they look very cheesy. A pipe and a flat plate welded on each end. I'd rather build a bench out of wood or buy a table from the store or a garage sale
The stands I build are far from being "cheezy". Lol I build them with the intent of lag bolting them down to concrete or a heavy wood floor. There is absolutely zero rocking, flexing, or vibrating of the stand once it is bolted down securely, and the press is used. Just a rock-solid feel while pulling the handle and indexing. Once you use a progressive that is mounted with absolute rigidity like this, it's hard to go back to a bench mounted press. I've used bench mounted presses for years, and no matter how much weight I use as ballast on the bench, it doesn't equal the solid feel of a lag-bolted pedastal.
