How sturdy is this one? Since it has joints to fold for travel is it sturdy enough for everyday use at home?

I leave it in place and don't "tear down" every morning. It doesn't fold either. An elastic band stretches from the base thought the tubing up to the loop that holds the CPAP tubing. The pieces pull out from one another allowing you to fold side by side for easier storage or travel. Sturdy? Not really. It's thin tubing maybe aluminum but my first one lasted a couple years before breaking at the base. For the price, it's worth the comfort it provides stopping the CPAP tubing from wrapping around my throat when I rollover at night.

I had read previous reviews saying this item wasn't sturdy. I babied mine / was very careful packing it. The weld fell apart in under a year of daily use at home with occasional travel. Overall, I found it pretty poorly made. I recently replaced it with the Hose Buddy & Travel Hose Buddy Combo Pack - expensive, but I expect I will never need to replace it. The only negative is the travel version is fairly heavy due to it's sturdiness.

I have used it daily since receiving it. It travels well. I think it is worth more than what I paid for it.

I have used this hose stand for about 3 years ,we fold it down so it don't show when my wife makes up the bed each day , then backup each night . It works great ! I later ordered another one to keep in my carryon luggage so I wouldn't travel without one. I think it is well made and very lite . I think it was a good buy .

My brother uses his every day. It is made of enamelled steel and kind of reminds me of the old telescoping car antennas, but it is quite sturdy - after all, it's only holding a hose, and the telescoping makes it flexible enough to move enough to accomodate movements during sleep. And I use mine for travel (at home I can drape hose over headboard poster) and it has stood up quite nicely to the folding/unfolding. I have given these as gifts to 4 different persons, they all use the stand and have thanked me. I really do think it's a great device - I just wish it came in colors in addition to blue.... I think you'll be very happy you purchased one. My brother uses his every day.

The pole it's self is sturdy. Be careful with the base. I took a small board and drilled a hole to fit the pole in tight. It works great! I did this because there was no way to connect the pole to the base. The part for connection was not there.

yes it is extremely sturdy we have taken it inside due to bad weather and my daughter has used it for exercise.

Hi Marilyn, I got this for my mother who has bursitis in both hips plus a torn tendon in her foot. Needless to say, getting around the house is not easy ... let alone going out. So this walker has been a TREMENDOUS help for her. It's lightweight yet extremely sturdy, well-balanced and moves well over tile floor, linoleum and carpet. The walker folds down but it will never be flatter than the width measured from the front wheel to the end of the handle. I just measured the walker and it's 18 inches high when folded. We have a Toyota Camry with a medium-sized trunk. We recently went on a trip and the walker fit in just fine with luggage for 3 people. (By luggage I mean garment bags and a big duffel bag that fit around the walker. When I do take my Mom out we always bring the walker and it's great for shopping as she can put items in the compartment under the seat. If she does get tired she puts the brakes on and sits on the seat. We love it!

Yes it is very sturdy and absolutely great for a laundromat! It does not fold up, so if you have to transport it or use stairs, it would not work. If you can leave it where you do laundry it would work.

It is sturdy enough to put home printer. There is no wheel locking mechanism, however, the wheels are not "high quality" super smooth ones, weight of cabinet and its contents make it steady enough so it won't move easily.

I would think so. We just use it at home, but it seems sturdy and does fold up very small.

It is a little bulky since it doesn't fold, I believe the base is heavy, I dont recall the weight. For me- it would be too heavy/bulky for travel, but I try to travel lite. But it's great for tabletop!

I find it sturdy and stable. I use it all day at work and have no problem with it.

Sorry, been staying at my parents house and have not been at home. Yes, it does fold and can be transported, being female, I do find it a little heavy. Good luck Emilio

It's pretty sturdy. You can use a laptop with no worries. I wouldn't put 100 lbs on it, but it's not fragile

Nope, sorry. In all, not a great one for portability due to size and inability to fold. Love it at home

It is extremely easy to fold. The brackets on the side line up straight to lock it when in use. I just use my toes to put some bend back in and walk the handle forward to fold. It is sturdy and portable. It was a great purchase.

Hello Jarrad. I have traveled with it now for some months. It is fairly durable. It's a little bulky for my comfort and doesn't sit on my hips too well (5'3" 120 lbs) . But, should do the job fairly well.

It's pretty sturdy. I think you will be okay especially for a spare room. I don't think it would be good for excessively large people continues use though.

I do fold it after each use and lean it against the wall. It is a bit heavy, but I manage (I am a 50 yo 5'3" arthritic woman). I have bumped my knees with it a couple of times though. Unfolding is very easy. It isn't too bad if you are only carrying it a short distance.

Not really, my girls take it everywhere, and used it for the past 6 months. It my come apart at the joints, but it is easy to put it back together! Very happy with the purchase!

It is very sturdy and stable. I use it for a shoe-changing bench in my front hall. I've had it for about a year and it has held up very well.
