Excellent value for money , feels sturdy and not awkward to position. Purchased this for my daughter who's about 6 months in to her drumming career, standard kit only had a crash ride and as she's getting better upgraded her cymbals to Zildjian set and needed another stand for the 16" Crash.
Setting up out of the box took a bit of working out but once it was up and positioned it's been absolutely fine and has taken a battering this week and held up.
Reading some of the other reviews I was in two minds for buying this but as it's for home use thought I'd give it a go. I am sure there are better stands out there for the more advanced players and performers but this fits the bill perfectly, also purchased a extension arm for a splash which attached ok , but some of the bars are a little thinner than normal so would only attach in a couple of places .
To sum up if you're a beginner just after a cheap stand if your expanding your cymbals whilst learning it's a good buy, if your a gigging drummer looking for an extra or replacement weighing up what others have said you should probably opt for a better make! Time will be the judge of reliability.
