The monitor stand is sturdy and worth the money. However, you do have to know a few things before buying.
First, the screws it comes with will probably not be long enough to secure your monitor. The M4 8mm screws were not long enough for my monitor. I replaced them with M4 12mm screws. Even then, the screws didn't fully go in the threaded inserts. So, I replaced the them one last time with M4 14mm screws.
The screws are not expensive. You can get four screws for under $4.
Second, the base of the stand has the shape of a short, rounded-tip pentagon. The rectangle section of the base measures about 8 inches wide and the rounded tip extends almost another 2 inches. The shape and width of the base were almost deal breakers for me. I needed a monitor stand not be more than 8 inches wide so it could properly sit on my desk. Nevertheless, I made it work; four points of the base comfortably sit on the desk and the fifth leans against a wall.
The main reason I gave the product 5 Stars is that it comfortably supports my curved 34" monitor that weights about 18lbs. Other free-standing monitor stands in the same price range would've not been able to support that weight.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a solid, no-frills monitor stand that can support heavier/larger monitors and are willing to do a bit of extra work, this is the stand for you.
One last thing, don't plan on turning your monitor vertically with this stand if it's larger than 30". Also, I had no issues connecting the base to the stand. Perhaps, others who had to deal with this issue were unlucky and simply received defective parts.
