Well worth the money/investment. Even if they don't save you from an off-roading incident, the protect your paintwork for annoying car park dents/scratches.

They look pretty good quality with 4mm steel and the price isn't stupid either. The design looks familiar and used by many.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
Another reason for installing mine is so the kids/folks can get in and out easily. So yes, they are good for that too.

The ones for £260 on the bay are Carls. I've a set on mine and there solid. I just put grip tape on to stop the feet sliding off when it's wet.

I am very tempted by the one's on fleabay. With another support added, they should be quite strong and significantly cheaper than anything else.
Has anybody rubbed against a tree or rock and found out how well they cope?
@professorpool - they are easy to fit - just bolt on.Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders
