Thanks! Maybe I’ll reconsider these things, can’t beat $600 for the entire ensembleI don't have them anymore, had to sell of to move. The first one I had for a couple years. The key with the stand is dryness. Keeping it as dry as possible. They are partical board. So any spot that is dented, scratched I would paint with a sealer type paint so water can't get to the board itself. Not sure if it's still the case but they have a lifetime warranty so if you ever see a spot starting to blow out due to water absorbing you can get a new one. Yes not fun to swap out a stand but warranty none the less.
As far as being able to hold the weight they seem fine to me, not exactly lite need two people to move them at the minimum. I have heard of people reinforcing the stand with two by fours. But again you probably have to open of the boards to do so and causing more of a chance to get water penatration.
