Fun Generation Orchestra Stand

So this is really nit picky, but when I put it together I almost immediately noticed something was off but couldn't quite work it out.

Eventually I had it in front of something level and noticed the actual music platform was tilted.

Wasn't the stand as that was perfectly straight, and wasn't the connection as it's of a somewhat dovetail design and will always sit straight every time.

It was the male connection welded off centre to the platform - the worst part is there are 2 holes which would line it up everytime in a jig in a factory setting had they used it.

What ended up happening is I just twisted it to break the welds and used the 2 line-up holes to thread bolts through and now it's perfectly straight and works flawlessly.

The overall materials feel sturdy and are of decent quality, the adjustment pieces don't feel cheap - while yes plastic they don't feel like they're going to break as I have had happen on other branded or unbranded cheap stands - the hinge for the platform is softer more hard rubber-like and really lets you tighten down properly and seems very unlikely to wear out compared to a hard plastic one.

My only complaint is the floor space and slight cumbersome nature which isn't specific to this make and model, just the 3 leg design used across many musical instrument stands which makes for slightly awkward handling.

Overall very happy, after sorting the twist it holds the music great at the angle and level I need it.

I bought this stand as a practice tool at home. It's great for the purpose, because it folds into a slim profile - perfect to lean on a wall or tuck it under/behind a piece of furniture if you want to have it out of sight.

I use the stand for printed guitar tabs along with a phone or tablet. There's enough room for 2 A4 sheets side by side and a phone. Bare in mind that the platform is foldable and held in place by friction - I wouldn't trust it with anything heavy and fragile as it might tilt back in case it is not tight enough.

As can be seen in the photos - it's a tube construction with a stamped piece of sheet metal to hold your scores, which helps bring the weight down. All fasteners turn by hand and you don't need any special tools.

Overall, I am very hapy with my purchase and would recommend this stand based on my experience so far.
