 Worst Amazon product ever purchased November 26, 2008

Given mostly favorable reviews in the past, I was excited to order this music stand. I was extremely disappointed by the stand I received from Kaito. Firstly, the plastic packaging in which it came appeared used and dirty. The next clue was the stand's carry bag - embroidered with SIGNTURE - missing the A; upon assembling the stand my suspicions of "knockoff" were confirmed. Once of the extensions seemed dirty, maybe even rusty. It was impossible to secure the extensions such that the extension would stay extended, the knobs were poorly made, hurt your fingers to tighten, impossible to tighten fully and failed to hold the extensions in place (even my husband was unable to do it). Therefore, this stand definitely could not hold music or a music book. I would have given this 0 stars if pssible.
Not so good November 24, 2008
I got this stand for my little kid who plays guitar. The lower part of the stand is fine but the part that holds the music book is really cheep. The book will fall off and hit the ground during the song! It doesnt get much worse than that. This stand was such a distraction to my kid we had to get rid of it.
The only reason I gave it 1 star is because the lower 'teloscoping" part seems to do a good job and it doesnt tip over.
I would not recomend this stand even if it were free. It's really that bad!

 Very nice travel stand October 22, 2008
It's light, has nice rubber tips on the feet, has leg braces, folds up into a nice small package, has a carry bag, and easily adjusts to use either standing or sitting, with TWO height adjusters so you can make it really low, or extra high. It has the traditional "wind wires" on the tray, but more importantly has "wings" on each upper corner that can be used to support extra size pages, or pulled around to be retaining clips. I've owned two other folding music stands and neither was even close to this one in either functionality or quality of construction.
Excellent for the price! October 1, 2008

I was looking for a good easy to use beginner music stand for a 10-year old. The stand was very easy to assemble and take apart, even my 6-year old could do it. It's hard to beat the price too.

I am a beginning violinist and have never owned a music stand. This one looked appealing and cheap and based on the reviews I thought it would be decent.
The first thing I noticed when I set it up is that is that for whatever reason it stood at a slant instead of up straight. I examined it, trying to find the reason why this was, but couldn't see precisely where the problem was; there was some subtle structural problem that prevented it frpm standing up straight. I tried placing it on multiple areas of my floor to see if it was simply uneven floorboards, but that was not the case.
The stand itself was a bit too short; at maximum height I have to look down at where my music is instead of it being eye-level it. I am not an incredibly tall person; I am slightly under 6'0". A few more inches or even a foot would have made this more useful.
The final thing that turned me off is how I broke the botton tightening peg off simply by, well, tightening it. Perhaps this is my fault, but I don't recall using an unreasonable amount of force. I believe that it simply is that the plastic is so cheap that it didn't take much force to break it off. Had I not broken it so soon it probably would have broken within a few months of use.
The stand itself is made out of a metal, but it's not incredibly strong. Just by screwing in pegs you will scrape off the thin, flaky coating of paint. Underneath is paint at certain parts of the stand I found rust.
Overall I am very disappointed and now find the stand practically unusable. In the future I will go to a real store to buy a music stand so I can thoroughly examine its quality before purchasing, or perhaps base a future purchase off of another musician's recommendation.
