Good for students
March 15, 2017
My kids use these to practice their instruments at home. Two of them sit to practice and the other stands and the height is adjustable enough that they're all happy. Sometimes individual sheets of music fall off, but if you put a practice book on it, put the sheet in front of the book, and then use the little arms to hold it on, that usually works good. I recommend these for students who need a stand at home to practice with. It also folds up nice to be able to take elsewhere, if needed.
It is very easy to assemble and fold up again
November 14, 2016
I purchased this music stand as I needed something that was light and inexpensive. I was thrilled with the quality as well as how compactly it folds up.The music stand can be raised and lowered to different heights. It is very easy to assemble and fold up again.The stand holds music nicely and the chrome finish looks nice as well.
simple and elegant stand!
July 28, 2016
I am glad I went with this purchase. It is a GREAT value for something under 8 bucks. It comes in a nice vintage looking white box and its very easy to assemble! It does come with a light coat of oil so don't be surprised. You might think it is flimsy but it does the job just right. If you are rough on your instruments and stands I probably wouldn't suggest this one but I just keep my guitar method book on here and it does the job. When I am sitting on the bed or in a chair it can be lowered to the perfect height. One thing though I would improve is where the book holder attaches to the boom (or straight tube). It is not weak at this joint but the machining could be a bit better. Where it attaches there is a lot of give on mine and the sheet holder seems to have a hard time staying leveled. However when you put a book on it, it does not wobble at all. Nothing a little bit of soldering can't fix. If you are a traveling musician this is a must have. Its dirt cheap and gets you by, easily collapsible into nothing and looks great. I love the "hamilton no. ....." engravement on the stand, it makes it look very vintage! For those who are saying this is a bad stand I don't think you understand you are buying a STAND for under 8 bucks. You can barely buy anything with 8 bucks nowadays but this is just a steal! don't think twice, get it.
Perfect for my needs!
June 17, 2016
Such a great little portable stand! Now I have something decent to use when practicing violin or learning something new on the guitar reading tab, and when I'm done, all I have to do is fold it up and put it away! It does what it needs to do and should last if taken care of, considering the great low price there are probably more sturdy stands out there but if you're like me (a college student with no kids) and all you want is a nice portable stand, this is it!
This music stand is THE BEST. it was easy to install and super sturdy
November 3, 2015
This music stand is THE BEST. It was easy to install and super sturdy. It withstands living in a room with an overactive 10 year old boy and his overactive dog. It doesn't take up too much space and is easy to transport when he decides he wants to give us concerts in the living room with his violin. It is easily adjustable, which is AWESOME because at just turning 10 a few weeks ago, my son is towering at 5 ft 5 inches.
Great music stand - professional quality on a student's budget!
April 17, 2014
When picking out a music stand I wanted one that would last. I bought this to replace an old one from MANY years ago that just wasn't sturdy enough to hold anything heavier than sheet music. This one comfortably holds music books! It is NOT the stand to purchase if you are looking for portability as it does not collapse as small as others. If you are looking for a stand that is sturdy, looks nice, and holds books, then this is the one for you.

Basic product, but at a basic price
January 29, 2017
Understand what you're getting. This isi a lightweight and somewhat flimsy music stand. But it's also dirt cheap. I needed some music stands that were dirt cheap, and these do what I wanted them to do at a cheap price.
good for travel.
December 21, 2016
Kinda flimsy but a good product for the price. I made a music stand for a keyboard and it seems fine. I would recommend as a travel stand but not a full time stand.

December 2, 2016
It works very well and folds up nicely. The feet have small rubber covers to protect my wooden floors but they fall off very often when the stand is picked up. They should have been glued in place.
Great, no frills music stand.
October 11, 2016
If you are looking for a lightweight, no frills music stand than look no further. I have a couple of these and they hold up very well. You can adjust the height as well as the angle. It is made entirely of metal. No plastic here. The chrome is a nice touch so it doesn't look cheap at all. It is very compact so you can fit it just about anywhere. This is a great little music stand.
Nice inexpensive music stand.
November 5, 2015
I just received this stand in the mail & promptly set it up. It goes together easily & smoothly. It's not as compact as I was hoping but, it's not going to be traveling. For the price $8 it should serve it's intended purpose just fine! I'm hoping the negative reviews were wrong!
A nice music stand at a good price, but with limited adjustability
June 15, 2015
It does the job, although it isn't nearly as nice as a Hamilton folding stand I got as a present 15 years ago. This one has only two vertical sections and no adjustability of the bottom mechanism. As a consequence its minimum height is a little higher than I would like, as I sometimes like my music stand to be lower so that others can see my masterful guitar picking. All kidding aside, I use the older stand for gigging and I find the stand is less of a distraction to the audience if it is quite low. This one couldn't be used that low. The stand would have to be up in front of the guitar, which is probably fine for most students, but not ideal for me.

September 30, 2017
I am eight years old and I play guitar I wish the stand would actually stay apart and not tip or fall over my mom wanted it to be a surprise but it was not in a package so I could see it I wish you made it with a different material or make it more sturdy you're not make it tip or fall or make it wobbly I wish I could actually stand up on its own But I still used it I want to make adjustments for other kids to buy it I still play guitar
They're okay.
May 20, 2017
These are a little wobbly. I got them for students to use, but on my carpet they can get a little tipsy. they're not so bad that I'm going to buy something else though. I'll just put up with it and be careful with them.
Cheap but With Flaws
February 26, 2017
This is a solid cheap stand that will be perfectly serviceable to you *but* it has a few flaws. When you take it apart to carry it to and from wherever, the bottom part of the stand is pretty long and it may make it impossible to seal it in your carrying bag. The other problem with this is that the top of the stand, the part that you rest your music on, doesn't flatten fully and instead forms a V shape of sorts, like a 170 degree angle instead of a flat 180. That can make it difficult to place your sheet music onto and you might be the person who keeps dropping their music in class.Otherwise, this is a pretty sturdy build and very cheap. I'd suggest shopping other cheap stands before buying this one but if this is the cheapest available and you don't mind what I described above, this will get the job done.
You get what you pay for.
December 29, 2016
Giving it 3 stars because it was obviously opened before and returned. The heigh adjustment clamp comes off anytime I try to extend the height. The metal is a little beat up as well. Still functions fine and no reason to send back and go through that hassle. It's cheap and does the job.
and it's a great height. Just if you try to move the ...
July 23, 2016
Took a little bit to figure out how to set up, and it's a great height. Just if you try to move the stand it may just fall apart on you, and you cannot angle the part of the stand that holds the music.
You get what you pay for
April 5, 2016
you get what you pay for. it's function, but cheaply made. the music rest is very loose and tilts significantly if you put any unbalanced weight on it (such as just standing a new music book, the music stand will tilt heavily to the right). still, for 7.70, or whatever I paid - I can hardly complain,

Cheap but you get what you pay for...
August 4, 2017
I bought this stand about a year ago and seldom have used it. About a few months and 1 performance later one of the plastic caps at the bottom of the stand started falling off, and then the next one, and then finally all of them came off. The top clamp for the stand also came off which prevented me from adjusting the height of the stand at all. If you are looking for a quality stand that will last I do not recommend this one.

May 25, 2016
Very unstable, somewhat uncomfortable to use, one of the parts was bent due to shipping, had to return it.
Not Happy with Height and Quality
April 25, 2016
Music stand is barely tall enough for me to use when I stand to play my violin. I am 5 foot 4 inches, the average height for a woman. Also, when I put it all the way up, it is not as sturdy and wiggles and slants. I am disappointed with the quality. I use to have a Hamilton stand made in the 80's, but considering this modern version is so inexpensive, perhaps I need to adjust my attitude and put up with the fact that the stand is not sturdy for a musician who stands. If you stand when you play and are taller than my height, find a different stand.
Not sturdy for regular travel
November 13, 2013
We use this stand regularly. The feet have fallen off. The part the holds the stand is wobbly. If youtravel with your folding stand regularly I would suggest you buy a better stand. This one will not last.
It holds my music, kind of
December 2, 2012
First of all, this stand is not sturdy at all. I actually bent it a little just putting it together. I have a song book that really isnt very heavy. I put it on this stand, and now the shelf is crooked from the weight. Its very wobbly, and sometimes it falls when I change music. Do not recomend

Defective product!
April 7, 2017
I bought two stands for an upcoming student recital and both are defective! The rivet behind the stand that holds the rod is upside down and makes both stands completely useless. Waste of time and money! Please do not purchase these stands!!!!
I chose this one because of the great reviews and price
April 5, 2017
When I was browsing through the different music stands, I chose this one because of the great reviews and price. When I was trying to put the stand together, I realized that the pieces didn't fit with each other, making the stand useless. Overall, I would not recommend this product, and don't be fooled by the reviews and price!

March 30, 2017
My stand is defective and I am very hesitant to purchase a replacement... The top bracket, which supports the area for material, is riveted on upside down, making the stand unusable.
Suck
March 27, 2017
Came broken and they suck
Holds 1 sheet of music.
September 9, 2016
Very flimsy
Unusably poor quality
May 29, 2016
The joint between the pole and top of the music stand is sloppy resulting in over an inch of movement at the top of the stand. It will not reliably hold up a light weight 1 inch 3 ring binder.
