Sciencent Retort Stand Premium Support Stand Rod 20" Acid Resistant, 8" Length x 5" Width Base Size

Sturdy to do what I need to with it. After a month, the metal shaft started to vibrate when in used with a withe a drill/ mixer

Not the heaviest base, but works well

This was exactly what we needed for our 8th &9th grade science lab. Worked perfectly!

Shipping was prompt and the product was a described, so far it is functioning as desired.

Perfect for run of the mill science experiments and catalyst experiments!

the 2 piece rod screws together at an angle and it was rusty even though stainless steel. Returned it for a refund.

Simple and steady

Buying this item was not a wise choice on my part.The top photograph on the listing is of a completely different stand, not the one I received. This is bordering on dishonest.The base is pressed out of mild steel and the only reason it does'nt have dangerous sharp edges is that it has a thick layer of blue enamel paint. The base is too light. The rod which screws into the base comes in two parts which don't screw together too well so the rod has a kink in the middle.If you tighten the rod into the base with a reasonable amount of force then it strips the threads of the threaded hole through the thin steel sheet which is supposed to secure the rod.The feet are rubber U section edging strip which has been cut into short lengths and secured with superglue. On the stand which I received the feet had become hard and cracked and one of them had fallen off. But before sending it to me the seller had repaired the broken foot with Selotape ! This repair had already turned into a sticky mess.The rod had a hole drilled through it in order to tighten it into the base but instead of supplying a proper tommy bar the seller had supplied a nail !Having such a lightweight base it is doubtful this item could be classified as being 'fit for purpose' but it definately cannot be described as being 'of merchantable quality'.If it were possible to award a negative number of stars then I would but as it is I can only give it the minimum possible rating.Avoid.

The base is too light (the main photograph gives the impression that it is much more substantial); the rod comes in two parts that screw together - but the resulting rod isn't straight; the "loose and small grip lever" to tighten the rod to the base is a nail! If this is the "premium" model, I wonder what the "standard" model would be like.

An absolute pile of rubbish. I would send it back if I could be bothered . Straight in the bin.

Going straight back, worst quality retort stand I have ever come across.Rod screws into thin base with no securing nut. This leaves the rod very wobbly - not sure it would survive more than a couple of uses.

Not the easiest to put the upright together
