The worst quality control - two faulty stands
It seems as stable as a cheap lighting stand is ever going to be - enough for some LED lights.
And handling is easy enough, at least in theory...if it works...Quality control has let this product down.
There are safety pins which are meant to be slotted through the holes in the extending column. The pins did not fit the holes which is crazy. Where was the quality control? Don't they check such basic elements of the stand such as the size of a hole or a pin? This is a very basic requirement, as without the pins the stand would be unsafe and unusable.
Thomann have been very quick to offer a replacement which I'll accept, if only because I have used an identical stand before and thought it was okay for the job. So long as the pins fit!
So the stand gets a low mark from me, but Thomann get full marks for customer care.
UPDATE
The replacement stand arrived this morning. This time the crossbar mount is bent completely out of shape with a crack in the weld. As such the item is unsafe for use.
It appears that Millennium have extremely poor quality control, and I will not buy any of their products again, nor could I recommend them to anyone else.
I have lowered my star ratings accordingly.

Keep breaking down
The plastic holding the sliding tube keeps breaking. Had 3 of them in the last 3 years which broke down in the same exact place. I never put more than 3 lamps at a time. It breaks because of quality of plastic used. Thomann replaced the item each time at no cost. Thanks for that. But I will not recommend this model to anyone.

falls apart
This stand fell apart. Bought another and it also broke. They just aren't made very well. I think the little parts are just made cheaply. The screws fell off and the connections didnt fit.

BROKEN PLASTIC KNOB....REPLACEMENT BROKEN TOO! AVOID!
I bought this item, and it was well packed for shipping, but the plastic tightening knob was broken, and the cross bar was full of rusty scratches and damage all over...no broken bits in the bag so it was damaged before shipping. I reported to Thomann, who were very helpful and sent a replacement.... The replacement also had a broken knob too!! DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!!!!

Sadly, crap
So this stand arrived as a part of a light kit I bought and already when I was unpacking the stand, parts started falling out. Even though it was really well packed.
So I had to throw it away.
I've had the same experience with millenium speaker stands before, so I was prepared this would happen.
Will not buy this again.

Not worth buying
the only reason i had it is because it came in the lighting package i picked ,,, within a couple of shows it was literally falling apart . The part that holds the different segments came loose after 1 use . sitting in the shed gathering dust now.
