AkTop 10 x 8 ft Heavy Duty Backdrop Banner Stand Kit, Adjustable Photography Step and Repeat Stand for Parties, Portable Trade Show Photo Booth Background with Carrying Bag

I had bought the cheaper lighter weight version of this and it was not sturdy at all. It broke after 2 uses. This version is heavier, but seems much better made. I haven't used it yet, but just from the quality and thickness of the poles, I know it will work much better.

This stand is very well made and can hold heavier banners. It’s easy to set up and comes with a convenient storage bag, for easy storage. It fits a wide variety of sizes and its functionality is terrific.

Nice quality and sturdy when extended. Definitely a keeper

I bought this to use as a backdrop for a family party. It was a hassle to put together because the clips to secure the poles kept getting stuck inside the metal poles so we had to disassemble over and over until we finally got it to lock in—by the time we assembled it the black paint was rubbing off all over our hands and black paint chipped all over the floor. The fully assembled item then fell over twice during the time we used it indoors. Had to return the item as it is simple made with poor quality materials and was not sturdy.

I like it , but it is a bit flimsy with out weights.

Exactly what I needed for my banner, easy to assemble and take down.

Easy to assemble

Hesitated for a long time on buying this because of a few reviews claiming not sturdy. This unit is as sturdy as my older (large footprint) backdrop stand. The first assembly is always a little tricky because you don’t know how everything fits together and mounts, but it still went up easier than my older backdrop stand and is VERY PORTABLE once its up. I was able to pick it up and carry it from living room to office/studio. This unit is also VERY EASY TO ADJUST AND TRANSPORT AS A WHOLE UNIT as you don’t have to remove the parts. All parts are assembled with grips that tighten and loosen to adjust size for width and height. The metal/aluminum? Rods are not as wide as my older unit, (Square Perfect $39) but are heavier much stronger.I do equipment reviews and demos for music equipment deberney.com and needed something I could use larger 10x8 for guitar lessons as well as something easy to adjust for propping behind desk chair. This is perfect for me. The smallest is maybe 5’x5’ and largest is 10x8? The width is 10’ the height is 8’which is something else I was concerned with. I needed more width then height. You can’t go wrong with this especially for the price. Now if your wanting something for the kids to use as monkey bars this is not for you. I’ve got 2 green screens on mine and I don’t feel the need for sandbags.
