You get what you pay for
This is (at the time of sale) the cheapest bongo stand on Thomann. It shows. It's a bit rackety but if you tighten everything well, the bongos won't go anywhere (especially if you use the memory lock on the stand).
A word of caution though - do not tighten the bongo clamp too hard, as the screw will go through the padding and scratch the finish of your bongos without you noticing. It happened to me at least.
In summary: Nice and cheap, it does its job, but the quality is not top notch. Good for the percussionist on a budget

High quality bongostand
This stand is ferm and very steady when using the bongo's. The price/quality ratio is just superb. I really can recommend this stand. You won't regret it when you would buy this one.

Sturdy.
Quality stand for my bongos. No problems in stability, and as I'm 2 meters tall, the height adjustment is more than adequate.

Could be better
Over all the stand is built well but the clamp that screws in to hold the bongos in place is bad quality. The adhesive caused the rubber grip to fall off after 2 gigs..

Good value but a little clunky to use
Can be a faf to set up and not very stable but for the price its a good product. Too high to set up if you are a sitting player - on a cajon for example.

Not as sturdy as I thought it would be. The bongos loosen up when playing, no matter how tight you have the wing nut. Not suitable if your playing while seated.

Does the job
Not a bad bongo stand. The brace is the best feature, if slightly awkward to take on and off. But it does hold the bongos fairly securely. The pad that pushes against the center of the bongos does break off a little easily, but the point that's left will still hold the drums in place, as long as you don't mind boring a small hole into the center.

Bongo stand.
Go budget and the quality reflects it. From taking these out of the box I was disappointed with the workmanship (badly drilled threads). The bar which braces the underside of the bongos was ill fitting and was soon lost as I found the bongos to be more stable without it. The chrome finish as long since tarnished and rusted in the damp cold Scottish climate. Little screws eventually loosened and were also lost meaning I've had to make repairs to keep it working secure. The base is firm though with its double braced legs and will hold strong and the felted plate which secures the bongos in place has endured and has at no point damaged the instrument. This all having been said, despite its short comings, I still use it.

Decent stand
Decent bongo stand. Holds the bongos in place.
There can often be some movement in the bongos while playing. The tightening bar does not have thick enough felt on it, as tightening it to the required tension to stop any movement while playing can result in damage to the bongos attachment bar.
I use these with cheap bongos with my kit for flavour when doing latin/samba styles (etc) so it does its job, but if buying again, I would put more money into getting something of better quality.
With cheap bongos its fine, but for my more expensive set, I would not (and do not) use this stand.

Broken after some months
Two legs broke at the junction with the tube after some month, without even mishandle it.
The bongo fixation is okay.
