A nice double bass stand
Looks very minimal and blends well in the interiors in comparison with more "gig-oriented" stands. Made from metal all around, doesn't take too much space and is a bit flexible, which works to prevent the bass from tipping.
Mine was damaged on arrival, but Thomann gave a discount for it, which should cover repair costs.

If I had a car..
This stand was purchased out of my great experiences with other Hercules products: music stands and bass guitar stands, namely. My modest double bass sits proudly on it, and it can be folded to be less obstructive whilst the bass is in use. The little hook for bows is practical and can fit two comfortably. Three for handling as it can be a little tough to fold, as it used little metal pushbuttons (which I only discovered after having owned the product for quite some time, they're easy to miss) and when your bass is in one hand, bow in the other, you're wired up on coffee and there are papers and books strewn across your floor it has led to some degree of frustration. I can't imagine I'm the only one who throws a temper at little things like fiddly buttons.
That said, the build quality seems solid, and while I'm sure there's a way to break it, you certainly won't through regular use. It's stability is good and should you have an empty corner in your room (I certainly don't) it would sit tidily flush against the wall.
Any issue I could see with it would be the comparative thinness of the rear 'legs', and I've wondered if my incompetence might cause these to buckle at some point while folding it. Not heavy but still not really portable enough for me to bring it along as I walk everywhere with my bass.
