poor quality
Not a bad stand if you can find one that sits level. I've ordered three of these from Amazon, had to return two as defective. Disappointing. The last one to arrive had been opened and probably returned prior to it being sent to me. Amazon QC? Where is it?

Good Item, Less Than Good Customer Support
When I got the Roller Stand, it had a relatively minor defect. I contacted the company to get the info to fix it myself. They told me they didn't have the info, and to send it back. I figured out the fix (As I'm sure the company could have done.), and saved myself the hassle of returning the item. Too bad the company opted for the easy way out.

good price, but could be designed much better
The other reviews say pretty much everything, but here's my slant on it:
First of all, I have two of this particular model and one of another model I bought from harbor freight. The Jet stands don't have a knob to lock the legs in place to prevent it collapsing as you slide the longer boards in place. You can tighten the nut and accomplish this, but then you'll need your wrench to collapse it again. For most jobs, you can leave the pivot loose, but you'll get riled when you're balancing a 12 foot 2X8 and one of the stands folds up on you.
The point about the uneven legs is a good one. Even if the tool is made properly and sits solidly on a level surface, there are many times you'll need it where the surface is not level. This could be remedied by having the rubber pads on the feet so they were wider on one side and narrower on the other so that you could just turn and rotate the pad to make things level.
I had no quality problems with these rollers and they are indeed worth the small price.

A little sloppy
This stand will do the job, but it's going to be more trouble than it should. First, I found that the roller would barely turn. One of the ends of the metal bracket holding it was bent - I had to bend it out with vice-grips held in a bench vice. The bracket seems sturdy, so this should be a one-time fix. Next, I found that the stand won't sit level on the floor. One foot sits almost 1/8" off the ground, giving a big wobble. I'll have to cut or sand two of the other foot pads until it sits flat. They are not adjustable. The roller is quite out-of-round, too. I'm not sure if this will be enough to effect use of the stand or not. One last thing, more ironic than serious. The stand came wrapped in bubble wrap, but I immediately noticed that the wrap didn't extend between the folding legs. Sure enough, the weld holding on one of the foot pieces had scraped through the paint on the opposite leg. At least the bubble wrap protected the stand from the cardboard box :). After all that, I will say that the stand seems sturdy, folds compactly, and will probably work well once I get it to sit level.
Added: a couple of days later I received the second of two stands I had ordered. It sits level on the floor, so this one is much better than the first. Same paint scratch, and the roller is stiff due to a bent bracket, but not completely stuck like the first.
