Unlike the stand for e.g. the Suzuki digital piano, this stand does not have a broader base than the side supports which are the same (narrow) width as the keyboard is deep. This means that if you want to place the stand on a carpet, the piano will wobble back and forth making play impossible. You will then need to construct your own hard floor or supports to make the stand usable.

Very expensive for essentially 3 pieces of pressed wood and a couple of screws. If you must have it, try to buy in a package or included with the piano, not separately.

This was very easy to assemble using the fitted styrofoam pieces that come with the stand. So, don't toss the styrofoam pieces until after assembly. It is really ingenious the way the designers came up with this idea. The two sides stand up nicely in the fitted pieces and it makes everything go together perfectly!

1 star if used on carpet
4 stars if used on hard flooring

Although I was concerned about the stability of the stand on carpet I purchased it because I knew the px-100 has been discontinued and wanted to buy the stand while it was available. I had hoped to put the piano in my living room, which is carpeted. Unfortunately, placing the stand on carpet made the piano unplayable. The entire thing would rock back and forth when I played anything. I tried several pieces of music and even the most gently and softly played would cause the stand to move. I tried placing wedges of cardboard under the 'legs' to add some stability, but nothing worked. Eventually I just moved it to the only hard surface in my living room--the brick in front of the fireplace.

I'm not thrilled about where it is, but on a hard surface the stand is excellent. It's very stable and I now feel as if I am really sitting at a piano.

If your only choice is to put this stand on carpet then I would strongly suggest looking into other options.

This stand was really easy to put together. As mentioned before, do NOT throw away the styrofoam pieces until you have finished putting it together.

The only reason I do not give it a 5 star rating is that I've found it to be -slightly- unstable when you have to forcefully strike the keys of the piano....very minor flaw.... but otherwise an excellent stand.

We have it on berber carpeting and it does not shake. I previously bought and quickly returned an x-stand for this keyboard. That looked terrible, the keyboard slid around on the top, I had to put rubber matts on the supports to keep the keyboard in place, and it wobbled terribly. After that I decided this stand couldn't be much worse and it would look much nicer. This one does a much better job and I'm very happy with this purchase.

But the instructions look like they were written by a 4 year old. Very unclear and confusing. You basically have to interpret what you are supposed to do by looking at pictures. However, once you get past that, it does the job.
