No complaints, solid and sturdy. Works as expected.

How does one of the most important screw holes for securing the heigh adjustable plate to the mid layer only have 3 threads and strips upon a second use? Wasn't even yamming down on the tightening either :: really disappointed that it didn't hold up and need a remedy asap.
