This stand is the best I have owned

I have owned several keyboard stands over the years, and for the stage pianos, this is the most sturdy I have ever owned.
I have 2 setups , one where I play at a club 6 nites a week and at home. I bought this for the stage setup, but liked it so much, decided to keep it at home for my Yamaha CP33 piano.I will be buying another for the club.
Great stand for a good price and Sweetwater shipped it to me almost overnight.

Heavy duty keyboard stand

I needed a keyboard stand. This is better than I expected, the cross members are strong. Holds keyboard securely and is height adjustable.

The instructions are stupid

The instructions are not very good. You will, more than likely put it together wrong. Buy it preassembled. It's a GREAT stand.

Excellent Stand

Tired of having your fingers pinched off while setting up your stand? Here is your solution. The clutch adjustment is awesome and completely solves the usual problems with these x-type stands. It is worth the extra money to get it. Easy to assemble as well.

Heavy Duty; Poor Instructions

This is a very solid, heavy, heavy duty stand. However, the set up instructions are a joke. There is no indication of where the release lever is and even in spite of following the instructions, I put the stand together wrong the first time and had to take it apart because it is easy to place the outside uprights in the inside as there is no instruction on this issue. The stand itself is as solid as anyone could ask for.

After years of abuse...here's my review

I've put this stand through its paces. 2 years including multiple local shows, recording sessions, home set-up, rehearsals, touring, and probably a few other abuses/uses I'm not thinking of.
I use this stand to support my Yamaha S-80, a fully weighted 88-key synth. I occasionally use the 2nd tier for a triton extreme.
2 selling points for me right off the top-
1. It adjusts down to a piano-like level. An ultimate stand I had wouldn't go quite low enough and others I looked at had the same problem.
2. The trigger is where it's at. I've had other stands with various locking mechanisms- the trigger is fast and secure, easily adjustable on the fly....very nice.
It's taken all the banging, dragging and hauling around I've dished at it. It works great.
The only drawbacks I could think of would be a bit of nit-picking: the 2nd tier stand is a little bit of a pain to put on. And a pain to haul without messing it up. And it makes the 2nd tier keyboard come out further over the 1st tier keyboard more than I'd prefer. But it works well.
The best stand I've ever used.

Great Stand

I use the stands in my shop to line up repair and service work. The handle adjust make it perfect for my usage and I don't have to bend down to adjust the height

Sturdy, But Surprisingly Hard to Assemble

The stand itself is great. I would give it a 4.5 if it hadn't been so woefully mislabeled that the assembly took over 30 minutes. Color coded stickers are supposed to indicate where the base and the legs join. Not so in my case.

Lowest Setting = Not Low Enough

So I bought this stand for use with my recently purchased (from Sweetwater!) Yamaha P95. I've played piano for about 18 years now and I normally play sitting down and I must say that if you plan to use this stand with a keyboard to simulate playing on a piano (while seated) -- think again! The lowest setting for this stand was NOT low enough to play comfortably sitting down. I bought a drum throne to sit higher, but it's less than ideal for playing and may or may not have contributed to some recent back pain. Sadly this stand (for me) is going to have to be returned, but luckily for me this is Sweetwater we're talking about, so I'm sure they'll help me out. Ryan Murray has been more than helpful with all my purchases!

All in all, if you plan on using this keyboard stand for playing while standing (most likely for gigging) it's pretty sturdy. Just be aware that the keyboard slides around if you're not careful. As long as you're not forcefully moving the keyboard, you should be fine. If you plan on using this keyboard stand for playing while seated, I'd recommend looking at something else.

Dissappointed with assembly

The stand looks nice it just took 3 hours + to get it together. The manufacturer put the nuts and bolts on the wrong side! After trying and prying and taking apart a number of times we figured it was put together wrong. It did go together nicely after things were in the right place. If you have problems with assembly take apart the parts that came assembled and you might save yourself some time and aggravation. I'm also adding some velcrow to the stand to keep the keyboard from moving so freely (sliding) when you go around it.

You Get What You Pay For

This was not the cheapest alternative available, nor was it the most expensive. It is built tough and sturdy, and it does the job. However, it has its drawbacks: 1) Does not sit perfectly flat on a flat floor; 2) Very heavy; 3) Built with lots of custom screws that are a hassle to replace; 4) A little confusing to assemble. My previous stand was lighter, had mostly welded joints, and had just enough play to sit flush with flat or nearly-flat surfaces. A lot of odd screws scare me because I had to replace the previous stand due to a single lost screw. Fortunately, the joints on this stand will still hold together with a few screws missing. This is fine, but I would have paid a bit more for something lighter and better-constructed had I known.

Not Satisfied

I bought this stand a couple of years ago, and while it is sturdy I don't like it. It was hard to put together, and still doesn't look right. They On Stage uses a color coded system for putting it together, but I think they were misplaced. It does hold the keyboard w/no problem, but like others have said, it's hard to put together. The keyboard, at least mine which is light, will slide on the top.
