Amazon Basics Keyboard and Piano Stand Adjustable Height Portable Single-X-Shape Black

This stand was very easy to set up and feels sturdy. The price point is good, especially for a basic stand that does what it needs to. It also folds up nicely for storage when not in use. A practical, no-frills option that works well. Read more

I run a community band, and I furnish all the stuff that the band members can't be expected to provide themselves, e.g; percussion instrument and accessories, PA system. I like to be able to use some of the same items for other musical groups I am involved in as well, so flexibility and utility are important, and since I am not made of money, price is a consideration. In this band, we need to have a stand for the bass drum, another to hold a set of orchestra bells, and on occasion, an electronic keyboard. Having one kind of 'universal' stand that will work for all of these as well of for other purposes is desirable. I have settled on the common "X-stand" design which seemingly everyone makes. The first one I bought cost over $100 (big brand name). So I went looking for something very similar, but more affordable, and selected this "Amazon Basics Classic Adjustable Keyboard and Piano Stand - Single-X". As a 'single-X' design, it is not as strong or rigid as a 'double-x'/'dual-X'/'2-X' design, but then it is lighter weight and less costly than those. Essentially, when unfolded this product forms an 'X' shape with a pivot in the middle, and an easy detent-adjustment there which allows for five (5) unfolded configurations. The 'X' frame is comprised of square tubular steel. At the bottom of the two bottom legs of the 'X' are two cross feet comprised of round tubular steel, with rubber bumpers/caps on the ends. At the top of the top arms of the 'X' are two cross bars comprised of similar round tubular steel, again with rubber bumpers/caps on the ends. The bottom bumpers are the 'feet' of the stand, and the top bumpers are the grippy surfaces that support whatever you decide to set on top of the stand. The configuration adjustment is made by pulling on a spring-loaded knob to retract a pin from a curved plate with five holes along its edge, and then the 'X' can be rotated to a taller but narrower shape, or a shorter but wider shape, five variations in all; the spring-loaded knob's pin goes into any of the five holes on the curved plate, forming the 'detent' feature. There is NO detent for the fully closed/folded configuration (some of the similar stands by other makers DO have a closed detent). Of the four feet on this stand, three are normal round bumpers, while the fourth one has a special shape with a kind of spiral wedge design and since it is not glued to the steel tube it is on, it can be rotated to be a bit thinner or thicker where it meets the floor, allowing the user to adjust for uneven surfaces so the stand does not rock. Even the expensive stand I own does not have this nice feature. The stand weighs 6.5 pounds (about 3 kg). The manual states that the stand can hold a maximum of 66 pounds (30 kg). Folded, the stand measures at 40.5" tall, 14" (top) and 16" (bottom) wide, and 3" thick. All metal parts are painted black. Except for the bumpers and the detent knob, the whole thing is steel (I think, not absolutely sure). The five unfolded configurations measure as denoted below. Keep in mind that, regardless of configuration, the top is always 14" front to rear, while the bottom is always 16" front to rear: 1) 39" high x 12" wide left to right......this might be useful as a podium if a board or something were placed across the top 2) 37" high x 17" wide......with a board across the top, this could form a percussion table for drum sticks, etc; or to hold a set of orchestra bells. In a pinch, a snare drum or similar could be set on it. 3) 34" high x 23" wide......could hold an electronic keyboard for a standing player, or a set of orchestra bells 4) 30.5" high x 27.5" wide.....same uses as configuration 3, or to hold a small bass drum 5) 26" high x 32" wide.....could hold an electronic keyboard for a sitting player, or to hold a large bass drum Assembly: The stand comes in a box and requires some assembly before use. The 'X' frame is already assembled, so the owner just needs to attach the four round tubular cross feet/arms to the ends of the 'X' tubing. Each 'X' frame tube end has a recessed nut welded into it, with a long screw already installed in the nut. Each cross feet/arm has a pre-drilled hole near its center, with one end of the hole recessed for a counter-sunk screw head. A small "Allen" wrench is provided to use with the screws. Just remove a screw, pass it through the hole in a cross foot/arm, and back into the recessed nut, using the wrench to tighten. Repeat for the other three screws, and assembly is complete. A plastic holder for the Allen wrench fits around one leg of the 'X' frame, and the owner can leave this in place or remove it. A sheet of instructions in eight languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and three more Slavic/Eastern European) with one illustration. The instructions sort of mention that the two feet tubes are 16" long while the two top tubes are 14" long, but the way it provides this information is not the clearest and this could easily be missed by some buyers. The instructions totally fail to mention that each of the four round tubular pieces needs to be rotated with the counter-sink dimple away from the end of the X-frame when putting the screw through, and that each of those four tubes must go on in only one of two possible arrangements; this is to compensate for the offset resulting from the two 'X' frame members being like the sides of a scissors, and thus offset from each other. The holes through the round tubes are similarly offset to allow a balanced final assembly. If this important step is missed, the resulting stand will be very gangly and possibly unstable, not to mention funny looking. Even though I kinda knew that this could be an issue, I still managed to get two of the four assembled incorrectly on the first pass. Overall, this seems like a good product, decently fabricated, or good materials. I mostly mark it down a bit for the iffy-instructions and the lack of a closed-detent. Read more

Works very well! Easy to use and sturdy. Light enough that my 9 year old daughter can move it around the house. Read more

Solid and sturdy easily assembled For home use and kept up Read more

This is quality. It is sturdy. Has good finish to it. Easy to open and fold. No assembly required as it is just delivered folded. It can be set to granular stops which has allowed me to get just the right height I wanted. I just wish there were a second-tier option for this that creates one more level on the top. I could find one, however, it was not a fit by itself; I had to bend with significant effort to make it fit. Read more

Easy to assemble and plenty sturdy. We used with our full sized Yamaha keyboard. It’s fairly, and still provides a stable platform. Good adjustability. I used an electric screwdriver because it was going to take forever using the included allen wrench Read more
