| This stand works great for me in my living roomAugust 2, 2017 This stand works great for me in my living room. It's all I was looking for in a stand. Sets up and folds up easily, but it does take some effort to zip up the carry case. I'm not gonna drop my rating for a cheap carry bag. The light that comes with the stand is a great bonus. I recommend this stand for anyone that just wants something they can use for practice at home that can be easily be put out of the way when finished. This is a great portable Stand for both books and sheet musicJune 28, 2017 This is a great portable Stand for both books and sheet music. I have a small group of beginning string players and I have a couple of these as not everyone had a stand. I have encouraged my string parents to purchase this one. Not only do they hold up well to the constant travel of weekly in and out of the car, but they don't take up a lot of room on the floor when sitting next to another musician. The springs for holding music down are perfect, they have just the right amount of tension and can be easily moved out of the way so as not to interfere with lesson books as well. I also liked the little detail at the top. I most likely will purchase more of these as I feel they are a good value. Surprisingly sturdyMay 10, 2017 I used music stands like this growing up, and without fail they were all finicky rubbish that loved to collapse and dump your music at a moments notice.Given the low price, I just assumed I'd be cursing my children to the same fate.HOWEVER- I was pleasantly surprised that not only does this stand up well, but it is also really sturdy and doesn't just flop around like the stands from my childhood. Hurray!Very happy :-D Lightweight but do the jobFebruary 29, 2016 LOVE these stands! They are lightweight but do the job. My ten year old daughters play the flute and needed something small and lightweight for both practicing at home and the occasional show. These more than fit the bill. I was very impressed what we received for the price (around $13). They were easy to assemble and come with a carrying case. I keep them assembled in the corner for when my daughters want to practice and they don't take up a lot of space. Also, they have clips to hold their music. All in all, a great purchase! Great for home practicesNovember 2, 2014 Great for home practices. My daughter took up an instrument at school and was not learning too quick, so we bought this so she could study at home. Works perfect and great with a small bench chair. Doesnt take much room at all and folds up into almost nothing when you are done. Sturdy enough for large books. Fantastic Lightweight Music Stand! UPDATEDOctober 14, 2014 Our family has several of this type low-cost, lightweight music stand. But the ChromaCast version is my favorite of all. It seems to be a little sturdier, and a little easier to set up. The folding action is very smooth, and the spring arms are much sturdier and more useful than on our stands from other manufacturers.Purchasers need to understand what these are, and what their intended use is. They are not for holding big, heavy books. They are for holding sheet music or lightweight music books.UPDATE (09/10/2015): After almost a year of use, this stand is still just like new. And it has been folded and unfolded many times now. This was a tremendous value considering the quality for the price. | | | | |

| Good for the priceMay 24, 2017 Good for the price. It's a little flimsy but does the job. I would have liked to have some better written instructions for assembly. I felt that the instructions for this product was very vague and not that helpful. I recommend this product for students or someone who is just learning and doesn't want to spend a lot of money. If you need a music stand quickly, this is very good. It's lightweight and easy to pack or store away. This is good for loose paper, if you like to print out your music, just tack it on the stand with a fridge magnet and it won't fly away. If you have a heavy music book or a paper music book, you'll need to tilt the stand according to the heaviness of your book. I would tilt the stand more for light music books as they tend to slide right off otherwise. Sounds like common sense but anyway, this is what it is for the price. It does the job well. Nice Cheap Music Stand....May 1, 2017 My son needed a music stand and we wanted one that he could take to "concerts" with him.This one is cheap is and fits our needs perfect however I'm not sure how long it will last. He is in 5th grade and started to play the trumpet but we weren't sure if he would stick with it so we didn't want to invest too much in a stand.The directions that came with it were all wrong. They were for the guitar stand but it wasn't that hard to figure out how to set it up. The light is nice and the sand fold easily in the bag. The bag is nice and compact and it's light enough to carry around with the trumpet. Not bad for the price.March 10, 2017 Nice for the price. The material that it is made with seems a bit cheap but that is probably why the price is what it is. I love that it comes with a carrying case. It is a nice stand for a student who will be gentle with it. Not recommended for younger students if they have to set it up frequently. It is easy to set up and I like the paper holders. If it were made of sturdier material I would love it even more. Again, I got this for a student who did not have a stand at home and it serves its purpose. It remains intact and works nicely for our lessons. like I think junior high band if im honestNovember 8, 2016 Ordered this stand for my novice aspirations in music. Does what it says it does. It's been a bit since I used a music stand, like I think junior high band if im honest. So I cannot confidently stand up for any music stand out there. I mean to me it's just a bunch of sticks fastened together.Maybe there are better out there, who knows. But for the price I like this one. It's a bit flimsy and more so on the cheap side, but it does what it sets out to do and I like that it has a carrying case. The whole thing sort of feels like a cheap camera tripod with a sheet music holder placed atop instead of a camera. The little springy flexible metal bottom pieces which clip down the actual music could be built a bit better but again for the price and a casual learning or leisurely active musician I can't see that being a deal breaking issue. I would imagine if you are performing or at any level beyond tinkering at home this might not be the best choice, but at that point you probably have more access and knowledge to bigger and better things.I like this stand and hope you do too. Nice lightweight music standOctober 3, 2016 Works well a lightweight stand for my son to use for home practice. locks in place correctly and will stay at the correct height and will hold a folder or thin band book of music.The page holders work well holding the pages open on his band book. legs could be a little more stouter as the flex quite a bit. Comes with its own zippered carry case with two handgrips It has a good thick coat of black paint that seems not to chip easily. For a inexpensive lightweight music stand works well for a begining band student. Stand supports three pages wideFebruary 18, 2015 At 20 inches wide I was hoping this stand was wide enough to hold a three page song without needing to turn pages. As seen in the photo this is possible. Yea! The photo uses back illumination so you see the support areas behind the music. The page clips work very nice. I like the fact that it's matte black and not chrome which is distracting to (and from) the performer. The base and extension pole proves sturdy enough to place sheet music one at a time. I put a 40 page practice book on it as well with no problem, but you will not be placing a 1 inch thick 'fake book' of music on this stand. Don't expect too much from a portable. The shelf that the music sits on is about 3/4 inch deep. The top of the page as shown is 4' 2" from the floor; which is about as high as I feel comfortable with. In the nylon zippered carry case it weighs just 1000 grams (2 lbs) - about the weight of a can of spaghetti sauce. At a great price I bought 2 and am happy. | | | | |

| Not very durable, but you get what you pay forOctober 29, 2017 It gets the job done and does fold up nicely, but I have two gripes. First, it's really easy to lose the screws that hold the stand together; I lent my stand to someone for a rehearsal and now I have one fewer screw. Second, I've been using it once a week (2 hrs/week) for about six months, and already it's starting to slide down even with just a couple sheets of paper on it. I used to have one of those silver folding stands, and that lasted a couple of years before it the top part would slide down and be usable only on the shortest height. On the bright side, I do like that there's a bag that comes with the stand. Decent product for the price.September 21, 2017 This item seems to perform fair. The bag ripped at the zipper on the first day. And takes a little work to get it to hold book pages. All in all, it performs fair and it's a good product for the price you pay. A good first stand. If your child is serious about music, you will want to upgrade to a better stand. Great device, poor quality control.September 19, 2017 I ordered two.The first one was in great condition, and everything worked perfectly. I'm quite happy with this one.The second one, however, had a hole that was not threaded at all, and was so big that the screw that goes there to adjust the height of the stand would simply slide in and out. I should have probably returned it, but it was over 30 days before I assembled the second one. My loss.I would have loved these, but the lack of quality control on that second one makes this a questionable product. Convenient, but seems a little flimsyJuly 24, 2017 It is definitely very light, compact and easy to transport, but it a bit on the flimsy side. You have to really torque the nuts to get it to stay in place. One really nice feature is the springs that hold the music in place. They do a great job of keeping both books and sheet music flat on the stand. The stand folds up and down nicely. It has strong spring loaded arms to hold ...February 13, 2017 The stand folds up and down nicely. It has strong spring loaded arms to hold the pages. It has a generous backing for larger books/papers. It packs away into a long roundish bag that has a carry handle and zips end to end. The reason I didn't give it more stars is because the bag is extremely cheap and the zipper is plastic. I put the stand in the bag and upon first use the slider head puled off of one side of the chain. I was able to get it back together and upon trying to zip again...off it came. I emailed the seller asking for a replacement bag or an upgrade to a bag with a metal zipper. I received no response. Again, stand - nice, zipper/bag - garbage. To contain the stand and the poles, I put everything in the bag then wrap Velcro straps at each end. Spring clips are a nuisance.November 19, 2016 I think the story is here is that you get what you pay for. The stand itself is okay, but not super sturdy, but it folds up nice and small, so good in that way. The ridge to hold your books is kind of narrow, so only one book at a time. My main complaint is the "clips." They are two pieces of steel rod with a spring in the middle to make it bendable. When I first set it up, it was so tight I could barely get my book under it. Plus, you have to put in one side at a time, which can be tricky. Then it only took about 2 days for one of the springs to get twisted and not hold on to the book at all. I had to twist it and bend it back in shape to get it to hold down.I have been trying to figure out a way to make it easier to work these clips when I'm turning pages. I don't think there is with this type of spring clip. Wish I had looked around a bit more and got something else. | | | | |

| Not stable. Money better spent elsewhere.September 17, 2017 Not as stable as it should be. When you place a music sheet book on it, the side of the book with more pages weighs heavier than the opposite side causing it to slump on that side. There is no way to resolve the issue either. I'd recommend buying another one. Unless you use single sheet music. Definitely not for traveling or at full height - cheaply madeSeptember 4, 2017 I'm so disappointed. When it says its designed for affordability - its not lying. . that's all its designed for. Its made of so many pieces. There is no easy extension of anything. You have to break this thing down into several different pieces to get it in and out of the bag. You can't extend it to its full height, its so wobbly. There' s no way it can hold anything other than sheet music, this thing would topple right over. Luckily my child plays that tuba and will be sitting down so we don't need the full height of it. This thing was affordable, and I'm grateful for that but it certainly isn't easily portable or sturdy. If you need something that is sturdy, or that will be used often with transporting, or something that requires playing an instrument while standing . . get something else, you will be *really* disappointed. Would not recommendAugust 28, 2017 The stand was difficult to put together because of the low quality. The screws were stripped- the stand does not stay at the same height because you cannot tighten it enough. The top portion will support pages only, but not a music book- falls forward easily. bag was ripped upon delivery. Will work fine set up in the room with some replacement hardware and not moving but will not travel well. Far from greatJune 27, 2017 Bought it in January it is now June and I am looking to replace it. My 9 year old cannot get it tight enough to stay up. You think it is good and then accidentally touch it and it sinks. It is only used in the house we do not travel with it and case broke by the end of February. We need something a slight bit sturdier. DisappointingApril 5, 2017 It won't hold up a music book or a ring binder.The post clamps don't tighten up enough to prevent the shaft from sliding down from the weight of a song book or a binder with song sheets or sheet music in it. It is only capable of holding a few sheets of paper at a time. OK for a few songs but not for a concert. Seek an alternativeFebruary 19, 2016 very flimsy though cheap. the ledge cannot hold more than sheet music (not even the thinnest music book) as it is only 3/4 inch deep. Also, the height is NOT 50-something inches- that is only to the highest point! The maximum REAL height of the music ledge is 35 INCHES and that is at full extension, rendering it WOBBLY. Seek an alternative for another $10. The case (which is 4" - 5" too long for it) would better be left out of the "deal", adding the extra 5 cent value of the case to sturdier material for the stand. The mechanical fittings are all plastic. The one I gave away (it was older, but excellent quality) was 100o/o chromed steel, sturdy, and taller, if need be | | | | |

| Didn't last.November 2, 2017 You get what you pay for. It's quite flimsy and light. The plastic covers for the tripod disappeared within days since they didn't fit tightly. Then one of the knobs that adjust the height of the stand developed a striped screw. We can no longer adjust the height properly since the knob would not grip the pole. It also makes the pole spin with the lightest touch. We've had it only for a few months. Now we have to pay a bit more for a heavy duty one because this one is junk. WHERE IS CUSTOMER SERVICE? MINE ARRIVED BROKEN.September 30, 2017 I have used other ChromaCast products in the past and have been very happy with them.I bought this stand less than six months ago, and it has sat gently in its little package until I needed it for a gig tonight.I took it out of its bag and started to put it together, and the thing is already broken.Either I was sold a used item (I bought it NEW), or it is defective.There is a nut missing that allows the telescoping pieces to fit together, and it looks like someone forced the two pieces together, breaking off a tab which is required for it to stay in place.Basically what I have now is an utterly useless pile of pieces which are good for nothing unless they send me replacement parts.Alas, I have no way to contact the company to see about achieving this.As I said, ChromaCast stands have been great for all my instruments and music stands--I have been a fan. Until now. Cheap - don't waste your time!September 12, 2017 As soon as I pulled the pieces of the stand out of the bag, a nut fell out and I couldn't figure out where it came from.. The thumb screws would not tighten enough to hold up the stand at all (perhaps related to the mystery nut?). When attempting to put the pieces of the stand back into the bag, the zipper broke. Cheap all the way around! While it was light and would be perfect for my daughter to transport if she ever needed to, it seemed so flimsy that even if I had been able to get the stand to extend to its full height it probably would have bent or broken easily. Parts fall off during assemblySeptember 12, 2017 This stand comes in pieces. You have to loosen thumb screws to connect rods. When the thumbscrews are loosened, a loose nut falls out and you have to put it back in which isn't an easy task. This makes it so that once you have it together, you don't want to loosen those thumb screws and have the nut fall out again...meaning this is not good to travel with and is poorly designed. Do not waste your moneyAugust 10, 2017 Plastic holding the stand together broke the 2nd time assembled. Very weak. Can only hold a few sheets of paper. Very flimsy. Mostly plastic. Do not waste your money. Buy a better quality stand that will be much sturdier. Didn't even realize there was a 30 day return window so I can't even get my money back. What a waste. Too flimsy. We bought 3 only 1 still has ...April 13, 2017 Too flimsy. We bought 3 only 1 still has it's screws in it. The washers just fall off with normal wear. We do move the stand approx. twice a month to attend orchestra location. So disappointing. | | | | |
