The welds could have been better to prevent the break, but still a poor design.

Poor quality, sloppy welds, retaining washer easily pulled out on one of the stands breaking all the tack welds to keep it in place

I was purturbed about previous reviews about bad welds on the base, but they seem to have resolved the issue, or perhaps i just happened to get good ones, but they do seem very steady.

There is not really a perfect fix for this unless you grind the tack weld and reweld it level

These stands are nice and sturdy, the welds on the triangular feet seem steady

Cheap and basic design, very crude weld
