After using the LBG Heavy Duty Ground Stand for my mini split AC unit, I can confidently say it's a sturdy and reliable product... when you actually receive all the parts. The heavy-duty steel construction feels solid, and the powder coating has held up well against rain and sun over several months.
The adjustable height (4-12 inches) was perfect for my uneven backyard. It kept my unit safely above ground level during heavy rains - no more worrying about flooding damage! The rubber pads really do help with vibration reduction; my AC runs noticeably quieter now.
Assembly was straightforward when I had all components. The universal design fit my 18,000 BTU unit perfectly, and the 400lb capacity gave me peace of mind about stability.
However, be warned: quality control seems hit-or-miss. While mine arrived complete (lucky me!), many reviews report missing screws, clamps or rubber feet. This is unacceptable for a product that's supposed to support expensive HVAC equipment.
If you get a complete unit, it's fantastic - durable, functional, and does exactly what it promises. But until LBG fixes their packaging issues, buy from a retailer with easy returns just in case.
