Bought this for a backdrop for indoor craft shows. Worked perfectly well! Arrived with a few small scratches on the feet pieces, but that doesn_ bother me since I have tables in front of it. I only extended to 8ft, and it held my blackout curtains fairly sturdily. Could see it being a bit weaker if extended to the full size. Definitely would need extra support or weights if using outside. Easy to assemble and take apart with one person. No issues with assembly, disassembly or parts stripping like mentioned in other reviews. Came with simple ikea-like instructions, and the carrying case that fits everything well. For me, no issues and very worth it for the money.
