This and several other lengths of truss are solid. I bought one to see if I liked its quality, and based on that, I designed and ordered a bunch of lengths to configure in an L-shape. These are not rated to bear much of a load ... I intended to hang only a few PAR-16 birdies and a couple flat LED PARs, so this was entirely fit for purpose, even if not rated for that. They look great, and they are priced to provide value for money.
