I got the stand from Lidl earlier in the year. It's pretty good, all the parts are nice and strong. Here is a review.

This style is available from a number of outlets.
I've had the wiggle lifeline style stand before and it can be unstable when trying to work on cranks etc.
A quick search revealed this that last looks pretty much the same as the Lidl with some variants on the tightners. Which look an improvement to me.
