Startone Music Stand Blue

This stand is a good choice if you wish to keep one handy but you don't want a product that takes too much space when stored.
This is the reason I purchased it and it surely doesn't disappoint everything considered: it is made of metal, you can adjust height, tripod dimension and even inclination of the sheet music desk, and it can be used even when sitting.
However the low weight of the stand, convenient when carrying it around in an instrument case, is the biggest flaw: the assembled stand is somehow a little flimsy, not very stable but overall not at all unusable.
It is an affordable, nice stand for indoor use but I definitely wouldn't recommend it to be used outdoors (for instance on live performances, on windy days, etc) because of the stability issue and the light weight.
The folding and assembling may seem a little confusing at first, but with a little practice it can be put together or folded away in less than a minute.
Overall for the price paid it doesn't disappoint: it suits well anyone looking for a stand to use indoors, to be compact, lightweight and easy to carry around.

its a low price product, which is fuly functional.
example - the sheet music holding area on mine was not perfectly straight the way the top frame appears, when fuly folded out, it was off by a few degrees, but this was just adjusted by me bending the top of the stand slightly, at teh connection area where the metal is thinner, i knew it wouldnt damage the stand, and it corrected the alighnment . just an example of what to possibly expect in terms of defect, that should not put a buyer off.
its certainly heavy and balanced enough,

this will last years with reasonable, and careful use.

We bought a number of these: Startone Music Stands, which come in a choice of 3 colours, Red; Blue & Black. It's a bit of a fiddle when it comes to erecting, & folding it up. Just as you think you've got the hang of it, frustratingly it turns into a Chinese Puzzle again. You normally find that you get what you pay for & although it is quite well made for the money, it lets itself down in its practicality of use. It is light in weight & does fold down into a handy, portable size. It would be usefull if it came with a cover to pop it into when not in use, or on the move, but for the money you couldn't expect one. All-in-All, if you are able to leave it erected most of the time, then it's a good buy, but if you have to erect it & fold it down regularly & can afford to, then pay pay a bit more for a more user friendly, music stand.
