Yup got one just like it. It's absolutely fine, does what a workstand should do.

I've just taken delivery of one. Easy to work, very light, and strong if a bit wobbly. Also folds away lovely. Can't believe it only cost £65.

Had one for a few years now. It's been fine. Can wobble a bit (feet could do with being at tad wider apart), but tiuy get used to it and compensate accordingly.

Very good for the money

mine has a lot of play in the top joint: worth spending a bit more imo. a decent one will last you for life.

Got one from Merlin a couple of years ago. Does a good job and doesn't make my back ache.

Can be a bit fiddly to get the clamp jaws the right size whilst holding the bike in the air. Open them enough to get the seat pillar in easily and they don't always hold the bike tight enough.

Might have changed the design a bit by now though.
