How sturdy is this? The joints look like they are plastic.

it is surprisingly sturdy. My mother uses it frequently for her Kindle DX, which is the 10" version, very similar to an ipad.

It's really sturdy enough -- in fact the main body is good grade aluminum tubes which slide into each other, extending and retracting as needed. The plastic "joints" are simply sleeves that lock the tubes at the correct height. The shelf that actually holds the tablet is secure (although it could be better designed to make it easier to get the tablet in. But not really a problem.) Bottom line: it's probably the best and strongest floor stand now available.

It is but it is very sturdy. I adjust mine on a regular bases and it has been great. Best buy I have made.

It is very sturdy, yes, the joints do have some plastic on them, but not cheap plastic. It does have weight to it, which I am grateful for, as I wheel it from room to room sometimes. Great for lying down and reading either on bed or couch, also sitting in chair and having at my fingertips. Pricey, but for me it was certainly worth it.

It's plastic but it's very sturdy plastic. The overall effect is not cheap, IMO. GB

Yes it is plastic but it seems pretty beefy. I've only had mine for a month now and it seems fine so far.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

The plastic is hard and sturdy. No problems with the unit breaking or falling apart.

I think it is plastic, and I am looking at it right now. It is a good quality and design so that it really looks like wood. I hope this is helpful.

Yes it seems pretty sturdy. You do have to occasionally check the bolts to make sure they are tight.

It does look like metal, but it is a very strong plastic...and very durable. It looks great.

They seem sturdy from what I can tell. I'd still recommend not stepping on them or putting pressure on them, as it is somewhat flat and "disc" shaped, so it could potentially break pretty easy in that regard.

I haven't had any problems with it yet. It feels sturdy but it is mostly made of plastic along with the stand that it comes with.

It certainly appears to be. It's very sturdy and there are no apparent plastic parts visible.

The joints are very sturdy. Holds nicely. Safely holds groceries, other things.

Yes it's sturdy. And mine wasn't broken and was well packaged. I have used my several times.

Honestly, I can't tell. It doesn't look like plastic though. We've enjoyed it, it is very nice.

The legs are made of metal (aluminum alloy), the joints themselves appear to be made out of a hard plastic.
