This stand is a beast and a lot more robust than what is advertised. There are some plastic parts but overall very sturdy and well built. I seemed to have received a larger model as well which fit my 17" laptop that I was not expecting. The platform is actually 16"x11" and not 12.4"x11". There is also a pin chained to pole to secure the position.

The stands are quite sturdy. I use them to hold a laptop beside my music station, but they can hold far more than that

Streamline and Sturdy
