OK - so I ordered 2 of these stands for part of an installation. I had been let down by a fabricator and this seemed to be the next best option with time running out. Te stands arrived individually boxed, with both boxes shipped together, wrapped in paper in a larger box.
The first problem is that the individually boxed stands hand zero padding and had therefore bashed into one another in the box leaving some cosmetic marks and scratches.
The 2nd issue arose when constructing the stands. On both stands there was lacking any way to secure the uprights... No thread where the top part slides into the bottom, yet the part to secure it is a hand-tightened bolt/screw...
This is a pretty major issue and the only way for me to use it in time was to drill extra holes in the stand, for new bolts and nuts which I fortunately had already. Aside from this, whilst putting them together I noticed numerous unfinished areas, oddly angled welds and slivers of metal than shouldn't have been present had these been made properly. In short - Not a great standard and I had to finish them myself which obviously voids any warranty. Typically good / swift postage from Thomann.
