 Decent stand May 14, 2008
After reading many negative comments about this stand, I was wondering whether I should get this or not. But a used one from craigslist still costs 20 plus GAS, YES, you need to add GAS to your cost these days, not just TAX!!! Amazon's price is only half gallon more and decent return policy, so I still gave it a try. To my surprise, I am lucky to have all the pieces, screws and etc to make it a sturdy keyboard stand for my used WK-1630 in less than 5 min!
I didn't read the instruction as it is not that useful as indicated, but again, just looking at the picture you should know which one goes to where easily. Of course, you need to have all the screws otherwise you are screwed. :-)
Anyway, I am happy with the stand.
Okay, but leaves you wanting for more... April 30, 2008
The instructions are visual ONLY...a fuzzy picture with parts labeled. Very much unlike most times when assembly instructions are much better and detailed. I had to stop in the middle coz I goofed up.
The stand itself is fine for the intended purpose...to support an entry level keyboard thats not too heavy. The double-X certainly is a plus.
Mine was packed well, but the hardware was still missing a nut...another first time oddity, considering that I have never had the problem of missing hardware. Since this issue has been reported by other folks, something definitely is not right.
OVERALL: Not bad as a First stand for 20 bucks.
 no hardware, no instructions April 1, 2008
I did not purchase this stand from Amazon but experienced the same difficulty with missing hardware. No, I am no unobservant and they were NOT in the legs for my convenience. They were missing in action as were the assembly instructions. Fortunately I live with a skillful metal worker and we were able to assemble this thing. After assembly it was sturdy enough but assembly instructions would have been nice. All in all a disappointing experience.
Mine was complete, but... March 10, 2008
I actually received this product for free because the description for the Casio PX110 said it came with a stand - and it didn't. So Amazon shipped this to me.
Mine, thankfully, came with all the pieces. But, in usage, it's not too great for my keyboard.
1. The stand's lowest height is too high for the Casio PX110.
2. It's a major pain to adjust the height.
3. The X-shape doesn't allow your legs to be where they should while you play. (This annoys me the most.)
4. My keyboard doesn't rest well on it - I place "non-slip pads" wherever the keyboard rests on the stand so that it won't slide if bumped.
Those four complaints are with or without the use of a pedal, and now that I'm learning pieces where I need that feature, I'm starting to plan on replacing this stand. (As well as buying a bench.) My hubby will either build a stand, or I'll end up purchasing the one for the PX110.
I guess if you're playing while standing up, and wanting a stand that folds up (with difficulty), purchase this one.
Troublesome, but not bad enough to return January 28, 2008
Unlike many of the other reviewers of the keyboard stand, mine arrived with all the parts, including all the screws. Assembling it was a bit tricky; I had to stop and start over at one point, because I misunderstood the directions. The stand comes with two tools for assembly -- a hex wrench (Allen wrench) which worked fine, and an open-end wrench, which was next to useless. You'll need a 10mm wrench of your own if you want to avoid a lot of frustration.
The good points: The stand is plenty sturdy enough for what I'm going to be using it for -- playing the keyboard in my basement, and maybe taking it to a friend's house once in a while. Note that I'm using a Casio WK3800 keyboard, which is relatively light. This probably wouldn't work for a heavier, professional-level keyboard.
The bad point: As other people have pointed out, adjusting the height of the stand is a pain. You have to unscrew a bolt, move the stand up or down (that is, make the "X" narrower or wider) and then screw the bolt in again. Quick setup this is not.
I ran into an additional problem. I couldn't get the stand low enough to suit me. That is, making the "X" wide enough to get the keyboard down to where I wanted it exceeded the range of adjustment on the brackets that hold the bolt -- the two ends wouldn't meet. I solved this with a trip to the hardware store, where I picked up a metal mending plate with a couple of holes in it, and a couple of bolts, and mounted it between the two ends. This gave me the extra couple of inches I needed.
So, now I'm happy. Would I have bought this stand if I knew what it was going to involve? Probably not. But, as I said, it really wasn't bad enough to make it worth the trouble of returning. I wanted to get on with my playing. (BTW, the keyboard is great.)
