It definitely has a few poorly cut parts and was a bit crooked from the poor welds but after a bit of tugging and pulling and bending it turns into a pretty sturdy piece of metal. I don't like that there are no holes in the sidebars, so the height regulation is basically the bolts pushing against the metal, but I've been playing for a few hours and it seems to be sturdy enough. Basically, it is what it is - a CHEAP wheelstand. Would I buy something better if I had the money - probably. Does this do the work for a beginner sim racer - definitely!
