Musical stand

It was just what my daughter expected, she was excited that it was of good quality since she paid for it with her own money.

Sturdy, easy to assemble, great value

This is a great music stand for a great price. It's metal and has a solid base so it's not tipsy. I've seen it used in orchestras but it blends into the home decor because of it's simplicity. Great for longterm use, especially for growing young musicians. I prefer this over the portable, foldable wire stands.

Useful and Affordable

This music stand holds heavy music books without much trouble. For those looking for something portable, this is not it. This is great for a more permanent use.

Excellent Stand for the money

I had been shopping local music stores for music stands for my home, and I ultimatly was turned off by the price disparity between store and online prices. I was initially nervous about buying the Manhasset music stand becase similarly priced stands in the stores were made of light, flimsy metal that seemed cheap to the touch.

I was delighted when I received this music stand. The assembly was very easy. It comes in 3 pieces, and requires a pair of pliers and a screw driver to assemble. It took me about 3 minutes to get it all assembled once I had the tools in front of me.

The stand is a little lighter than I expected, weighing about 2-3 lbs. However, even though it is light, the top is sturdy and will not bend if you are trying write. The stand extends to about 60 inches at its maximum.

I strongly recommend this stand for home use.

Great music stand

For daily home practice, this Manhasset music stand is a must. It remains stationary while writing in music, unlike wire music stands which do not have the strong backing. It also holds more music books at once than a wire stand and has room for a metronome. It is light enough to pick up and move to another room with little effort.

Very easy to assemble! Great mark down price, too.

If you'd rather spend less money, the West Music Wire Music Stand is only $9.95. It's good for travel and as a spare.

Excellent

I obviously love this product. I do use that every day without any problem.

Great quality, durability, and ease of use

This stand is used at two of the three schools I rehearse at, and is the one I purchased for my own use. It's solid but of reasonable weight, tolerates being throw in the trunk with a bunch of instruments and stands, and stays put, even when used at the full height. The lip is a sheet of aluminum, easy to get clips on and off. The powder-coated surface will eventually start to show scuffs and scratches, but no more than any other stand out there. And yes, the "clutch" will eventually give out, but it's cheap and easy to replace. This is far outweighed by the convenience of being able to adjust the stand height without unscrewing something. Barring this infrequent (hasn't happened in three years of weekly use) repair, it will last forever.
