I recently bought a set of 4 legged stands from SGS Engineering in Derby, UK.
Surprisingly When searching online I found more 4 legged than 3 legged stands which were more expensive here in the UK.

I would not have 4 leg stand as they wobble on uneven ground

That’s all I have is 4 leg stands I usually put a 1/2 plywood under them so they don’t sink into the pavement and tip over.
had mine now for close to 20 years lol do need a new floor jack to lift it for them now as mine crapped out after 20 years lol

I have four of these HF stands which I bought a few years ago when I lived in the States. I am now in Canada, though only an hour across the border from the nearest HF store. But unfortunately, the border is closed!

Apparently. I will however give them credit for offering to buy back any of their jack stands if you don't feel you can trust them.

This whole "if you use them un an uneven surface thing" cracks me up...because, this is the first rule of using a jackstand...it must be on a flat/solid surface. Never, ever...use a jackstand on any type of grade...ever.
