Much lower quality than expected 
2008-06-10
A friend recommended this to me, because of the convenience of folding away into it's own case. However, it doesn't have a handle, and it doesn't fit into any standard size bag
The music shelf is very flimsy as was previously noted, so I expect to be taking pieces in an out of my big music notebooks constantly. The stand back folds up to become the case, but it doesn't seem to lock when you unfold it, and the screws that tighten it aren't great. You constantly have to watch that it's not going to fold up and dump the music.
I used the stand three times, and the ring that allows the height adjustment just snapped. Not as I was adjusting it, but as I was sitting and playing. The whole group stopped playing to have a laughing fit, but fortunately it was just a rehearsal.
I'm hoping that the merchant will agree to replace or refund this item, but all in all, I am very disappointed in this product.
Not good quality 2008-06-04
This product arrived in pieces - the sides of the folding part were all cracked open. It was shipped with no padding in the box, but the plastic it's made of is flimsy and brittle, so I don't know that it would have helped. The shelf that holds the music is very thin plastic and does not lock on tightly, cannot hold books, only sheet music, because it's too flimsy. The legs are sturdy but very heavy, you might as well get a regular metal stand. The stand is very short, you can't use it if you stand to play or sing. The fold out knobs do not lock the stand open, it keeps collapsing. I just threw it out because it was such a pain to use and could not hold my music books.
Sturdy Stand, Except... 
2008-04-23
I bought this for my wife who plays the violin. She really loves it and says it's perfect. Except the actual music holder, which folds up to hold all the metal stands is made up of "not so great quality" plastic. And when my wife opened the package, two broken pieces fell out of the box! I'm assuming that happened in shipping, with the metal bars moving around inside. It wasn't a crucial damage if you keep this assembled all the time. But that wasn't the case with us.
But, Musician's Friend was really helpful when I contacted them and they're sending out a replacement unit right away, without us having to send the defective portion back and waiting weeks without a stand. Kudos to them!! Amazing Customer Service!

I have owned a Petersen for about 15 years now. It has held up remarkably well, and is much more sturdy than any wire stand. It is lightweight, packs in to a notebook sized, self-contained unit, and has wings which pull out from both sides to accommodate full sized orchestral scores. As previously mentioned, it is not good for tall players, but can be angled back nicely.
Many of my students and friends have made purchases after seeing mine.
Great portable stand 2007-07-01
This stand is very durable and very compact. It looks far better on stage than a metal stand. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars was because if you are over 5'5" you can't comfortably use it standing up because it is too short. Great for sitting though...
