Superior Music Stand!!!

This truly is a work of art and function all rolled into one! It's lightweight, doesn't take up as much floor space and doesn't bang up my knees when sitting. I would, however, have appreciated some instructions with assembly for the first time. Other than that, can't say enough good things about the Folding Z-Stand!

Heavy duty folding z-stand

I am really happy with this purchase. The stand is very strong, adujstable and easily assembled. It's even portable if needed.

Built like a TANK!

Once you use of these, all the others are virtually toys in comparison! I also have the second tier on mine and with full 88 weighted-hammer-action-keyed synth on base and another heavy-weight 61 key 'viral-type' board on top, there's absolutely no fear of this ever tipping over even on carpet and the ocassional 23 LB Maine Coon Cat curiosity leap on it (I keep my boards covered). Plan to get another for rest of the 'family of synths' because no other brand makes quality like this. Also, same brand makes a VERY sturdy angular, free-standing rack mount for sound modules, etc. with the VERY same sturdy workmanship. Once you use one you will regard all the others as high-priced ironing boards--think about it!

Using as a Rack Stand

I bought this stand to use with a Gator GRC-10x8
rack. Even at it's narrowest setting, it was too wide for the rack to sit on it. I modified it, making the center support smaller by removing the knobs, grinding off the nuts, cutting the tubing, drilling and then spot welding the nuts back on, painted and now it will slide down to 14'" wide. I then put some self adhesive rubber weatherstripping on the top to keep the rack from sliding on it.
It works great, looks great and can be folded up to take up less room. Love it!

best stand I've ever owned!

I've owned numerous types of keyboard stands before and I have to say this is my all time favorite ever! It's completely customizable as for as how wide and tall you want it and it packs away completely to a small footprint. This stand is 100% worth the investment.

Very strong

Strong stand with plenty of adjustments and option for a second tier. This one is a winner.

Super strong

Hands down the strongest stand I've owned, and I've had a-frames, Ultimate Apex, X-stands, and a few others. They all have their uses, but if you need sturdy, this is the one. I wouldn't hesitate to stand on it.

One minor beef (all my fault of course), and some advice: if you use your studio in your bare feet, watch out for those bottom support beams! They stick out a little further than the top ones - which will fool your eyes for positional awareness of the bottom ones if you aren't paying attention - and I lost a toenail to one. This thing is way more rugged than my toes! :-o

This gives the customer confidence to choose direction which is then executed flawlessly by the Sweetwater team and backed by Professionals doing business with Professionals. I know I can count on excellence from Sweetwater Sound.

It's a Beast

Solid, sturdy design, it's heavy and balanced. I use it in a home-studio setting, in a very crowded space and somewhat high-traffic area; I've bumped into my keyboard a few times, each with no unhappy consequence.

It was a bit of a puzzler getting it set up, but once I outsmarted the architecture, it seemed pretty obvious (literally laughed at myself for taking so long to get it together).

Great Product... which is no surprise because it's Sweetwater we're talking about.

Solid Keyboard Stand

Relatively speaking, one would have to hit it good to damage it. The wide base gives a good stability. The only downside is that it does not lock into keyboards as some stands do. The keyboard is held on the stand via gravity. This is not an issue for us.

Good all around stand

I purchased this stand for my Yamaha keyboard. The stand is very stable and solid. It folds down quite compactly, although I don't ever fold it up, it stays setup in my home studio. It has several preset height adjustments which seem to be appropriate for standing or sitting for most people. The width is adjustable to whatever you are putting on it. I am very happy with it and would recommend it.

Skinned Shins

This is a a very sturdy and well constructed stand, but I have two minor issues. First, I'm finding folding it flat and then unfolding it is kind of a hassle. Second, since I use a pedal, I sometimes find the shin of my right leg hitting the bottom cross bar to reach the pedal. Other than these minor issues, a great product.

Great stand!

Great stand and an excellent price. Very well constructed, and easy to assemble.
