IMO you can't beat this K&M stand.

I have that stand: https://www.thomann.de/gb/km_42040.htm

I also have https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/tourtech-tts-mxa1-adjustable-stand-for-mixer-or-keyboard?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_content=lia&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4v2EBhCtARIsACan3nzEWITpVNxHVBTGW9ddxhSACyB53kDF9ZA4YHyOJbiD158K_bXn5y0aAphsEALw_wcB

But the one I normally use is https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Quiklok-DJ223-DJ-Performance-Workstation/1YT9?origin=product-ads&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4v2EBhCtARIsACan3nw85vTRxQSVJS5skT7rzipPwS2mlsh-My6mCoVa2ga31o3wI87wVRkaAjJLEALw_wcB

I've used all three fairly regularly for the last 10 years.

IME the K&M stand is wonderfully light and a very easy thing to transport and set up, but it verges on being flimsy and if the permanently-angled top isn't at the right angle for what you need, then it's a bit of a PITA. The knurled knobs aren't captive, which means that a clumsy bandmate would be able to unscrew one completely at a gig and lose it. Don't ask me how I know. These days, I use this stand primarily to take a https://www.djsupplies.co.uk/products/studiomaster12activefloormonitor to sit alongside the electric drumkit.

The G4M folding steel table is brilliant, every bit as strong as it looks, and provides great stability. On the other hand, it is heavy and takes up valuable floor space on stage. Our PA is a heavy 6U Gator case so the size, strength and stability are what we need. There's plenty of room underneath for my bass cab, plenty of room on top for my amp and other gubbins.

The TourTech unit rather falls between two stools and hardly ever gets taken to gigs these days, I mainly use it as a handy temporary table in the studio for recording sessions and such. I should also mention that the 'kick-out' of the four legs to stabilise it feels rather unconvincing. It's never actually fallen over, but I do wonder ...

I went with the K&M one in the end, unfortunately one of the strange things my ex Mrs demanded as part of the divorce was my welders and lathe….very odd bearing in mind she then weighed it all in 🤣🤣
