment will need two hands.
The matt black finish looks good on stage and on camera. However, a fairly large K&M name logo is screen printed in silver, on the upper part of the lower half of the stand. Not ideal, particularly if using this stand for a televised performance. Not an issue in a recording studio, though.
The stand comes supplied with the base loose; the two need to be screwed together. There is a knack to doing this that comes with practice, to avoid a crossed thread. I recommend placing the base on the ground when you screw the stand together, to ensure it can't fall off the stand onto your foot, if not screwed in properly.

Stable with a descent weight and easy to set up.
Still using this day. Really stable and comfortable. Since I am a guitar player, find this very comfortable to work with. The color has come off a bit, but nothing too bad.
Pros.
1. Stable. Stability on this microphone stands is really great. I have hit it with my head on accident as well as smacked it with the my guitar's head-stock a few too many times, but every time it stood straight and barely shifted or moved.
2. Descent weight. With the steady cast-iron base comes a bit of weight, bur relatively to small to notice. Easy to carry out.
3. Easy to set up. Consists of couple of parts and it does not take a master's degree in engineering to set it up, haha.
Cons.
1. Not much bad I could say about this microphone stand, other than the color and the material around the steel tube started to come off after a doing a couple of shows on the road.
As a guitarist, this was a perfect fit for me. Incredibly stable table, has a descent weight and it is relatively easy to set up. The material and color has come off a bit, but nothing so bad It could not be used.

k&m 26125 mike stand with a heavy round base
base is heavy the whole thing looks ang feels good. I struggle to thread the stand into it's base. At one point I was about to give up and send it back as faulty. now that i've done it i don't want to unscrew it for fear i'll never manage to get it back together again.

A nice straight mic stand. The stand is very sturdy and won't fall down even when the things get wild on stage. It is pretty heavy, which is good because lighter stand would fall. The only thing I would change is the size of the plate which is just a bit too wide in my opinion.
