Generally worth to have it, but tends to be not very stable. Perhaps is the nature of the object. I find that if I play it with ankle movement is stable enough, but if I play it with leg movement tends to vibrate a bit too much. And I'm using a very good pedal. On the other hand is light and small to carry. It has 2 good spikes in front to keep it fixed to a carpet/rag. it would have been handy if it had another one in the middle. It has a good L holder which can be adjusted to various heights/positions to be used with both a cowbell or a block.
