If you can get it for that price I would say do it quick as that is real gloat. It is a good stand and as already stated it is very steady. It does not have a tool tray, but if you need/want one you can buy the Topeak one as the two stands likely are coming out of the same Taiwan factory and are indistinguishable from one another.

I use mine regularly and there are a few minor nits that irritate me - setting the height sometimes is challenging as the arm wants to slide back down while I am fussing with the clamp. The lack of a QR is sometimes annoying when you have to hold a heavy bike up with one hand while using the other to spin down on the clamp. And watch out when you are taking it down because it can - and it has for me - snap your hand quite painfully.

I do like it despite these quibbles however and am happy with it overall ...
