Thomann Orchestra Stand Symphonia 50

Great-looking, well finished and discreet stand. It looks nice enough to be in my living room permanently and wouldn't attract any attention on stage, all the black parts are nicely matted.
One-hand operation works fine, just put your foot on one of the feet and lift the upper part. The friction is enough to keep up even big books but not so much it's hard to lift. If you share a stand with different musicians or play both standing and sitting, this is worth the extra bit of cash compared to screw-operated stands.
When extended it's still a bit wobbly, make sure the bottom screw is tight for maximum stability. The bottom screw construction is good for the price, but I wouldn't expect it to last long in heavy (touring) use.
