Great stands with some drawbacks
I want to preface this by saying that I believe in the buy it for life philosophy, since buying cheap gear has burned me many times in the past. I chose the Gravity desk stands over the cheaper millenium and fun generation stands which are basically half the price.
These stands are sturdy and have a good heft to them. Where the stem connects to the base is just metal on metal which is not the best solution imho. The knobs and adjustments feel ok, but there is some play in the top plate after tightening. This isn't an issue once you put your speakers/moniters on them, but it's kind of weird to see. To swivel the stands you have to take your speakers off because otherwise they'll drop down if you try to untighten the adjustment knob. I feel like they could've done this better by adding a rotating plate (on bearings) that adjusted separately from the main adjustment.
There's a thin piece of memory foam on the top plate and despite the stands taking away a lot of vibrations, they still allowed a lot to reach my desk. Use some foam speaker stands on top and some cheap cork coasters (2euro at Woolworth) on the feet and your vibration woes are completely gone.
On my initial order one of the stands was broken, it took a lot of force to tighten the main knob and it still wouldn't hold my 5kg monitors up properly. Luckily Thomann quickly exchanged it and the replacement was working properly. Still, for a German made product which prides itself on craftsmanship these are silly things to let through and should've easily been caught in QC. Still, compared to the other adjustable stands this is definitely the way to go.

Perfect quality
They do exactly what they're supposed to do, and have adjustment possibilities to suit just about any need. Bought 2 of these and haven't looked back. Using KRK Rockit 5 with them.

Best Choice
It is a bit bulky but it is very steady and the options on tilt are good for any table top setup.
very accurate on setting the speaker on.

Powerfull stands
I bought these stands alongside Yamaha HS7w studio monitors, and so far they have been a perfect fit and have really good build quality.
Great stability, flexibility and ease of use to set them up, handles are great and nothing feels quirky or unstable. I wanted something safe and sturdy because my 3 year old daughter is always running and climbing around the table and stuff, and these have proven rock solid after a few months of use.
Aesthetically they also look great, really tie the room together! :P

Best Monitor Stand!
I use 2 of these to mount a pair of Adam T8V monitors at my home studio.
The stand is very stable and solid while providing a lot of
room to adjust everything you want
*Variable height adjustment
*Tilt +/- 15 degrees
*360 degrees rotatable
In addition it has EVA padded bearing surface and Anti-tip for the speaker
Recommended ;)

Great Quality Stands
I have several Gravity products in my studio and am very pleased with them so it was no leap of faith to purchase these. As expected, nice intelligent design and well built. Very pleased with them and with Thomann's always excellent service.
