Great size and height to adjust to keyborads
July 23, 2017
I definitely recommend this stand for the price! It id not came damaged and it was very secure. My thick hymn book holds well and this is just hat I need for my keyboard at home. It is also not hard to assemble, you just have to make sure you screw it tight.
Solid
July 9, 2017
Solid Build plus it hides your flask from the audience.
Works great for holding up Macbook
May 18, 2017
LOVE IT! I use it to hold my macbook up to read from during recording sessions. Sturdier than I imagined and build quality is good. It has a somewhat light center of balance so don't be knocking this around.
Sturdy and well-made
August 7, 2016
Very sturdy and solid. Love it. Am using mine as a podium to teach in-house Bible studies. Note: does not come with clips to hold music sheets securely. Not needed for my purposes.
Perfect for adults and Children
March 17, 2016
My son absolutely loves music even though he is only 2 1/2 years old. A while back he started to pull out my wife's large foam roller and grab a random book he would conduct and sing his little songs that he made up on the fly. I decided to get him this with a gift card that my friend gave me for my birthday. I can say that this thing can take a beating and still stand perfectly. When adjusted to the lowest point it is just his size we now have little concerts where he pulls out the Stand, a random book and sings to his little hearts content. His little sister loves to grab random toys and hit it with them still stays nice and black without chipping any paint off. I will be looking forward to a day when I buy another for me when I get my trumpet fixed. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a sturdy stand for practicing or taking with them for performances.
Height is Perfect for Adults and is Stable as Well
January 27, 2016
I purchased this music stand over 9 months ago and we still love it. As the name states it is heavy duty and holds a considerable amount of weight in music books. Not once has the it let loose and allowed the stand to slide down. The lip of the stand is 1 1/2" deep and holds a binder of music with no problem. The stand does not wobble around and in actuality is quite stable. It does not lean or move. We have dogs and now a mobile one year old who are constantly moving around the stand as my husband practices and not once has the stand been knocked over. The three legs have quite a large rubber end to them and do not mark our hardwood floors either. The main reason I purchased it was the height as it can extend to 58" and this allows an adult to stand while playing. As to folding it up to carry it we never do. I actually think that aspect is a bit cumbersome, but it is not something we care about as it sits in my husband's office at all times.All in all, this is a perfect music stand for our needs:1. holds music books or two pages of music2. holds a 1" binder of music3. stable and does not slide down4. extends to a good height so adults can stand and use it5. fold-able if needed6. great priceCons:1. not an extremely large stand (only holds 2 sheets of music)2. not extremely easy to foldAgain, this is a great heavy duty stand for the price and I would recommend it to anyone.

i'm very pleased with the quality and price
September 22, 2017
i was nervous buying a guitar stand without putting my guitar on it first. there are so many reviews out there about guitar stands falling over. this one is a good quality product, i tested how much it would take to topple the guitar and it's a reasonable amount and unlikely to happen under normal conditions. i don't think a dog passing by would knock it over, for example. i wasn't in love with having a stand with a neck rest because of how it looks but it doesn't look awkward and i see the security that it affords.
Great, but holds my guitars crooked
May 24, 2017
The quality is above what I expected. Although my guitars don't sit level. I think it's due to the fact that the bottom piece that holds the lower half of the guitar is on a sort of swivel that allows it to rock back and forth. It's stable once a guitar is on it but I can't seem to make my guitar perfectly straight up and down. It's one of those things though where it's hard to notice unless you're actually looking for it. Overall good product. Might buy a couple more. Bought for my Gretsch G5420T and one of my Martin guitars. It holds the thinner guitars well such as my fender and my Gretsch (I guess if you consider that a thinner guitar) as well as the thick acoustics. Not too shabby at all.
Great stand at any price
July 16, 2016
This stand works well and seems to be well built. Many reviewers are whining about the back leg being so short and the unit being unstable. I find that to be incorrect, unless their children destroy everything in sight. I have four of these stands and none of them have ever damaged any of my basses, A Fender Jazz Bass V, four string Ibanez, five string Ibanez, and six string Ibanez. None of these are inexpensive or light weight instruments. When I need additional stands, these will be my choice.
Just a beginner, but I like it.
June 20, 2016
I've just begun picking up bass, and as such i've been practicing everyday. Getting the bass out of the bag every day to practice was starting to become a pain so I picked this up to sit in the corner of my room. it's very easy to grab my bass, practice and put it back. Anywhere the touches the guitar is covered in a foam type material. The kick stands are rubber. It also comes apart which makes it easy to move around.I really like it. There's a small rubber locking mechanism for your guitar that's at the top. I've found it's very easy to take off and put it back on.All in all I really love this thing, it's made practicing much less of a process every day, I can just grab the bass and practice.
Very good, especially for the price.
April 16, 2016
I own several of these. They are solid enough, adjustable, and very good for acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass. Also, these are cheaper here on Amazon than at Guitar Center.The only problem I've had with these stands is that the bottom part is too wide to support a Seagull 039227 Merlin Spruce SG Dulcimer 4-String Diatonic Instrument. For that instrument, I bought one of these: Hola! Heavy Duty Folding Universal Guitar Stand - Fits Acoustic, Classical, Electric and Bass Guitars - BlackHola stands are good, but don't have the upper support that these On State stands have. I think these stands are better for guitars and basses.
Good item!
February 19, 2016
It is a good item to have for a guitar. No more wall scratches.

You need this violin hanger.
September 3, 2017
This is a very well made violin hanger and the bow peg is an added bonus. It easily attaches to the music stand. There is never a concern that the violin will fall from the hanger.
This thing is great!!
June 17, 2016
I bought this violin holder with the purpose of having the violin close by every time I play. Is well made and is durable. You need to make sure you have a strong music stand. The violin does not rest on the pegs. I attached some pictures so you all have a better view how the violin is supposed to rest in the hanger. If you are thinking that the bow may hit the violin and can damage the varnish, from the pictures I attached you can see that the violin bow just barely touches the violin bridge not the varnish. One think you need to have in mind is that this is a hanger. If you are walking close by and hit the violin the violin will swing as well as the bow and you may be able to do some damage, you just need to be aware of your surroundings.Would I recommend this product? Of course...is cheap, is good quality, usable and durable.
Cool gadget
December 31, 2015
So far works great. Gave this to my violinist daughter. She more often just uses the bow holder to take a rest while practicing, but I also often see her using the hanger for her violin too. I do wish it attached a little more solidly as it has a tendency to loosen a bit and move from side to side, but minor annoyance. It also looks very cool with her stand, music open and violin/bow all together neatly in one place.
Love love love this
December 30, 2015
Love love love this! I'm a busy mom so trying to get in practice time and live daily life is tough. I love being able to safely set my violin in the swing when I have to run and take something out of the oven, or diffuse a child argument, switch a laundry load, or whatever interrupts me. Then I can literally pick back up where I stopped versus putting it away in a case each time I have to step away. It's also great for working with my daughter as we play together. I can set mine in the swing and assist her then pick back up playing. Every violinist should have one of these!
It was easy to install and feels very sturdy
December 27, 2015
I bought this for my 10 year old daughter's violin (1/4 size). She has a Manhasset music stand with the added plastic accessory shelf. It does not interfere with placement of the plastic accessory shelf. It was easy to install and feels very sturdy. Some reviewers expressed concern that it rests on the pegs and it may throw the violin out of tune or cause damage to the pegs. That has not been my experience. Her 1/4 size violin rests on the peg box - the pegs themselves are not touching the holder. She has never had any tuning issues with use of the holder. The bow peg holds the bow in front of and just slightly away from the violin. Very pleased.
Secure, safe violin and bow hanger
December 19, 2014
The violin hanger, once assembled, clamped easily and securely on my music stand. My violin fits nicely in the padded u-shaped holder and my bow fits well on the bow holder. It did take a little effort to screw the u-shaped holder into the clamp, but I feel that was due to the black paint on the threads. Once screwed on, it made for a tight fit. The bow does not rest on the pegs so it does not cause accidental movement of the pegs. See attached photos.

If it had a locking mechanism it would be perfect.
June 20, 2017
The stand I received does not have a locking mechanism for the legs, so if I push on the stand at all it lowers itself. If it had a locking mechanism it would be perfect.
Music stand sturdy but has minor isssues
March 15, 2017
Easy to figure out assembly instructions. Sturdy too. It is a wee bit cumbersome to work with - to adjust. lt seems the legs must be flat which makes the stand shorter than I would like it at times.
Some what of a pain in the ass.
January 18, 2016
The stand is very sturdy and I like it a lot but, it was however a total pain in the ass to figure out assembly. It took about 45 minuets before I finally figured it out , maybe I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but this was a little more than Irrating. I called the company and told them they should have setup instructions included. This was my first experience with a music stand. However it was a great price and it is very stable absolutley nothing wrong with the stand and the price was GREAT.
Works fine - but packaging of small parts could be better.
May 21, 2015
A little big to tote around, but it works for having a stand that's not a metal folding stand! I wouldn't want to take it apart to transport it and then put it back together, even though it's not that difficult to put together. I'd be more worried about losing the screws and nuts. When it came, there were no instructions on how to put it together. I had to figure it out. I feel that I'm not the brightest person in the world, but I did figure it out. I wish the screws and nuts came in a separate little bag and that it was attached to the stand or something. They were free-floating in one of the larger bags that a part of the stand came in. I was confused for a while on how to put it together because I only found one screw and the nuts, but eventually I found the other screw. But now that that's done, it works fine.
Not perfect, but still very good
January 10, 2014
Overall, I like this stand. I am used to lugging a Manhasset stand in my trunk for my son, so the collapsible feet are definitely an improvement. If I could redesign it, I would create a quick detach for the pole from the back of the music holder. As it is, I must keep the pole attached and carry the stand in a soft guitar case. Two bolts, two wingnuts and a washer is too much hardware to remove (and not drop and chase under chairs) every time I disassemble for travel and reassemble on site.It should also include a case since I assume that it is intended to be portable. I spent a day hunting for the guitar case solution and the fit is just so-so. I actually carry 2 stands in the case, so that shows what is possible, but it is rather heavy. You'd never toss an object like this in the back of your car, unprotected, without expecting either the stand or the car or both to eventually show wear.Later... After owning two of these for a few weeks, I have some additional comments to add. The bracket on the back side of the music/book plate is attached with rivets. It would have been far wiser to use screws with lock washers because the rivets do work loose eventually. Even so, the stand as a whole is still functional, but it just feels a little rickety that way. I think I will drill out the rivets and add proper hardware to the stands that I own.The second thing I noticed is that if you don't twist out the adjustment bolt far enough when collapsing and extending the rod, the bolt will drag and mar the paint.Even with the flaws, I am still happy with the stands, especially for the price.
Nice stand, no assembly instructions (see review for help)
February 2, 2012
This is a decent stand but there are no instructions for assembly, the only reason I am putting in this review is because there were tons of reviews saying there were no instructions and people either were stuck with it or other reviewers saying it was really easy. What I didn't see was any good explanation for those that are stuck. Let me also say, it really wasn't that easy to figure out, this is the first music stand I have ever owned so it wasn't totally intuitive. I am going to explain it as best I can to hopefully help others.There is the top part (the desk) and the stand itself. The stand has a pole with two holes at the top and the flared out part at bottom. The pole should go through the bottom with the holes at top, then you will need to add the round plastic ring that has an opening, this should go over the pole and the other long plastic tube should go over that and screw onto the base. This keeps the pole secure in the base. Also, the screw at the bottom of the base needs to be tightened. After that you can add the desk with the two screws, the one with the silver wing nut goes in the smaller hole and secures it and the other one goes in the larger hole and allows for the desk tilt to be adjusted.Hope this helps!

Great stands, great price.
April 12, 2017
I've purchased many of these over the years and though they seem to be getting a little "economical" in their construction - still can't beat them for the bang for the buck. Ever since I had a guitar slide off a stand (many, many moons ago) on stage, I've always went with these. The neck strap is a godsend.
It works, but you get what you pay for
March 24, 2017
As other reviewers have mentioned, this stand is a bit thin and not very stable. Thanks to those reviews I don't pick it up with the guitar, I move them separately. I used to set my cheap guitar next to me - against the bed, a table, the couch, whatever, and it would fall over sometimes when bumped lightly. When I bought a good guitar I also got this stand and it works as a safe place to put it nearby between playing, and then move it out of the way when I'm done. So I have to be careful to keep the thin cheap tubing in mind when moving and when placing the guitar in the stand, but other than that it's fine for how cheap it is.It does what it's meant to, hold the guitar.Double check your guitars finish, some will interact with the foam padding.
Good stand!
April 23, 2016
Seems to be pretty reliable stand that is very easy to put together. My guitar only sits on the stand in my room, so i don't know how easy it is to travel with the stand. The quality of the materials seems high. The only thing that I found less than ideal was that the support bar (U-shaped) at the bottom of the stand that the guitar rests on doesn't stay in place. It pivots, but stays in place when the instrument is resting on it. That, however, is a very minor complaint.
Good, but not Great - has two issues
December 29, 2015
I like this for what I use it for, which is a full size acoustic guitar. There are a few issues with it. The metal it's self is solid and put together well. The height of the neck from the swivel base (not the floor) is adjustable from 21" up to about 26" (and still able to use the screw in the back to secure the adjustable neck). The pictures are exactly what you get, so I didn't see the point of taking another picture of the stand.The two issues I have with this stand is 1. It is in fact very unstable. While it's just sitting around, it's nice and as long as it is out of the way then it's fine. If you barely push it diagonally to the back left or back right, it will easily fall over. If it is sitting in a corner you wont have to worry about it. If it is on a stage, in a more high traffic area, or if there are other items around that could push in to it or if you're in a rush to put it down, dog/kids in house - it could easily fall over. I have mine in a corner like most people probably do, however that's a major concern for a stand. The rear peg is just too short. 2. The pads on the metal aren't very high quality. Although they are fine for light use around the house and will probably last a year or more, they will wear out and need to be replaced for sure. They are not very thick but do the job.I really debated on giving it three stars, but for how I'm using it (in home only) and the price, I believe it rated 4 stars. If you want to take it with you somewhere, I would consider a different option.
Great value, adequately stable.
July 11, 2015
For ten bucks a toss, who can quibble? I wanted something that supported the neck, because I had a couple of mishaps with other designs. These are adequately strong and stable. Contrary to some other reviewers, I noticed no smell, I had no problems with the fittings or set screws, and had no significant instability problems. The stubby rear leg is not an issue: the stand is not going to fall over backwards. True, there is more possibility of falling forwards, but careful placement of the guitar body in the swiveling lower yoke will shift the weight and improve stability. It might make a difference what instrument you're using. Or, do what I plan to do and set these against a wall so nobody will hit them from the back.My only real complaint is that the legs do not lock positively into the deployed position, but tend to pop out of position. But when standing upright, the weight of the instrument plus the weight of the stand itself negates this issue.There are plenty of instrument stands out there with more features and much better protection. They also cost many times as much. These three are now at church, holding two guitars and a bass. They'll serve for years to come.
Can't beat it for the price
September 14, 2013
This stand was actually better than I was expecting. It works great for holding my guitar. The frame itself is made from good-quality metal, and the feet and back are angled well to hold the weight without tipping, sitting rather firmly. The neck cradle is cushioned with foam, as well as the prongs that hold the body of the guitar at the bottom. the neck cradle also has a rubber peice that you can hook across to help hold the guitar inside, in case it is bumped by someone walking by. the other aspect that I like is that the prongs at the bottom actually swivle a bit, to help adjust for different body styles. So it would be a decent stand for multiple body types, not just the basic ones. I can see this stand staying with me for a long time, and was well worth what I paid for it.

Essential for performing and longer practices
It really helps!
November 14, 2016
I really like this! I wish the holder went a little bit wider so that I could slide it onto a bookshelf. Otherwise it's perfect. The violin doesn't hang by the pegs, FYI. I was kind of worried about that but it doesn't, ever. During lessons it's a lot quicker and easier to hang up the violin if I need to write something than to find a near-by safe place to set both it and the bow, do what I need to do, and then gather them both back up.
Simple, but effective.
December 6, 2015
Nothing fancy, but it works surprisingly well. The violin hangs by the scroll, not by the pegs. The bow doesn't touch the violin. Great solution for those with limited space.
This may work!!
July 20, 2014
This is a good attachment to one's stand while not using the instrument. I do worry that it my loosen if bumped. I have only used it on my stand at home. I had bought it for the purpose of attaching it to music stands outside my home. Instead of laying down my violin on a hard Church pew, I can hang it on the hanger.
Good add-on for your solid music stand
August 25, 2013
If you've got a good solid music stand, this is a clever and well-executed accessory - lets you safely and quickly hang your instrument and bow when you're interrupted or taking a quick break.
Works well with a little adjustment.
February 20, 2012
Hooks on stand very easily but the violin always seemed to rest on the bottom tuning peg as you can see in the picture. I don't like the idea of the hanger possibly throwing the violin out of tune so I made a minor adjustment. All I did to solve this was turn the hanger upside down. When you do this it levels the hanger with the floor and the violin sits on the arch at the top of the neck instead of resting on the tuning peg.

Because of how the post mounts in the base, the post isn't vertical; it tips to the side. There's no way to fix it, so the stand will always lean slightly.

Very hard to put together and doesn't fit my music book very well. Okay over all, but it has flaws
it's fine, but if I were to purchase another
December 1, 2015
I find this stand challenging to set up and just plain confusing. Last night I turned the tightening screw the wrong way and it came out. Getting it aligned and back into the hole was so challenging that I had to set my music on a chair while I fooled with the thing over the course of long rests during two pieces. Otherwise, it's fine, but if I were to purchase another, I wouldn't buy another of these, but would instead buy something with a carrying case and simpler set-up...no loose screws to tighten.
Fine for $20, but "Sturdy" is Pushing It
April 13, 2015
Fine for $20, but don't expect this to be built like the ones you may have used in high school or college.The stand is sturdy enough, but the steel for the top portion is not very thick and can bend relatively easily. It's not so thing it will bend by accident, but it's not going to stand up to any real abuse.
Not as good as it looks
May 25, 2013
Not a bad stand for the house. Fairly stable. The desk part of the stand doesn't come off without removing some screws though so its not as portable as similar style stands. Also, the desk is not well attached to the base and I can see it breaking rather easily. On the plus side it is much lighter than similar style models and the price is right. I'm a professional musician and I always keep a stand like this in the trunk of my car. I leave these at gigs quite often, so as a disposable stand that ill probably lose in the next year its pretty good. if i was planning on keeping this in the house for years I think it's just ok...

Good stand, lousy security strap
August 19, 2017
This is a good stand. It supports my guitar very well & I like how it has the appropriate lean to keep the guitar upright & safe. I gave the guitar stand a 3 because the security strap is poorly designed. When secured, it does its job. However, it is difficult to release or the anchored side pops out of the tubing. It is a quick fix to pop it back in. It is just a regular occurrence & annoying.
Light duty stand
June 7, 2017
Works fine. Nothing special. Three stars because it doesn't WOW me. It's a basic guitar stand that is light duty.
Does the job, but the design is lacking
April 22, 2017
The assembly was easy, but I kept thinking that something was wrong because there's no way to securely fasten the top piece to the bottom. I found it odd, and then I realized it's just made that way. It makes me uncomfortable because it seems unstable, but the guitar is fine. One day, I made the mistake of grabbing the stand by the top and the fell apart. Luckily, my guitar wasn't on the stand.
Ok, but one little flaw
March 13, 2017
I like the design, but they are hard to close down to a small size for transport. For some reason the inside tube will not slide easily into the outer tube. Something is stopping it move past the screw, even with is unscrewed all the way. I travel with these a lot a really needed them to fold down smaller than they do. A little disappointed.

March 10, 2017
Seemed a little unstable when first put together but once I set my guitar in it, it held it just fine. The only thing that's kind of a drag is the strap that goes across the neck of the guitar pops off sometimes when you go to get the guitar out. But it's a great product for the price!
OK but didn't fit my daughter's Epiphone Pro
February 8, 2016
It seems like an ok product but for some reason it does not fit my daughter's Epiphone Pro-1 plus acoustic guitar that we bought here on Amazon - the bottom piece is too shallow and so the guitar leans forward and would fall out if not for the crosspiece at the top - that just doesn't seem like a safe thing and so we are returning it and looking for something else. I don't think that is an odd-sized guitar but somehow it doesn't fit. I looked at the customer photos and I don't know how they got the back bar angled backward to prevent the instrument from falling forward, I think that must have been user-modified.

One needs to be careful when ordering this, that the clamp part fits your music stand.The shelf part of my stand is thicker than the one shown , so it won't fit.There is nothing wrong with the product it is high quality, just doesn't fit on my music stand. I should have measured.... what is that they say measure twice?????

Not sure if this is good for a violin
February 17, 2014
I got it for my daughter so that she doesn't have to take the violin out from the case every time she wants to play. Because the violin is not an expensive one, I don't have a concern; but for a great violin, I'd feel uneasy and that one doesn't need this gadget.

the legs fold down, making it less compact for taking to gigs. also the attachment of the stand to the music holder is not strong. it did not take long before the holder began to wobble badly. fortunately a friend was able to secure it or it would have been use-less. i would not recommend or buy again.

These are decent stands. I would only buy them if you need something cheap or purely for travel. My main complaint is that the adjustment on the back for the angle of the music holder is pretty bad. I bought two and I have to prop one on the other or else it falls flat causing music to fall over.
Not so uplifting
March 26, 2014
I am giving it a 2 star because the stand is rather small, it's not that easy to fold up and setup and in the end there are others that are better than this one. For example the Pro-Line one is a better travel one than this one (granted at a much higher cost).I also purchased another one at Guitar Center which is easier to break down and it is larger and sturdier than this one. Now if you have one of those little wire one's that fall down when you look at them then this one would be an upgrade.
Arrived without all the parts as portrayed, stealth hardware
January 6, 2014
See those little bits of hardware over to the left side of the photo? Well they are not really there. Or better stated, they are not what they look like.Of course there is one great bit of hardware that looks like one of the bits on the side that keeps the base attached to the cradle for the music, and a bolt and a butterfly nut that goes somewhere, not pictured, I haven't figured out where. Then, on closer inspection I find there are indeed two bits of hardware that look like what is pictured.But those are NOT the hardware which screws into the cradle sides and holds the book or the sheet music in place.Instead reader, we are left on our own. Perhaps the manufacturer doesn't have a book that wants to close on its own, or has never performed outdoors where there is this rare phenomena known as "wind".I will be heading to the hardware store with the cradle to craft some remedy rather than returning the stand, as it appears to be a solid stand, dare I say, Not-with-standing?Make it harder on your customers. Great way to engender loyalty. What would a couple of finger holds added to the product cost? You drilled the holes thoughtfully.There are no instructions included.
The item arrived very quickly....HOWEVER
September 3, 2013
There were not any instructions included so I immediately contacted the shipper "music 123" to see if there were instructions she could e-mail me. I was kept on the phone for 25 minutes before the young woman came back on line and said she could not figure the assembly out, that there wasn't anything she could e-mail me. My only option was to have her "technical" support team call me. I asked how long that would be and was told, 5 minutes maybe an hour or in the next couple of days. This conversation took place over a week ago and I have not heard from them.Thank you loyal Amazon purchasers. They had the same problem, figured it out and posted the instructions on the review site.I gave 2stars because the quality wasn't too bad for the price. Would I do business with this company again..NEVER

Mistake on my part
August 30, 2017
I had purchased two of the stands prior to this purchase, the quality of this one seems inferior to the prior ones I would not recommend the stand it leans back to far The build quality is subpar look somewhere else get a better one.
A whole lotta meh. Average at best.
August 25, 2017
For the price, the are ok but if I had to do it over, I would get the On Stage heavy duty stands. They are definitely built better.When tightening down the neck holder of the lighter duty stands, the head goes askew to the base. The plastic band plugs that are supposed to help keep the guitar secure pull off easily. I pulled all mine off and put a little dab of super glue to keep them from popping off. You definitely get what you pay for! I would not gig with these for sure!

For a few dollars more I could have gotten a much sturdier stand. Definitely, not what I would use for an expensive guitar. I am used to getting excellent items when sold by and through Amazon. Maybe store this one away, and buy a good sturdy stand.
Two design flaws cause instability
May 20, 2016
Two issues with this, either of which can lead to potential disaster. 1. The rear foot (the shortest one) is too short, making the stand too easy to tip backwards. I have another, similar stand, and it's engineered with a longer rear foot and is therefore much more stable. 2. The bottom brace is too wobbly, making it all too easy for a guitar not perfectly placed in the center (or not shaped perfectly round on the bottom--think Fender) to fall to one side under the weight of gravity. This almost happened to me with a very expensive stratocaster yesterday evening. I was lucky to catch the guitar in time. I would not recommend this product and will not buy another one.
Simple things not so simple
December 30, 2015
I got my first acoustic guitar for Christmas and was excited to get the stand to set it up in my home studio. However, when I got it, it was poorly manufactured. It seems simple enough for a manufacturer such as On Stage but the simplest things aren't so simple. The screw that holds the top arm in place and also allows it to slide if you loosen/tighten it was not properly molded or something so when you tighten it, it turns the top arm left.The more you tighten it the more it turns. This throws the whole guitar and thus the whole stand off making it no better than standing it up against the wall. I will be returning this and asking for a refund. Quite disappointed, not sure how it had such good reviews.UPDATE:Amazon Basics has a GREAT guitar stand for about $13. Very solid, very sturdy and low potential to break. Much better option.
Don't buy if you actually want a locking stand.
December 17, 2015
Stand is fine other than the completely useless "locking" mechanism which was my primary reason for purchasing.The top "U" has push-on plastic endcaps, with essentially a rubber band between them. When locked it's not too bad - but "unlocking" is pretty problematic. Since the plastic pieces just push on, the typically simply slide on when you are attempting to remove the "band" - only they are not supposed to and the plastic piece falls out of the band and rolls around on the flood.If you try what I did and use your thumb on the center of the plastic piece to stabilize it while removing the band the top of the plastic piece will fall off after a few times rendering the locking mechanism useless.

The stand needs to be balance!!!
Not secure enough
September 8, 2016
It's held on to the sheet music stand by a single screw. This means that regardless of how much you tighten it, it will always be very easy to turn sideways.
The Connection is strong, but the stands balance "CAN" be weak.
April 30, 2016
I have been playing the violin for 15 years, and I have seen too many stands fall over, the tightness of the connection between the hook and stand is very strong, and the violin will likely not fallout. However, if the stand is topples the damage to the violin could be very bad. I keep my violins hanging on the wall using a string swing, however, stands are often unreliable in balance, and easily topple over if bumped. I would be very leery to leave my violin hanging in such predicaments.
Not a good idea. The Violin can fall down

Disappointed
February 3, 2015
Unfortunately, I don't love this item. It puts too much pressure on the pegs, causing them to turn. Great idea though.

This didn't come with instructions. It seemed to want to set itself up, upside down. Bio hiss!! I feel I lost money!
Useless

It's in the corner of my room, sadly collecting dust because it is completely useless. I am a professional musician and this music stand just did not hold up! (Quite literally). Awful awful awful DONT BUY
if you'd like your music to constantly fall on the floor
January 15, 2017
Just put it together...if you'd like your music to constantly fall on the floor..this is the stand for YOU...The 'thumb screw' you need to tighten down to keep it stable would have to be so tight, it removes the portability of the stand.Garbage
doesn't stay up
December 4, 2014
I bought this for my boys to use for orchestra and soon after we got it, someone pushed it down too hard or twisted it or something and it won't stay up and tighten. Luckily, one son plays the cello and it works ok for that.

August 30, 2014
This stand is cheaply made. And the reviews on this item are confusing, because it seems as though they are referring to a different item than what I received in the mail. When taking it out of the box, I spent a good 30 min just trying to repair the broken plastic ring that suposendly tightens the stand at different lengths. Lol. It didn't work. I ended up having to go to Home Depot to find a replacement part, as I didn't have time to wait for another stand to arrive in the mail.
Must constantly adjust, doesn't stay as set
March 19, 2013
Stand doesn't stay in position as I set it, especially when I pick it up and move it a few feet from one location to another. The legs collapse, or one leg goes off kilter, and I have to re-position legs, straighten stand to level position, and re-tighten knob. Also the top knob does the same. Pole doesn't stay firmly in place and I have to re-position where I'd like it and re-tighten knob. Wouldn't buy this stand again for that reason.

Terrible, horrible, don't waste you time or money, these are JUNK
September 19, 2017
Of these 3, only one could be assembled from the parts provided. For the one I could put together, there is nothing secure about this product. Everything is loose, unbalanced, poor quality. The others couldn't be assembled because they arrived broken (poor quality plastic pegs that are supposed to hold the neck strap in place were broken off--no pieces in box which suggests these were broken prior to packing) as well as one neck strap was just not present. This falls into the category of "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is". I should have known better. Please learn from my mistake.
The guitar stands are great, especially for the price
May 31, 2017
The guitar stands are great, especially for the price, but one of the 3 was missing a piece at the top that holds the guitar in place. Not worth the hassle to return.
Cheap and not worth it
April 13, 2017
The stand didn't come with any instructions and it's wobbly. The neck moves around I am not confident of letting it hold my guitar. I'm going to purchase another stand as this really isn't up to the quality I am used to.

April 1, 2017
When I assembled this stand and found that the bottom "yoke" guitar rest swivels with NO LOCKING NUT at the back I knew I had bought a piece of crap! Are guitar stands supposed to swivel on the bottom rest? Who in their right mind would risk putting their prized instruments on this stand? Well under $15 bucks I should have know better!!
Very cheap, mine broke on the initial setup. Only buy this if you are looking for an excuse to call Amazon support for a return.
August 6, 2016
I opened the box, slid the top metal bar vertically down into the base, went to attach the tightening screw... it the hole was too big for the tightening screw to do anything. So, RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, the thing was useless. I was so disappointed because I own a B.C. Rich Warlock that can only be hung from its headstock, making floor stands difficult to find. The product is made from cheap and hollow [what feels like] aluminum... reminiscent of the cheap lawn chairs from the 1970's trailer parks.The only good thing from this was Amazon's support and they took care of my problem the day it arrived with a refund -- since I definitely didn't want another one of these terrible stands.
Not Sturdy. The FretRest from Guitar Center is worth the extra $8.
May 24, 2016
I have a couple of FretRest guitar stands I bought from Guitar Center (HT1010). They're $8 more so I figured these were probably the same thing, probably from the same factory in China, just with a different label. Save $8 why not right? Nope. They probably used about one-third less material so that's where some of that $8 savings came from.I immediately noticed how much shorter the back/middle leg was compared to the FretRest stand. But then I thought, maybe the FR is just unnecessarily long and this short one might work fine. I put my guitar on it, and pushed it (while holding it) and compared the two, and this one definitely doesn't put up much resistance at all. With a little push the thing will fall right back. The FretRest will actually hold it even with 2-3 times the pressure. That's the biggest problem.But everywhere else you look, the rubber feet, way smaller, the rubber latch, smaller, even the metal tubing is about one-third smaller.I have some fairly nice guitars, but even if I just had a basic guitar I probably wouldn't try to save the $8 and put it on this stand. It might be fine, but I'd rather spend an extra $8 and get a stronger stand.Take a look at the attached photos. The "On Stage" one is on the left. The "FretRest" from Guitar Center is on the right in all the pictures. And no, I don't work for Guitar Center or even particularly like them, but the stand from them is better than this one.

Returned this item. The weight of the violin and bow pulled the music stand down. Too bad because I thought the design was clever.
