I purchased this for my home studio, wanting a stand that would adjust easily for my students of varying heights. This one fits the bill. It adjusts up and down by just a push or a pull. It's tight enough (so far) that it doesn't "sink" if a student puts heavy music on it. It's also steel so if I need to secure music or other things to it with a magnet, I can.

Since we have wood flooring in the room where this stand is used, I also bought some floor protectors. (Musician's Friend sells a set of 3 for less than $2). If you're worried about marking up your floors, then I highly recommend the floor protectors.

The music stands are a great quality for the price. We've purchased several of these stands over the past two years and are satisfied with the purchase experience and the quality of the stands.

This is the stand you remember from the band room. Effective, and built like a tank. You will need a wrench to assemble (a very simple task). One note - the metal feet would scratch some types of flooring, invest in the optional foot covers if you're concerned.

Perfect stand, just like you had in choir or band. Solid as a ROCK! Good quality, good price, heavy stand. Should last forever.

Exactly like the ones we used in orchestra and band way back in high school. The best one money can buy!!

Easy to assemble Fits right in with the rest of my equip is there when i need it and just looks flat out good in the booth and build is stable

This is a very heavy duty stand and the reviews looked good. I assembled it easily enough but when twisting the top part that holds your music, it makes a very loud and deep squeaking noise. I tried WD40 and other lubricants. I adjusted the height over and over working the lubricant down the shaft but the squeak stayed the same. This is no good because my daughter plays the harp and during her concerts she has to twist the top part after sitting down and before standing up. The audience is very quiet and well, you can imagine. I must have received a lemon.

I ordered this product as an Amazon prime mail customer, and it arrived in 2 days as promised. It had a small dent on one side of the desk part, which would not have bothered me much, except that this was a gift. Fortunately, since I had ordered it from Amazon, the return process was easy. I received a second music stand promptly, which was in good condition. The only problem with it though, was that it was hard to put together. It required some strength to pull the stand up to a decent height. My son helped put some muscle to it, and we managed to adjust the height. Now that it has been used quite a bit, it's not as stiff, and the height can be adjusted more easily. It's a very sturdy stand, all metal. Also, it's magnetic, so you can use magnets to secure pages if you like. The ledge of the desk can support a 3 ring notebook with no problem. Makes a great gift for a musician. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was because it was difficult to put together.

this stand is VERY GOOD ! nice and strong , i recommend if you can only afford a low price one to get this , it is worth a lot more then 29 dollars, this will last a life time, and its not real heavy you can pick it up and move it easily,,i was looking at the cheep fold up ones and read some of the reviews and then remembered seeing them in different yards out by the trash cans to be picked up with the trash,, so i looked for something better and ,i am so happy to have found this , at this price.i didn't want to pay more then 15 dollars for a stand ,but i really wanted something to last and if i bought one for 9 or 15 dollars and in 6 months its in the trash ,i would be buying another one , so really ,this is the BEST DEAL , i am SO HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS STAND you can't go wrong with this one,,,REALY !! get it ! it will hold a few books and stand should not tip over,its heavy enough not to, it slides up and down nicely, and the book shelf tilts easly and stays and you can turn it as well, .,bolts are NOT plastic,witch is nice,,and very easy to put together and fast,,i got it together in one minute,i only used regular pliers to put it together.. the stand goes low enough for sitting or high enough for standing up while playing instrument,i truly recommend this for anyone ! (i did get the foot guards for $1.95 to protect floor, on carpet you will not need them ,)and it comes with a 10 year warranty ,and with the free shipping you can't beet it,

I PURCHASED THIS STAND FOR MY SON AND HE LOVES IT. IT IS VERY STURDY AND JUST WHAT HE NEEDED TO PLAY THE SAX.
