Yes 5 stars ... I purchased this along with Cowboy Studio's backdrop kit. I needed a quick solution and professional results.This kit is not what one would consider professional grade, however it will get the job done. The stands are constructed of light metal and held together with composite fasteners. I suggest being gentle and do not over tighten the fasteners. The umbrellas - eh, they work. It took me 5 minutes to set these lights up and I was good to go. Storage bags are a nice accessory.Proof is in the pudding ... Pictures posted are the real behind the scenes live from my livingroom. Perfect for student photographers or for a home studio. This product may not do well traveling as I suspect repeated assembly/disassembly will take its toll. 5 stars for value - 50 bucks! Can't shake a stick at this one!

Really a fan of Marshall products. Truly, as a hard rock fan I am satisfied with the sound of the guitars. The bass quality should be improved.
