Most people say "good for the price" but I'll say, it's way too good for the price you pay, sturdy, heavy, with solid counterweight, thick tube walls, solid threads, good felt, will take heaviest of cymbals with ease, good finish, solid chrome everywhere, I would put it next to "top brands" with no shame at all, must buy, just get yourself some pvc tubing to avoid thread - cymbal contact, I more than happy to have 8 of them total, I highly recommend
