Feature:
Needed a "one-hand clutch", it's a valuable feature, as I need to adjust the height throughout the gig. The one on this stand, however, is not of pro-quality, and I doubt it will work for long, plus it was sticky right out of the box, not a good sign.

Quality:
Shoddy, too light, and the base was not stable, nor sit evenly on the floor....

Value:
Not worth getting, except for a home user, wanting to save a few dollars....

Ease of Use:
For a one-hand clutch, it was not easy. Have to twist & lock it, each time you move it. And the lack of smoothness didn't help.

Overall:
Sounded good, built poorly, not professional quality. I'm returning mine pronto....
