Perfect for how I intend to use this -- taking photos of clothes I'm selling. The product was easy to assemble and the item was what I had expected from the item description, customer reviews, and images.  It's a foam core with non-slip fabric cover along with a metal and plastic stand. While it's not a heavy item, it is surprisingly sturdy at the base/tripod. (Just be careful adjusting the height and when lifting the stand to move.) In terms of quality, this was what I had expected based on customer reviews and images...good quality for the price. The only thing I don't like about the item is the metal rod doesn't actually attach/secure to the stand -- instead, it sits in the stand. This is something I have to remember to be careful about if moving the item or trying to adjust the height.
