Query: Better than I first thought.

The dip stand took less than five minutes to assemble; it couldn't be easier. At first, I was put off by the looseness of the fittings, but I now understand that the stand was designed that way, in order to make it easier to break-down for storage and to reassemble when needed. When in use, the stand feels as sturdy as one would want. My one gripe is that the finish is a big poor. There's one spot where the paint hadn't been applied, and another where a good two-inch had been painted over. This is why I subtracted a point. Otherwise, I'm happy with this purchase.
