Long story short, this stand is worth the money and is preferable to the Manhasset. It is high quality, sturdy, durable, and easy to use. The only problem is the head comes off if you try to extend it by pulling the head. Now, if you are not faint of heart, read on for a thorough review (partially in narrative form)… Growing up, all I knew was Manhasset music stands. They are heavy duty, reliable, and durable (which is why middle schools buy them). A few months ago, I was in the market for 2 music stands so, naturally, I looked at Manhasset. Unfortunately, I would have had to take out a second mortgage to afford a couple of those. And thus began my search for a new music stand. AmazonBasics generally makes solid products. I’ve purchased a few basic (pun intended) items of this brand before and have always been satisfied. Music stands, however, are things that you absolutely CANNOT have fail. Could you imagine having one fall, throwing your music everywhere while a thousand judging eyes stare into your soul? A nightmare, I say! Price wise, the AmazonBasics Sheet Music Stand is about $5 below the Manhasset. In my case, that was enough of a difference to give it a try. I have been using the AmazonBasics Sheet Music Stand for a few months now and am extremely satisfied. It is as sturdy as any stand I have used and has no chance of randomly collapsing. Once the head of the stand (the part that actually holds the sheet music) is set, it does not wilt one way or the other. The stand is balanced on three legs and does not wobble to and fro. In fact, the stand does not even move when someone unintentionally (or intentionally) nudges it because it comes with rubber footings. This is a huge deal if you set your stand in place before performing and leave it for a few minutes. A few things to note about the stand: 1. It does not come assembled. It took be about 5 minutes to put it together. 2. The head WILL come off if you try to extend the stand by pulling the head. Pull the silver neck up, not the head. This is the one downside to this stand. 3. The head can be put on crookedly (trust me, I did it). Make sure you get a good look at it before you tighten it on. 4. It can hold a hymnal without retracting. 5. It does not easily scratch (I’ve loaded it and unloaded from the bed of a truck many times). All in all, this stand is the best on the market for the price. I will be purchasing more, even when I have the five extra dollars to buy the Manhasset. If you are looking for a good music stand, buy this and be satisfied (and support Amazon)!Read more

I bought this stand expressly for use with music stand extenders as the extenders don’t work with the Manhasset orchestra stand with the extra lip. The stand extenders also don’t work with stands with curled metal edges (On Stage, ChromaCast, Gearlux, etc). The Amazon Basics stand is basically flat so the stand extenders fit perfectly. The stand also comes with protective covers on the feet, something you have to buy separately for the Manhasset stands. The only downside to this stand is that it is a little tall in the lowest position. This can be an issue for use in an orchestra or chamber ensemble. If you are seated, you will have a hard time looking over the stand at the conductor (especially if you have an Aria light), or at your fellow chamber musicians. This extra height is due to the stand attachment. If you are only using for home or solo use, this stand is perfect: sturdy and reliable.Read more

I purchased it to replace a flimsy stand i have been using to practise my guitar. The stand is quite sturdy and well built. As I set it up and sat down to play I immediately noticed it wouldn’t go nearly as low as my old stand then as I started playing I found I couldn’t read the music with my bifocals unless I practically lifted my head towards the ceiling. I pulled out a cheap pair of reading glasses and it was not bad. After trying to practise for awhile, I realized this stand was not a good fit for a seated guitar playing. For a wind instrument or standing, it is excellent. I decided to return it. I should have given more attention to the other reviewers that had the same complaint. The bottom of the tray only lowers to 32 inches.Read more

Even though I gave this music stand a 3 star review, I’m keeping it. It is not suitable for gigging, so I use the stand at home. The problem with this stand is that it does not get low enough to be able to read music comfortably when a person is small and sitting on a chair. If you don’t turn all the knobs as hard as you can the top will come off very easily, especially when you want to move it and holding the top only. You always have to use the stem. The feet are spot welded, just three small spot welding on each leg. The stem is a little wobbly. OK to use at home, be gentle with it, but don’t use it for gigging.Read more

Planned failure like a lot of products. The base, tube & sheet holder are very sturdy built of steel. But instead of continuing with steel they went to plastic at the hinge with a really cheesy plastic clamp. This is where Manhasset is $12 more. This is where it needs to be built really well & it is not. This stand wouldn’t last one single day at a high school rehearsal room where a Manhasset lasts year after year.Read more

It holds up my computer great. Sturdy enough. Came today so I don’t know about longevity. Set up took less than 10 minutes didn’t need any tools. Great purchaseRead more

Very well done, solid music sheet holder! My brother uses it to hold his sheet music while busking. Even the strong wind cannot make it fall over!Read more

Generally a good stand, especially for the price. It could benefit from slightly sturdier fittings that attach the head plate to the shaft, but is otherwise very satisfactory. Recommended.Read more

Good stand for the price, but not as robust as I was hoping, so no good for children to use. The music rest comes off if you try to raise the height by holding that rather than the pole.Read more

Overall the stand is really sturdy. I believe that this stand was designed to directly compete with the Manhasset music stands because it was designed so you can adjust the height or the angle without loosening or tightening any knobs. I would have liked to give this stand a higher rating because there is lots that I like about this stand but I can only give it 3 stars because of the following concerns: 1) The top part can slide off of the pole when you try to raise it. I read about this concern in other comments before buying so it wasn’t exactly a surprise. Before I bout it I thought that Amazon may have fixed the design because of all the negative comments on this point I also thought that if it wasn’t fixed I would just tighten it more or drill a hole through both layers and put a bolt right through everything. When I got it I tightened it up all the way until the metal of the piece that clamps around the pole was touching so that was as tight as it would go but it still would slip off sometimes. You can try to grab it by the pole to avoid removing the top but when it is all the way down you don’t have much to hold onto. I removed the top and sanded the top of the pole where the clamp goes with a course sand paper and now it works without slipping. That being said if I rotate it sometimes I see the top slips on the pole rather than turning the pole like it should. Therefore I think it might cause trouble again. I might eventually go with my previous idea of drilling right through and putting a bolt through it. 2) The stand doesn’t go low enough for me if I am sitting unless I find a higher chair than I normally use. I know that I am short but I thought that an adjustable stand would adjust low enough for me (like my old stand did). To help you decide if it goes low enough for you I measured it in 3 diferant positions. The bottom of the music holder is 29 1/4 inches from the floor in the vertical position (you can hardly use it in this position though without your music falling off), 31 1/2 inches from the floor with the music stand tilted back at a 30 degree angle from vertical, or 35 inches from the floor with it in the horizontal position. 3) Since the stand is too high for me in the sitting position I am always using it standing. In the standing position I find that the width of the feet are two narrow. I am not worried about it tipping over but it can wobble a tiny bit quite easily and it appears to me that the wobble is caused by one of the feet slightly lifting off of the floor because the stand itself seems to be very sturdy. Onto the positives of the stand: – the stand can be raised and lowered without adjusting a knob. It is also quite sturdy. Before I bought it I was concerned that it might slip down if I use it with a thick hymnal. However, this should not concern you at all. I decided to measure how much weight in books it could hold before slipping and it was still sturdy at 6.2 KG (almost 14 lbs) it was still sturdy and That was 3 stacks of large books that went above the 2 1/4 inch lip! I added another book bringing the total weight up to 6.9 KG (over 15 pounds) and it held for a bit but when I bumped it the stand started to slowly slip then slid down pretty quickly about half way. Based on this experiment I would be comfortable using it with 10 pounds even in a performance when you really don’t want it to slide. This is way more than any music book I have ever seen! – You may notice from the pictures that there is a knob to tighten the angle of the stand. This is just to adjust the tension but you do not need to loosen it to adjust the angle. After adjusting the tension to what you prefer it should still be easy to adjust the stand without using the knob and it will still hold the stand sturdy. – As I previously mentioned I believe this stand was designed to compete as as substitute for the Manhasset music stands. The Manhasset stands have metal feet which may damage hardwood flooring so they sell rubber feet that can slide on to protect your floor. This stand comes with rubber feet so there is no worry about scratching your floors. All considered I could recommend this stand but only with 3 asterisks due to my concerns mentioned above.Read more
