Had a look on ebay/amazon, tons of very similar models there, all of them looks like made out of cheese with reviews stating that everything just brakes on them.
I really despise poor quality tools ,so Not entertained by the ''good value for money'' junk Lidl stuff as well.

Is there anything in this budget that is well built and will last & last and provide good ergonomic service?
Would be good if it's semi-foldable so doesn't takes up much space when not in use.
Can you get something like that in this budget?

No complaints against my Lidl jobbie. The bike's lived in it for last 3 years and it's never dropped out or toppled over. Really useful the other day while replacing the internally-threaded gear cables. Bike stand held the frame at every conceivable angle, even fully inverted, while I struggled to tease the inner cables out with magnets, weights, long-nosed pliers and a strong mini-torch. One of the best £25-worth I've ever spent! Really I can't see what it lacks but perhaps your LBS could tell you what make they use and why.

You are in luck, Mountain Biking UK have just reviewed some, best was Topeak PrepStand Max a bit over budget at £99.99 but best value was B'Twin 500 at £59.99, they said "Don't let the relatively low price of the B'Twin stand put you off purchasing it. The 500 works just as well as the more expensive models on test, just with less flair"

My one was £23 from eBay delivered, had it a year now and love it.

Another vote for the Lidl / Aldi one. Perfect, adjustable, folds up small. Trust it with my P3 no problems

If you look carefully most of them below £100 use the same parts.
Same here, have a £25 jobbie and still rock solid after 3 years.
