how stable is the stand when close to its full extension? I previously had a cheap harbor freight version and it wobbles all over the place

Very stable, locks solidly in place with large pin, no complaints about this thing except wish it were 6" taller

I routinely extend the jack near max but set the trailer tongue onto a cinder block to take pressure off of the jack. I have not noticed it to be anything but solid.

Fairly stable at full extension, but as I said in my review, it doesn't go up quite as high as my last Fulton trailer jack that I replaced.

this is the best jack made, however moving a boat with the jack fully extended should alway be avoided when possible. i do on occation move it a few inches to clear the ball because im too lazy to move the vehicle but it works well for me. my boat is quite heavy. its fiberglass 21 footer with a 250 hp yamaha. i have used it one or two seasons now and i had the same brand before that lasted 10 years. im at the lake fishing every weekend and i take my boat in and out each day that i fish so it gets heavy use. i would recommend this jack highly based on my past experience with this same jack and manufactorer. this is the best jack made, however moving a boat with the jack fully extended should alway be avoided when possible. i do on occation move it a few inches to clear the ball because im too lazy to move the vehicle but it works well for me. my boat is quite heavy. its fiberglass 21 footer with a 250 hp yamaha. i have used it one or two seasons now and i had the same brand before that lasted 10 years. im at the lake fishing every weekend and i take my boat in and out each day that i fish so it gets heavy use. i would recommend this jack highly based on my past experience with this same jack... » Read More this is the best jack made, however moving a boat with the jack fully extended should alway be avoided when possible. i do on occation move it a few inches to clear the ball because im too lazy to move the vehicle but it works well for me. my boat is quite heavy. its fiberglass 21 footer with a 250 hp yamaha. i have used it one or two seasons now and i had the same brand before that lasted 10 years. im at the lake fishing every weekend and i take my boat in and out each day that i fish so it gets heavy use. i would recommend this jack highly based on my past experience with this same jack and manufactorer. « Show Less

Not wobbly at all. I love this product. Shelves are sturdy. It's a snap to put together. I bought foam and make this my jewelry dresser.

I have not had any stability issues with it at all and I use it a lot. It's a good buy....worth the money.

My wife tells me no, it's not stable. It does not let it rest up against the bottom so it's wobbly.

It wobbles because all of the screws aren't as tight as they can be. I had to Tacky glue, lightly, the screw cover pegs. Just don't glue them before you've tightened ALL of the screws.

I've had mine for about 3 months now and I haven't seen any wobble even when I'm typing a little harder than normal (frustration does that to you). I tend to lean on my mouse hand a little and haven't noticed any issues. The fold out wing doesn't sag and the table itself doesn't get off balance even when I lean a little hard on the mouse side with no weight on the other side for counter balance. It's very sturdy.

This stand is very sturdy, stability isn't an issue, in fact the heavier the keyboard the more stable it should be. I haven't noticed any shaking and I do usually pound away (I'm more concerned with the keyboard being able to take it) but since you asked, I can get the stand to wobble left and right a bit if I push and deliberately try to get it to sway laterally but it has absolutely no movement up and down or front to back no matter how much force I use. It takes deliberate effort to make it move sideways, not something you would normally do, you could beat this stand with a sledgehammer and it wouldn't shake, I don't think you should have any concerns.

Don, I'VE used this stand to hold 8foot long, 6X6 pressure treated pieces, using a Dewalt Sawzall. It wobbles, but the table vise hold the material. My vexation with the piece is that it was annoying to assemble, it wants to flop out and unfold when you carry it. And, it is not nearly as stable as the earlier models. It is a cheap price for a below average piece. Dave

In an otherwise fantastic HDTV, this is the little weakness. The stand does wobble if you, well, wobble it. But once it's set up there's no reason to mess with it. It seems secure nonetheless. If you need to move it, pick it up by the set itself (two people, of course). Just my opinion.

it was very wobbly for me but I fixed it by taking a drill to it and making it really tight. Now it doesn't wobble at all.

It is not as stable as a commercial unit but moves relatively evenly. I've been using mine for over two years and as I've gotten stronger it has remained the same.

Mine is nice and firm. No adjusting needed. Just move the stand to any angle you want

I don't have the specs laying around anymore, but I can tell you that I'm a solid 6'5" 275 lb man and I've been on this stand with my wife (165 lbs) and my oldest son, which weighs about the same as my wife. Suffice to say I have never felt unsafe in this stand at all. It is very stable.

The collar that connects the seat to the stand is long enough that you can either tighten the wing nut so it doesn't swivel, or just barely loosen it and allow it to swivel while still being sturdy. I let it swivel and so far, I haven't noticed any wobble but it is resting in a plastic collar, so I expect it will in time.

I haven't had a problem. Realize that any stand has to have a large enough base to be stable.

yes. thats how i did mine. I have 2 as of now and its pretty stable. flimsy but i can work around it. follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
