This stand works well for the PX130 and is reasonably attractive when set up. But, for the price, I expected more.

Specifically, I have three issues with this stand. First, the stand tips easily unless the anti-tipping metal brackets are installed at the bottom, which seems like more of a cheesy band-aid on a design flaw than a good solution to this problem. Second, the piano does not sit in the stand in a way where it can easily be removed but is actually bolted in, limiting its portability. Third, the appearance and quality of the build, while fine, is not far from Ikea furniture, which is less than I expected for the price.

This stand is a nice addition to the Privia PX 330 or 130. It is not perfect, however. The side legs are not terribly deep, so the stand will rock a bit front to back when placed on wall to wall carpeting. It does have two metal extensions, one for each side, that will help prevent the stand and keyboard from tipping over backward if you haven't put the keyboard up against a wall, but without some extension feet front and back on each side (like the stand Yamaha used to make for its YPP 200 and p95) this stand is a bit of a rocker. It's much better, I'm sure on a hardwood or ceramic tile floor, but not a rock solid unit when used in a room with wall to wall carpeting.

Also, the keyboard attaches to the stand with four wing nut screws that are threaded into holes on the bottom of the keyboard. For some reason, Casio decided to make these screw holes and screws with very fine threads. As a result it is a real bother to start each screw into the threaded socket on the bottom of the piano -- each screw has to be perfectly aligned with the hole, etc. -- and because there are so many threads, it takes multiple turns to tighten each screw, all the while you are reaching under the keyboard in an awkward position or else sitting on the floor cross-legged under the keyboard which is neither comfortable nor easy to do. The pedal assembly, which is sold separately, is a clever addition to the stand, but it has a special connector that isn't easy to detach from the bottom of the piano if/when you want to take this keyboard out on the town. So if you're planning to keep your keyboard on the stand, then by all means this is a satisfactory solution, but if you want this to be an easily portable keyboard, it might be good to pass on this particular stand and its finely threaded, rather long and thin four mounting screws and pedal assembly connector.

The stand does it's job. It was easy to put together, holds the piano well, and seems easy to disassemble for portability. However, it's priced a bit high for a few pieces of wood and few pieces of hardware. So, it loses a star there.

The Casio stand is a necessary addition to the PX330. Why wouldn't anyone want to place the PX330 on a stand. Well, the stand matches the piano perfectly, very stable, smartly designed, required very simple installation, is made from wood, and is colored black to match the piano. It's a great design for home use, and the PX330 also is a fine electric keyboard to have fun with at home. It looks nice and sounds great. Unless you're Alfred Brendel, McCoy Tyner, or Stevie Wonder, this piano keyboard will be fine for all your piano playing. It has a very sleek design and can fit against a wall taking up minimal space. Great piano and stand for a great price.

I researched a LOT. I'm on a budget, so I was trying to see if I could just get a simple X stand. I finally splurged to get this, since you know, it was made to fit...and it's perfect, as it should be. Works well, completely sturdy. Really easy to put together (although it was slightly difficult to get everything balanced by myself. If you use chairs to hold up one side while you work on the other, you'll be fine). One note - when you're setting your dimensions to fit where you want to put it, make sure to add a few inches in the back. There are these wobble-prevention plates that stick out (that work great), but they'll add some inches in the back. Therefore, the piano doesn't kiss the wall (and it wouldn't be able to anyway, since the music stand tilts back a little as well). But - you can't adjust the height, and you probably should only take it apart on rare occasions. All in all, works great for me.

Very happy with the stand. Easy to assemble and looks stylish. The wing nuts fastening the piano to the stand mean that you you can take the piano on the road after one minute of unfastening.

this stand looks nice, and was very easy to put together. It wants the foot pedal bar to stabilize it.

The CS-67 keyboard stand is a terrific complement to our PX130. While it could be sturdier, it's pretty solid. Assembly is not too bad, plan to invest an hour doing so.

The stand came nicely packed. I used the little metal extenders on the lower back ends of the stand legs for greater stability. An offset from the wall is necessary when using the px130's music stand (unless I installed it wrong) anyways, so using the extenders is fine. Installation was fast and easy. My red PX130 looks great on it.

While I could have used my old X-stand for my px130, there were a few things about this stand that pushed me to buy it:
1. The CS-67 is made specifically for the px130/px330 and it wasn't an afterthought. The screw holes under the keyboard and the groove for the metal support bar are there for this stand. Also, the contours at the top where the keyboard sits match that of the keyboard. Yes, these design points seem obvious, but I wasn't sure what to expect from Casio. It could have been worse.

2. I preferred a stand that "integrates" with the keyboard. There may come a time when I need to move the keyboard separately from the stand, so it's nice to know that I can with only a little work.

3. Making my own stand would require materials and more time than I'm willing to put in.

4. From the reviews I've seen, Casio stands are not backwards compatible. So, better to buy now before the next rev of the PX line.

Overall, I'm happy with the stand. However, I docked a star for one reason... value. I think that $60 is a fair price for this stand. $100 is a little too high for it to be considered a good value.

Nice accessory! It's form-fitting against the piano, adds a steel bar reinforcement across the width of the piano's underside, made of heavy, dense wood, and has an elegant matte-black finish. This is a surprisingly sturdy, easy to assemble piece of furniture, and complements the piano nicely. The pedal board is not nearly as well constructed, but completes the package.
