solid heavy base, good size and right height for guitar or uke.

My first concern was the height

Great for micing a snare drum or as happens often in our case it is the perfect height for someone in the 3 to 4 foot tall range to use for vocals.

so that's a good height for how compact this stand can get as well

My only complaint would be the height of the stand

It's quite the perfect height for when I'm seated on my stool

Nice size and height for holding mic for acoustic guitar.
