Excellent for home use and for the price.

I have several instruments being practiced in this household at various times, and we have spent years fighting with the little fold-up wire stand. My kids had given up on using it, and instead sat on the floor with their music spread out, rather than waste the time assembling a stand that would likely fall over, or get pages stuck between the metal pieces. I had not done anything about it, because I remember checking a long time ago, and finding nicer stands to be cost-prohibitive. When I stumbled across this stand, and read the reviews, I thought the price warranted a go. We have not been disappointed. My daughter now uses this stand instead of the floor for violin, my son does much better with his trombone, etc. Though it doesn't fold completely away like the old fold-up, the top does angle flat up and down, and we just store it in a corner, completely out of the way, but ready to go in seconds. We like the wide music area, as it can hold wider selections, and you can have several music pieces on the stand at one time without any difficulties. We have had to take it to traveling concerts, and it has held up well. It has easily fit in the trunk of our car, and has held up well. Though probably not quite as heavy or as sturdy as the very expensive commercial models, it has been very adequate for our needs and has held up remarkably well. I was so pleased with it that I talked a friend into buying it for her husband to use as he practices his guitar. He also happily gave up his old flimsy fold up stand. If you are fighting a cheap fold-up, you will wonder why you waited so long to try this one.

great stand, wish it has a page holder

this is a very sturdy stand and looks great in our living room. I just wish it had a page holder (our previous cheap portable standard had one). It works great for sheet music. but for a book, we have to put a paper clip on to keep the pages from turning. overall an excellent value for this product. I am sure it will last much longer than our previous portable stand.

Manhasset stand does the job

One of my pet peevess with music stands when I travel a lot are that they are too heavy or too wimpy and light. The light ones are easy to tip over when you have a large amount of music or books. In one show, I had the whole stand fall off the stage.

This stand answers all the needs for me. It's light, but sturdy enough for a large book.
It can be adjusted easily. It's possible that the raising and lowering clutch will eventually fail to hold, I haven't had any evidence of this yet and feel that this is an unnecessary worry.

Perfect!

If you need a music stand look no further. This stand is all the
non-pro musician will ever need. Well constructed and sharp looking.
Get the rubber foot protectors if you have hardwood floors.
In one word....Perfect!

Pretty good stand for the money.

The stand is sturdy, stable, and well made.

Assembly was very easy and clear instructions were provided.

It is almost all metal but the bracket that connects tray to the column is plastic. Hopefully it will last, though. It does seem like pretty sturdy plastic.

The outside of the column was greasy, and the music tray also had spots of grease. It got my hands greasy when I assembled it and I had to clean it with solvent. The manufacturer's instructions provided no guidance on what solvent to use to cut the grease without damaging the paint. Why should I even have had to clean it myself, though? When I buy something brand new I expect it to be clean and ready to use.

I'm using it on a carpeted floor but the base would scratch a nice wood or tile floor, so I pretty much have to use it on a carpeted floor unless I buy floor protectors as an accessory. But why should that be a separate accessory to buy? Why not make it ready to use on any floor by default?

I would have given it five stars except for the grease I had to clean off it and not being able to use it on a wood floor without making a separate purchase of floor protectors.
