K&M - Konig & Meyer 10700.000.55 Extra Heavy Duty Music Stand - Adjustable Angle Desk - Sturdy - Easy to Fold - Compact - Professional Grade for Musicians - German Made - Black

I love this stand. It is simply the best one I could find!

As a professional musician, I've been through a few folding stands. They are typically flimsy, unstable, and I can't get them tall enough to comfortably play from a standing position.Then I found this one. It's built like a tank. The adjustable legs can give it a wide stance so it's very stable. It's very solidly (over) built so it won't blow over in the first gentle wind that hits it (though any stand can be blown over if the wind is fierce enough). As for height, I can actually make this one too tall for standing use (though why would I do that? :) ). The desk is also adjustable, from straight up and down to tilted like an old big band stand.It gets used at least twice a week and I've had it about 4 months. It's been great. Expect the paint/powdercoat to wear off around the joints due to normal friction when opening it.It might be overkill, but it's great and I don't expect to have to buy another folding stand any time soon.

I purchased this stand 3 years ago. The first 2 years it got only occasional use as it is very heavy and hard to carry around. It was great for use in a wind. The 3rd year, I used it weekly for rehearsal. After 3 years of the 5 year company warranty, the desk portion started falling. It would only hold very light music. Medium weight music would cause the top of the stand to unexpectedly fall backwards hitting people in front of me and dumping my music. I examined it and found the desk tightening mechanism was stripped. Since it was still under warranty I contact both the German office of K &M and the New York office of K & M by email, a total of 3 times. They finally answered my e mail and informed me that stripped parts are not covered under warranty, but they would accommodate me and send me a new plastic washer. This stand is too expensive to not last.

I recently travels overseas to sing in an Advent Choir tour. Our group consisted of people from all over the globe and many different brands/styles of music stands were present. There were some that were even more sturdy than this one but they had a one-piece music holder. The foldable music tray/holder of the K&M gives the right balance of sturdiness and portability...it fits in my luggage.

This music stand was recommended to me by a fellow musician. Because I had a similar music stand that was cheap,flimsy and just plain lousy. In fact it was so bad,I got rid of it! So now,through this company,I ordered this one. What an improvement from that cheap piece of junk I got rid of! It's very sturdy,it holds well and it folds neatly. The ONLY issue I have with it is....that even when it's folded,it's still very long. That's why I gave it four stars instead of five stars.

Much sturdier than the "heavy-duty" stand, also goes a couple of inches taller. It does not sway with my music in a heavy 3 ring binder as the cheaper stands do.Differently, the better choice for outdoor gigs, as the broader rubber feet don't sink in theground like the cheap wire ones do.

I was very impressed with this stand. It will hold a 2-inch 3-ring binder full of music with no problem. Very stable and well constructed. Definitely recommend this stand, if you need a heavy duty stand. The only down side is it is a little heavy compared to other stands, but that is to be expected since it is constructed of heavy duty materials and much stronger than any other stand I have seen. I would recommend getting the carrying bag that goes with it.

I love the versatility of this stand. Short to as tall as you need. The table tilts to a broad range of angles. The legs open to a broad base to more narrow if space is an issue. The stand is also quite sturdy and reliable. And of course, I love how the whole stand folds down to a small, easy to transport package. I'll get years of daily use out of this one.

No it’s not lightweight, that’s the point! It is brilliantly heavyweight, but collapsible. The first stand that I have found in many, many years of playing that is robust enough for outdoor gigs and made to last years of rehearsals. If it ever breaks - I will buy the same again.

A super stand - bulky if you need to transport it- but I do have the bag to make it easier. Love it!

Good quality to product. Well made. Does the job

Best stand I have owned. Strong, very stable on uneven ground and windy conditions. A little on the heavy side, but that is what makes it such a sturdy stand.

Very bulky - but absolutely perfect if you want a sturdy stand :-)
