Pretty damn sturdy. The base weighs ~20 lbs and has office-chair quality casters (they don't lock—but it's heavy enough I've not had trouble with it rolling away when I touch it, and they're smooth enough that I have no trouble rolling it around, even on carpet).

The height adjustment locks are ~4cm cylinders, so no twist or wobble. The metal tubing is a rounded rectangle in section, which also minimizes twisting. The locks compress this tube, with a 4cm paddle cam—easy for my arthritic fingers. The head/tray is backed with a semi-circular sphere, so I can rotate 360° in every direction—switching from portrait to landscape is super quick. I've typed on my mini screen keyboard no problem. The only drawback are the bungee cord hold-downs, which permit some slippage. The current version with clamps to hold the tablet in place, looks much better—I'm contemplating buying a new tray. The device is modular enough that I can do that.

There are assistive-tech specific ones, which are of course four times the price and non-returnable, which I haven't tried. Frankly, I wish all assistive tech had this high level build quality. Nice materials, nothing flimsy, clean machinery, any locking screws are designed to be turned with a coin, not requiring a tool.

It comes knocked down—I don't know if I could have put it together myself. another thanks to MyGuy.

I'm completely satisfied—and I would be if I'd spent three times the price. If you've got a specific position you need, I'd be happy to set that up and take pictures.
