The best value option
I am apparently quite hard on mic stands - this Superlux has been great, and stands my abuse where the cheap Millenium ones (and some K&M ones) don't. The friction clamp holds well, it holds my heavier tube mics easily and has the advantage of the extending leg. This stabilises the unit if you add more load to it. It extends well (vertically) and feels fairly well put together.
Pros:
Cheap
Stable
Sturdy
Cheap
Flexible
Cons:
None really, at this price point.
I have some better counter-weighted stands, but they are big and cumbersome. This, more often, is the stand I will use - live and when recording. I love well made products that are priced to be easily, and affordably replaced. Highly recommended for those exact reasons - it isn't the best stand ever made, but for the price and utility - this is a total winner.
In terms of what weight it can handle fairly happily (my heaviest mics):
ELA M251
Rode NTK
Barkley Infinity ribbon ;)

Versitale stand for afordable price
When I got this mic, I was surprised by the weight of the steel, since it feels nice and sturdy. I use this stand for recording songs, the handling is great, since I loaded two microphones in the head area. The stand holds well, the handle doesn't spin or drop, it holds in place.
The added support for wire is great for tidiness, the cables are not flapping around.
The unit comes assembled and ready to go. It's easy to set it up, and use it for both vocals or recording. When you're done, and compact it down, it won't take up, much of your precious studio size.
As of cons, I guess it's quite heavy, which really isn't a con, since it usually means, that the used metals are of greater quality. The plastic looks kinda flimsy, but it still holds together. The lower tripod of the stand can be quite unstable if you set it up improperly, so set it up, and test the balance. If you're a guitarist/vocalist, it's easy to trip this thing over.
When I bought this thing, I was afraid, that I couldn't use it as vocal mic stand (I'm a pretty tall guy, about 195cm/6"), but I can easily use it, and recommend this, to even taller musicians.

Great mic stand, does everything it should
No issues with this, does what it should. Looks good, works well and the price is excellent. Also features one extendable leg for supporting heavier mics or longer boom lengths- great idea.

Value for money - very good
A very good stand, even if it is sometimes hard to lock positions into place.
Overall, well worth the money for my studio.
If it was for a venue or for live use I would probably want to spend a little more, but for a set-and-forget stand it's perfect.

Works as expected
The stand works as expected. No problems detected or foreseen by now.
The extensible leg may be useful with very heavy mic, but we haven't needed it with our shure58, with the boom extended almost to its maximum.

Compared to similar priced stands, this one jumps out in terms of stability and quality. It's a great deal for the price.

King of price to performance.
These stands are very well built, and unlike many other affordable stands, such as the Millenium varieties, the mechanisms for securing the stand in various positions don't wear out over time. They hold a fair amount of weight, as long as you respect the laws of physics. The plastic parts also seem to be of a fairly high quality with a finish that feels more expensive than what you'd expect at this price point. Since I discovered these I haven't bothered with any other mic stands, at least of the standard three leg, boom arm variety, because they're just that solid.
