I frequently order from Amazon. In fact, I order items so often that - once the boxes get delivered - I often don’t even remember what’s inside of them. You might imagine my surprise when I attempted to bring this item inside my home. “What did you spend your money on?!”, you (or Dave Ramsey) might ask. I asked myself a similar question. But after summoning the strength of a thousand men, I successfully carried this item into my domicile.I can confirm that this item is heavy duty, as its name implies. The heavy duty construction was so apparent that my father - whose first language is Spanish - remarked “Mijo, that’s heavy duty!” I scarcely have received such a compliment for myself.With that being said, this is an extremely great item and I trust it with my skeleton wholeheartedly. I’ll let you determine if I mean my skeleton or my skeleton. In fact, I strongly suspect that this stand will outlive me and multiple generations to come.Some say that the pen is mightier than the sword. That may be true - but the pen is most certainly not mightier than the EISCO heavy duty skeleton stand base. I fully entrust this product with my skeleton model. And you should too. If anyone can find a sturdier stand, then I would like to see it!
