I started buying Gibraltar parts last year when i was refurbishing a 50 year old drum kit. I am consistently impressed with the quality of their products. they are solid, secure, and beefy--not flimsy. And their prices are very reasonable.This bongo stand is no exception. Works great, is solid, doesn't slip, and adjusts enough that I can use it standing, sitting high (i.e. drafting chair) , or sitting low.
