I purchased this because I wanted a cheap stand that didn’t cost too much. I picked this one up for $40 on sale. I opened the box and found the instruction manual, and almost immediately returned it. The paper instructions are absolutely terrible and left me frustrated. Thankfully, someone made a very helpful straightforward YouTube video and I had it put together in 10 minutes. I am disappointed that there is a piece that is not welded together, but this does not matter too much as it is held to the lower platform with a screw so I likely won’t return/exchange it. Other than that, the build quality is pretty decent. Does have some wobble but when your foot is on the pedal it doesn’t matter too much. The metal is very strong. I can’t really bend anything by hand. Overall, very strong and heavy. Everything bolts together well and is very comfortable to use. For a cheap $40 stand, I am impressed.
