I've had one of these for 10+ years, and have a couple others. I learned to be deliberate in opening them, closing them and clicking everything together. With that, I've never had an issue with my A-frames. My latest purchase was a donation to local NICA teams. Th FB A-Frame is tough enough to withstand weekend use at NICA races, and I wanted to make sure they had a durable option that would last for years. And on the slim chance that something does break, Feedback has a great customer service team to support and replacement parts on their website. Always a pleasure to use their products. I also see them at events, so super cool that Feedback supports in the community as well!
