Stellar Labs Heavy Duty Keyboard Stand (555-13830)

Price paid: $45.48 ($34.99 + $10.49 shipping) on 2013-07-24.I was looking for a good quality stand for a 31 lbs keyboard that would allow the player to sit comfortably while playing. So, X or XX stands were not an option because of their design having the supporting bars on the way of the player's knees. I had to get a Z stand or equivalent. Considering the price and quality of all options that qualified, this stand was a very easy choice. It would have been even easier, if I had a very heavy keyboard.This stand is similar to a Z stand with an additional supporting bar for each side. So, it should be more stable than a normal Z stand. The height adjustment notches are just about 1.5 inches apart starting at a very low height. Nobody should have trouble getting the perfect keyboard height with this stand. The same goes for the width adjustment range. The adjustment pins are spring loaded and there is padding on the surfaces that contact the floor and the keyboard, and a hex key for assembly duties. The usual market price for a stand of this caliber and quality would be at least $100 and normally about $120.This stand does not come with assembly instructions and it doesn't need them for people with normal intelligence, except for one detail. The two parts that look like big square washers, are washers. As all washers, they should be placed right next to the bolt's head; that is, on the outer side and not the inner side of the supporting bars. If they are placed on the wrong side, they won't do their job and the stand will be wobbly.Regarding portability, mounting and dismounting the stand is fairly easy and quick. It won't be very quick though, because you will still need to assemble it and disassemble it, by screwing in and out the two (left and right) side bolts that hold it together. So, it is not a foldable stand. But, putting it together is neither a long nor a tedious task, unless you have to set things up very quickly before your performance. It does not feel neither heavy nor light for its size. I can't say more on this matter because I have not had any other similar design stands to compare.

I purchased this stand for my rehearsal studio. I was impressed by the other reviews and wanted a stand that was rock solid and inexpensive. This one met both criteria.It's not ungodly heavy, but the design makes it somewhat impractical for gigging. Yes, it's easy to quickly set up and tear down, but awkward to transport. Unlike the  On Stage KS7350 Pro Heavy Duty Folding Z Keyboard Stand  that I also own, this one will not fit into a stand bag (I use an  On Stage KSB6500 Keyboard Stand Bag ), and the arms on this one are fixed. On the On Stage stand the arms fold flat.One other thing of which you should be aware is the arms that support your keyboard are slightly angled downward. I am guessing that the incline is about five degrees, give or take. My Roland RD-300NX is heavy enough to stay put, but my Casio Privia tends to creep a bit.Overall, this baby is built like a tank and is perfect for super heavy keyboards. The height adjustment is far superior to the On Stage model that I mentioned, and the price is incredible compared to other Z-stands on the market.

The media could not be loaded.  This is wonderful. We bought a Yamaha DGX 650 78 key piano keyboard used and it came with the X style stand. You can not find a furniture stand to go with it and if you buy new it comes with one. The X stand was not sturdy, it felt the keyboard could easily be pulled off. And even with a 7 year old, I was worried he could get hurt especially in the room wrestling with friends or even the dog. This stand was the perfect answer. It is so sturdy I can't express how happy I am! For a large keyboard like this the arms do not stick out too much. It was easy for my husband to put together and has a lot of width and height adjustments. We dont have it adjusted as far wide as it will go even and the stability is just great. Perfect for a very heavy large keyboard. I can try to shake the keyboard and it barely moves.

I have used this keyboard stand for over a month. It is sturdy, easy to assemble, and easy to adjust. The reason for not giving 5 stars is that it doesn't break down easily. I knew this when I bought it, so not an issue for me. The center brace is held on with Allen bolts and the wrench is provided. There is no place to store the wrench on the stand so I drilled a hole in the plastic end cap a little smaller then the wrench and it stays there fine. You can remove the bolts and break the stand into 3 pieces but I just travel with it fully assembled. Not a problem where I play.

This is an excellent keyboard stand. I'm actually using it for a large dj controller. It's extremely stable and has adjustable height and width. If you're on the fence about buying it just pull the trigger. You will be happy.

I purchased this stand for my Yamaha P-115 (my very first very own piano and it's my baby) and let me tell you, it is perfect and definitely worth the money. In order to even shift my piano a little bit, I have to full force tip the stand and it does not budge while you're playing even the most virtuoso pieces. The box was a little damaged, but it came a week earlier than expected and the metal frame was in perfect condition. The stand itself is also perfect for short and tall people and I can actually achieve a healthy piano playing position while sitting at it. My only minor complaint is that the instructions are pretty much laughable but it the actual assembly of the stand is pretty self explanatory. It's so much more sturdy than a classic X style stand and I just simply love it. For an added plus, it looks nice too and isn't too much of an eyesore.
