EMART8 x 8ft (W x H) Adjustable Photo Backdrop Banner Stand with Telescopic Tubes, Suitable for Trade Shows, Professional Photography Booths, and Step and Repeat Background Displays

EDIT: I used oil on a napkin to put between the telescope screws. And then I found I have large enough pliers to help me unscrew it. It worked. Nothing is broken. Also on the bright side: this is way lighter than a screen divider, and I love that I can push it easily. I did add some sturdy floor sliders underneath the legs.original review:I was able to put together the frame with relative ease. During the past month, everything went smoothly. I do have a minor wish, though – it would be great if the background fabric could be more conveniently fitted around the frame's edges. I attempted to increase the frame's size, but unfortunately, one of the expansion screws became misaligned and is now stuck. While the rest of the screws are easily adjustable, I'm currently limited to widening the frame, not raising its height. This situation has left me feeling quite disappointed. Similar to numerous others, I found that the frame's functionality was short-lived. I doubt this frame would hold up for more than two or three setups, especially for those who need to repeatedly assemble and disassemble it from scratch.

great price and easy to assemble , works perfect for what we needed

Bought this for our small business's farmers markets to hang our banner and some "danglers" arrived clearly used and damaged, but still functional. Contacted the manufacturer just for a single piece, and they replaced it with minimal effort. A++

I was so excited about this step-and-repeat scaffold after seeing the great reviews including pics. I brought it to my non-profit's gala, and began to set it up. Looked nice and things started off great. One of the screws was too thick, though, so I could only secure 3 of 4 corners. I enlisted a bunch of folks to help me, and eventually we tried moving the different screws around figuring maybe one was different? but they were not, so we used a lot of tape and some weights to get it to stand for a few hours for our event. The top horizontal bar dipped in the middle - the background was not very heavy! - and then, when it came time to break it down, multiple pieces were nearly impossible to unscrew - and one of them would not unscrew and I had to drive home with it sticking out the window. I'm also annoyed because I offered to show Amazon photos / videos so I wouldn't have to mail it back (why am I mailing back a broken item?!) but they insisted, so now I have to find a huge box... just a totally unnecessarily annoying experience. Buy a different one. I'm going to!

Very light weight, but a little flimsy. In hindsight I would pay a little more for a more "professional" level piece. That being said I probably got what I paid for.

Great purchase! Was easy to assemble and worked perfectly!

I was only able to get two setups out of it before I had to throw it away. The reason is because screws got stuck and became misaligned so much so that it isn't sturdy and falls. Disappointed with how short-lived this product was and now I need to find another.1/26/24: seller reached out to provide full refund and i really appreciate that, so adding a couple more stars for great customer service.

Setup is easy and the stand is sturdy enough for my needs. It also works well in the limited space I have in my studio. It sits closer to the wall than a stand with tripod legs. It’s also easy to move to another room without taking it apart when I need a larger space to shoot.
