Is this a heavy duty stand with metal tighteners? I recently purchased a kit from another company that is very flimsy. Thanks for the help!

In the world of duty, this stand has been in use for me most of this year with no problems. Like many worthwhile stands the "tighteners" as you call them are constructed with metal screws that screw into metal nuts, the knobs you turn the screws with are ABS plastic. I'm 6'2", 250 lbs and can apply a lot of force, but one must also use ones head to figure out when it's tight enough to do the job. Almost anything can be jammed or broken by an 800 pound gorilla. This does a fine job for me! Ravelli makes good gear at a good price.

Yes. The quality is outstanding. Just make sure they send you the correct stand as the Ravelli stand has another model which is cheaper quality.

This is a great kit I've used it for several shoots very high quality holds heavy muslin backdrops with no problem I've also used an 8' wide roll of seamless with no problems

Yeah it's definitely a good quality stand, I'd even say "heavy-duty". The "tighteners" are plastic though I think. Overall I was/am very satisfied with it.

Yes, the stand is seen in the picture but it's not very stable and I purchased a heavier one according to suggestions from other users.

I'd say 2 to 3 pounds per stand, they are all metal, worth it in my opinion

The stands are metal and reasonably sturdy. I've set mine up about a dozen times and they are still in great shape.

35lb sounds bit much for this stand. I would not recommend using it. This is designed to hold reciever and DvD players etc. It's better to call the company directly and ask them same question.

That's a pretty heavy bike, but I think the stand is heavy duty enough because it's all steel and all the weight is basically sitting on the bottom bracket. One thing you should know is it uses the little approximately 2" x 1" square opening I have seen kick stands mounted, and it has a T-bolt allows you to fasten the bike frame to stand just behind the bottom bracket. I hope that makes senseAlso, I would suggest drilling holes four legs and bolting the stand to four foot plywood square to stabilize it from tipping, etc. Hope this helps.

Yeah it's pretty strong. I use all kinds of different ones. It's a sturdy stand.

Thank you for your inquiry. The stand is lightweight aluminum. The knobs to tighten are plastic. Thank you and have a great day.

probably not - the cabinet construction is of a cheap press wood. My components are not as heavy as yours but after assessing the style of construction I elected to reinforce it. I expected long term sagging or failure. Otherwise the stand has a beautiful appearance and is an asset to the room.

Yes the stand is sturdy, but if you give the bike a good push it may pop out of the stand and down goes the bike. Would not trust this stand with young children

I would think so. This stand is sturdy and heavy duty . :) hope this helped.

I've found the legs to be more than sturdy enough for the maximum weight rating on the stand. They are metal in a U shape with one arm of the U extended for improved stability. 1/4 to 3/8th thick

Wing K is right about this being a very good stand but it might be asking it too much to hold +80 lbs. My 30 lbs MTB is very secure in it but it has slipped in it.

Yes, it's a good stand. It isn't professional grade but for an occasional fix or even for storing a bike it is great.

Yes this is how I use it most of time. Use the heavy-duty adjustment screws to lock it into any position you want. The stand works just great!

Hi, I bought this couple of months ago and I liked it... coming to the question of metal, it is not solid. it is hallow but good enough to hold the weight. Not like that would bend or get dented... hope this clarifies

Its good and sturdy. Similiar to portable lighting stands. I use a thick green screen canvas no problem with weight. Good luck, JEV
