Two of the three stands in this kit have bent/dented support legs.  They still function well, but should be cnosidered damaged.  Although these 3 light stands show heavy cosmetic scratches and wear, they are in good working condition.  They raise to a height of 8 feet. 3 stands per kit.  They are sturdy aluminum and comes with a zippered carrying bag with strap.  The bag, however, does have two holes torn in either end of it.
