I purchased this stand to replace my old one when I replaced my water heater. It was easy to assemble and very sturdy. Although it's not the cheapest option, it's well-made with quality materials and provides good value for my money. I trust HoldRite as a brand and have used their products in the past, so I knew the quality would be up to my standards. Additionally, the edges of the stand are relatively safe from a sharp-edge perspective, which is definitely a plus.
