I have two platform stands like that. I still use my old Quik Lok 695 because it has a second tier which I use as a shelf for my iPad, etc. I When I've used the platform stand I use an old attachment called "the Toy Box" which is a shelf with deep edges and attaches to a mic stand. I like this attachment better.
The platform stands are very strong and stable but you need a bunge cord to hold the legs and top together in the folded position.
Any pics of the toy box?
