I needed something that was going to hold the weight of a 27 inch monitor behind my music keyboard. I first tried having the built in music stand hold it, but it was too flimsy. Then I found this little table. It's perfect, and fits pretty snugly between the back of the keyboard and the wall. Because it's just a pole on a tripod with a surface on top, it is able to squeeze in where something with a wider middle section like a mini bookshelf would mean the entire keyboard would have to be pushed out into the room even more. It's pretty stable as well. To fit it in, I didn't even extend the tripod legs fully and it's on carpet. There is some wobble, but it's sturdy enough to use a surface for a mouse. At any rate, I'm not worried about it falling over at all. Great little table. It's pretty straightforward assembly as well, although with the way the surface attaches using 4 screws with washers, it'd be a real hassle to assemble and disassemble for gigging purposes. It is lightweight though, so if you had enough room, you could just toss it in your truck or van without taking it apart. Fortunately for me though, I don't need to take it anywhere. Read more
As a extremely active musician, I'm using this high quality stand/desk/workstation as a laptop or a mixer stand and it is perfect for that. It's strong enough to hold a projector or a studio speaker too. It's very sturdy, compact and quick to setup. It is described well on the Amazon posting because this tray is pretty large. It could fit a large laptop (like 17") comfortablely. You could also fit a 24 channel unpowered mixer. This stand would NOT make a very good music stand since there is a very small lip all the way around. Sheet music, printed speeches or presentation notes would probably fall off if angled too sharply. I would say it's also not ideal as IPad stand if you need to rest it on a lip and angle it sharply as some musician might may require. Generally this stand is better used where it is flat or just slightly angled. NOTE: PYLE does not claim that it should be used for sheet music. This product is everything they claim and they are a company with integrity. I have purchased speaker stands from them in the past and they have excellent customer service. Read more
Great product. Only issues are minor engineering matters. Well worth the money and I wish there were a way to give it 4.5 stars! While this stand is really helpful and feels well built, the only few things preventing me from going a full 5 stars are - the lip around the top edge is about .25 in and could stand to be closer to .5 to prevent a laptop from spilling over the edge - but this is a really picky critique. The tripod legs are a beefy 1" so I have NO fear of it tipping over or collapsing. The surface is REALLY SPACIOUS - it's got room for my 15" MacBook Pro, extended Bluetooth keyboard, AND Bluetooth mouse - it's almost a portable desk for crying out loud! While some may worry about the top being plastic instead of metal, it comes down to cost and weight. The difference between ABS plastic and a metal surface is probably less than a pound, but there's something nice about being in the under 5 lbs classification and the plastic so far seems tough enough for a stand under $45. The last critical matter is that I wish the surface could be more easily removed for speedier portability. You're not going to carry a 16"x20" surface under your arm - it needs to be stowed in a case or gig bag. Being able to unclamp the surface and stow it in a bin or bag _without_ having to deal with removing the wingnuts and screws would be a real 5-star game-changer. Again, I'm being really picky-picky with these matters. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with the purchase and look forward to using it on the road and even in my office for impromptu Zoom meetings.

Purchased this stand after reading reviews and comparing against similar models. Assembly is easy, really just the mounting bar, which screws into the tray. The base is sturdy and adjustable in height and angle. The tray is larger than I expected and has a textured surface, so things don't easily slip off. We have used it to hold a projector and a large laptop, which are both fairly light. I would be cautious when using it for anything over 10 lbs, maybe secure it so that it can't tip over. It is very light weight, so transporting was easy and I like the way the tray folds down to make it even more compact. Overall, a great little stand at an affordable price. Read more
Works great for a quick set up table for a micro DJ system. I use with a MacBook Pro, a laptop stand, and a small DJ controller. Table top plate is the perfect size for this application 20 x 16. No concerns about the weight but know; this is not for a large, heavy controller. Height adjust to 48 inches on the one I received, even though the specs say max height 41 inches. (Appears to be a newer model) Light weight, but pretty sturdy. There is a slight lip on all 4 sides of the top table and the table appears to be made of a less slippery material that works great with the ruber feet on my equipment. These 2 features help keep everything in place. Easy to put together. Great price. No issues with the tilt. I use it flat and tension holds perfectly! Really nice design Read more
Full disclosure, I have only used these in rehearsal and not "in the field." The stands are well made, easy to adjust and assemble. The tops appear to be substantial, but are made from ABS plastic. I know I will need to be careful not to drop them on a hard surface since ABS does shatter relatively easily. That said, so far, so good. I will be using these in a show this week so that will be the true test. I ordered two, one for each side of the stage. The top plates have a raised edge that might prevent things from falling or accommodate a piece of felt or "mouse pad" material to help it serve as a small close up magic table. They fold up nicely and I can fit them into a checked luggage bag. Read more
