I have a number of regular tall boom K&M & Beyerdynamic stands and indended this for use in a small bedroom where floor space is limited (and for cosmetic reasons over a black finish).
The round base helps with the small footprint, and while it could be heavier and slightly wider, does the job fine as it with a short boom in matching grey. The finish is very good quality. The height adjustment grip is really comfortable and ergonomic, my favourite part of the stand. The stand work well with light mics but it is also remarkably stable (with the short boom arm) with heavy mics like the SE Gemini II whish posed no problem.
Overall it does the job just as intended and is a pleasure in use.
