Alein Bees and Impact make some very good, inexpensive background light stands.

i bought mine from here

It's very sturdy and in my opinion it's worth the money

As a matter of interest if you're looking for a wall mounted option try this guy

I've just bought a set (have'nt used them yet)
and they seem really good for the money, very sturdy. They seem to be the same as the Manfrotto system but at a fraction of the cost.

Hope this helps:)
