5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality October 4, 2010

I purchased this stand for my private violin studio that I run out of my home. I wanted something that was very sturdy, but also not the typical Manhasset stand. Those are too heavy to lug around. This stand sits nicely in the living room, but also folds quite well to travel with me in my car for gigs. It looks very professional, and you almost can't even tell that it is a folding stand.
All of my students love the wide lip for music. I have put two 1 inch binders on the stand, they fit comfortably.
I love this stand, I will be buying another one for my room soon.

3.0 out of 5 stars an okay stand, but it leans September 18, 2011

This is a nice enough stand for $20. Assembly is easy. (There were no assembly instructions, but I cannot imagine how anybody could not understand how to assemble the stand. Assembly amounts to putting two bolts through two holes to attach the desk to the pole.) The tripod legs open easily and are held in place by a simple, secure clip. No tightening required. The rotating collar that tightens the extended pole works well and is not fussy. The desk is solid and is easy to adjust to different tilt angles using the hand-tightened bolts on back. My only complaint is about the mechanism that tightens the tripod base to the pole. The tightening is easy enough: a large diameter bolt with a plastic handle turns fairly easily into the hole on the plastic tripod base and tightens against the upright pole. One could conceivably strip the threads in the plastic base, but it is unlikely: there is no reason to tighten the bolt hard enough to do that. My complaint is that the bushing between the pole and the tripod base is not tight enough. As a result, when one tightens the bolt in the base, the upright pole tilts. This gives the desk a bit of a tilt. Not a huge tilt, and the stand is not in danger of falling over, but the tilt is definitely noticeable. This is a very dumb oversight in the design. I won't return the stand, because it works well enough for my purposes. But the tilt is the reason that I give the stand a rating of only 3, not 4.

4.0 out of 5 stars Basic music stand, works great, 1/2 off cost at a retail music store. November 17, 2010

By Andrew M.

I'd been shopping for a music stand at local music stores, all of them at the cheapest price for this type with a solid backside are $45 plus tax. This item including shipping cost me only about $23 here from Amazon, and the seller Musician's Friend sent it promptly, got it within 10 business days without any problems. I had no trouble putting the stand together without any instructions. The bolts aren't as easy to adjust compared perhaps to a more expensive stand, but I don't care about that. It's not hard to adjust, and most of the time I have it at a certain height, so no need to fiddle with it, but during a group performance, it did need to be adjusted for different people and that was ok but could be smoother. If you're someone who needs to fiddle with the stand height constantly you might want to get a higher priced one that makes that easier, but if you are only occasionally going to adjust the height, it's no big deal. Other than that, it is a solid and handy stand that meets expectations and does what it should, for 1/2 price off retail. Excellent. I'm completely satisfied with this.
