Looks very very similar to the Aldi/Lidl stands. I've got a Lidl stand and it works fine, so for £30 it's definitely worth a punt.

Just be careful not to over tighten the clamps or you'll crack the plastic collars.

It's the same as the Lidl one. I have a small, part time bike repair business and this is the one I use. It's fine, and has had more work than most home mechanics will give it.

I have the version that mounts to a workbench and it has been fine.
Broke first one by overtightening but it was replaced for free.
Bit shaky with heavier mtb in it but fine with road bike and my 22lb hardtail

I've got the older model with non quick release clamps. I must of built 30+ bikes on it and for home use its absolutely fine .

I got my one like that from Lidle a couple of years ago, haven't used it a huge amount but its still ok and very handy.
