Solid, well built stand, on the mid-cheap side but still better than the average cheapo boom stand. Nice weight, there is only one feature that I personally don't like: the screw-on boom part of the stand, which connects the upper part to the straight one; sometimes, when I want to tighten the the stand to a certain height (clockwise motion), holding the top part with your other hand may cause the upper part to come loose (being applied a counter clockwise motion), which is pretty annoying, to the point that I'm thinking about gluing this upper screw once for all (the one connecting the straight part to the boom contraption). Some stands do not have this strange screw connection (I guess is there for disassembly purposes), and I think it is for the best...
Other little minor issue, the boom arm is a bit wobbly, once the knob is tightened, there is still a little game on the arm. It's not a big concern, but if you are looking for professional studio equipment and/or going to record with a very sensitive mic, I would look (obviously) for a more solid stand. Overall, nice stand for rehearsal room/ amateur, intermediate recording applications.
