This works great for the price. I have recently started a photo booth business and am on a budget so I was looking for a step and repeat that would be less of a trip hazard for my clients than a tripod type. Sometimes the screws get stuck but I don't mind and it's not enough of an issue for me to care. I have used it for about a dozen gigs and so far so good. I love that it is adjustable and easy to set up, it comes in about 6 pieces and once you put it together once you'll be able to put it together in a snap. It comes with a carrying case which I appreciate because I travel with it to my gigs. I have attached a photo of this at my photo booth gig. One of my backdrops is a pretty heavy sequin fabric and this holds it up just fine. If you are expecting this to be some perfect backdrop holding specimen, move on. If you're looking for something that works and is great for the price, buy it.
