Mic stand: Solid, but be gentle. Expect 2 years if used often. And that's OK.

This is solid. Just DO NOT over-tighten anything. It will break eventually. Just tighten stuff enough to keep it in place. I play out fairly often, and these last about 2 years. Less than that - if anything is over-tightened. I always order then same kind - so I can use pieces from one on another.
