Looks good
I have bought 5 of these trusses and use them as a single rail to hang some drape and lights. I wanted the 1m ones for flexibility building different sizes.
The trusses appearance is amazing, made from painted black light and rigid steel, easy to carry and give you piece of mind having them loaded with accessories. When trusses have been bolted together they feel like a single piece, no distortion, no twisting and no bending.
On a negative side I can say that assembly and dismantling of these trusses is very time consuming due to bolting and lock nuts. Also you need to carry additional tools and every time you dismantle make sure not to loose any nuts or washers. Painting job is not very good when you look closely, lot of debris under the paint and it easily scratches.
I was already thinking of upgrading my truss design to more complex frames but it seems that accessories for these trusses are very limited. I have to halt my imagination of building some big and nice structures with these trusses.
The bolts supplied to hang accessories have a square piece under the head which makes it easy to have the bolt in place while screwing the nut. Unfortunately the square piece is so high that the nut will tighten with it instead of the hanging fixture, thus ending with your lights swiveling around and not secure. You will have to change the bolts or get some big washers to do the trick.
Beside the negative things mentioned these trusses do well what I bought them for, so I cannot complain. I suggest them for simple trussing on low budget.
