Anyone here use them or know if they are any good? I need some new light stands and these seem to be a really good deal, but I'm concerned about quality.
Thanks

I would say they are great for the price. Quaility is ok (you get what you pay for I guess) but it's only a light stand, it serves it's purpose.

Thanks I got an Amvona AS-014S returned today because the sectional backdrop pole is bending at the joints even without nothing hanging on it. The color is silver only. I have ordered another better one Photoflex.
