4.0 out of 5 stars Nice stand!, March 9, 2008

This review is from: Peak Music Stands Portable Music Stand Black

My trusty heavy duty Belmonte fold-up stand kicked the bucket and I went out looking for a stand that could stand just as tall.

I thought I was going to get a Manhasset Voyager, but seeing it in person I was disappointed with its height (I'm 6'1), I really want a stand at eye level when I am standing.

I tried out the Peak SMS-20 and I found that it was quite a bit taller than the Manhasset and almost purchased it until a sales rep pointed out the "tall" version: SMS-50.

OMG. The tall version TOWERS well above me! It extends just as tall as the SMS-20 at first, but then there's a second pole that extends much further. Quite nice.

The only thing I'm disappointed in is that the folding flaps of the stand on my stand don't seem to want to fold and unfold without a lot of pressure. I'm almost afraid I can break the stand. Hopefully it'll be easier as I use the stand more often.

Other tidbits:
Latches lock stand height/legs vs screwing things tight.
Can independently unfold legs (doesn't auto-extend with base).
The stand tilt is a screwing thing, but it's on the LEFT, takes a little getting used to.
Mine came with a bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars sturdy folding alternative to clunky black metal music stand, December 28, 2008

Got this as a gift and although I haven't used it yet, I did take it out of the bag and put it together (the instructions make for some amusing reading...). It went together easily; all the adjusters were nice and tight (no spinning or wobbling like my little old wire folding music stand); and although rather large for a folding stand, is MUCH more convenient and lightweight than my black metal Manhasset that I used to have to take to gigs (which filled up one entire side of my tiny car, with the seats folded down). Seems like it will be easier to mark music on than the Manhasset, which had those weird bumps across the top half. This is a solid surface once assembled. It even has two tiny swivel arms on the ledge to keep music from slipping off. Can't wait to *have* to use it! Love that it came with a storage bag with a strap for carrying.

UPDATE 2011:
A piece broke off of the tray part, but still useable. I don't think this should have happened, especially considering how infrequently I use it. Also, the tray is thicker than the metal stands, so you can not clip on a springy wire pencil holder thingie (I don't know what they are called, but look like a little coil). Other than that, I still love it. In fact, I have not used my Manhassets in so long I am finally going to Craigslist them!!!! yey!

3.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy but not durable, September 4, 2010

I have had this stand for about a year, and had the same issue with the flaps on the music table not folding easily. Over the last two weeks, plastic pieces have been falling off the hinges and today one of the flaps came off all the way. Great look for the price but wish it didn't break!
