If you need to add more weight then the stand is designed to hold, then add more counter weight or get a heavier table stand. There's no excuse for overloading one's gear.
I worked thirty years in the construction trades and I'm use to putting gear through it's paces to tear broken things out that are made of big timbers, pipe and steel, and put them back together again with power saws/drills and big heavy hammers; Milwaukee, Skill, Ridgid and Stanley tools. The point, I know how to use gear to it's max and after many years of use, not break them. The point, if anybody tells you this is a fragile piece of gear, it's because they're abusing the gear beyond what it was designed to do; at a reasonable price, hold a microphone in a static position and then be moved again.
When using this stand, if the mic is falling over, it's because it's being over extended, over weighted, poorly cabled, not leveled or the legs of the stand are improperly positions; one leg should face away from the weight load in the direction of the tilt. The mic stand is not falling over because it's not stable, the base is too light or it's poorly designed. If parts are breaking it's because the parts are being overtightened beyond what they were designed for. A little bit of common sense regarding not abusing your tools goes a long way in extending their usefulness. People who break their tools and then blame the tools, tick me off. And yes, we all have experienced products that broke the moment we plugged them in for normal use. That's what a warranty is for.
I don't care what the other reviewers have to say about this mic stand. It's a beautiful piece of gear, that's well designed and will give it's owner many years of service. Eventually, one day, years down the road, the parts will get old, brittle and break but don't we all. Based on personal experience with lots of tools, used under extreme conditions (heat, cold, dark, rain and under houses), I expect this piece of gear to last many years of regular use and then if it breaks, without complaint I'll say; I got many years of use out of it as I only paid $27.00 for the stand and that included delivery. The point, for a well constructed mic stand, this is a great price. You'll be hard pressed to find a better product at any price and yes, I've looked.
I do have one niggle and that's the hand-twist action at the center of the stand to tighten the center clamp of the main support. It's a bit flaky as to tightening but with patience, it locks things down just fine. This niggle is not a reason to take this item off a list of possible choices or an excuse to knock a star off a possible five star rating.
If one is expecting a table top mic stand they can throw around the stage in anger to impress everybody (Oooo, he's scary) with their lack of personal self-control, get an all metal stand who's clamps are made of steel or get a different profession where, due to their lack of self-control, won't be able to break things. If one is going show self-control and respect their gear, expectedly, this mic stand will last many years and like most well used items, eventually die a gentle, quiet, well deserved death.
I love this stand because it's well made, is good looking, has lots of well placed adjustments to make it very functional and delivered, is well priced.
Hope the above review helps.
Edit: I came back to say AGAIN how awesome this stand is. I'm buying more. The boom is SO much better than I was expecting. The product pictures don't show it, but there is very slip-resistant padding on the bottom. It won't damage wood floors and it won't slide off if the floor happens to be sloped.
I'm more enthusiastic about the quality of this boom stand than some other reviewers, but probably because I've worked with so many different stands, and have learned any booms in this price range (regular size or mini) have limitations. But these can be worked around. As with all booms having a 3-point base, you must align the boom arm with one of the legs in the base if you hope to extend the boom to its full length and maintain any reasonable stability. None of the booms I've worked with (at this end of the price spectrum) come with a counterweight which can overcome full length extension with a decent mic at the end. This one performed similarly with an average weight mic (SM58/SM57/CAD C195). The boom attachment is metal and uses two rubber wafers to secure the boom angle much like other booms in this price range. The boom arm is telescoping with with the thinner tube giving the longer extension length. This allows you to mainly extend the smaller tube and keep the larger tube back to help with counterbalance. Overall, it's great for getting a mic into tight spaces without taking up a lot of real estate, especially for $30. The adjustments were all firm, and I never needed to overtighten to keep things in place. I can see the need for extra tightening if you fully extend the boom arm, but this is the case with virtually any boom stand.
I recorded several measurements below. To help understand the references, the main pole is the vertical post which goes from the base up to the boom arm "T" attachment. This pole is adjustable with the twist lock used on most mic stands. The boom arm uses a 2 stage telescope. There is a larger diameter tube which contains the smaller, telescoping tube. Each tube can be extended independently. I apologize for the elementary nature of this description for those experienced in this area, but I want the measurements to be clear for anyone unfamiliar with the various boom stand configurations. Here are the numbers:
Base diameter - approx 11 inches (legs extend out approx 5 inches from main pole)
I didn't weigh the base, but it feels like the standard iron material used on heavier bases.
Height range (floor to top of boom "T") - 16 inches min to 21.25 inches max
Total vertical height with both main pole and boom fully extended - 43.5 inches max
Distance from main pole to end of boom, large boom pole extended only - 10.5 inches max
Distance from main pole to end of boom, small boom pole extended only - 17.25 inches max
Distance from main pole to end of boom, both large and small poles extended - 23.5 inches max
Note: I left the wire clip on the boom during measurements, so you can get another half inch of boom extension when it is removed.
I pulled the half star from the rating simply because the mic adapter included is all plastic and not on par with the rest of what you get, and I would have preferred the more common "slip rod" tightener for the boom "T" attachment to make tightening easier for a fully extended arm. I do agree with other reviewers that this is not likely a good choice for the rigors of touring, but you shouldn't be counting on too much ruggedness from $30 booms if you're touring, anyway. Overall, I found the stand stable and versatile.

I'm glad I did as it can be angled many different ways and the key clamps secure this baby in many positions. I can get my condenser mic exactly where I like it and it doesn't move unless I move it. It's very well made in comparison to slightly cheaper ones.
As long as you use common sense and position the base correctly it most likely won't tip in most cases. Highly recommended. Used with respect this thing should last you many years!
Best Wishes with your own music!
Base robusta, pequeña para ocultar fácilmente pero a la vez grande como para microfonear rack toms (es donde yo la utilizo).
Me compraré dos más en un futuro ya que si son muy útiles y confiables
A solid, small and stable stand that doesn’t shake, perfect for Indian music and can be extended considerably to a perfect high for playing guitar on singing on chair too.
It’s well finished and the coating paint protects it from corrosion and makes it unnoticeable on stage.
A really good quality option that will last many years.
