If you try to assemble this stand by following the nearly impossible to understand directions, you will never succeed. There is a typo error in #2 and if you really don't have any mechanical experience or a buddy to help you, you'll be really have a rough time. Also, this is not road worthy, as it takes a tool to loosen and fold it up so it has to remain set when bolt is tightened. It is stable and pads are adjustable to fit your particular keyboard. Spend a few bucks more, get a better one.

Comes unassembled. Assembly instructions, including diagrams are abysmal and I'm fairly competent mechanically speaking, so I managed it on my own. The stand is strong and seems to do its job well so far- I've only had it one day. To change height you need tools, not the usual knob turning that other stands offer, so that's a HUGE incovenience. Overpriced by at least 30%.

I recently purchased this stand for my CTK-691 keyboard. It is double braced and supports my keyboard very well. It has a adjustment device to get it to the right height you need. It is very sturdy even when one is a beginner and trying to very hard to learn and appreciate music even more than just listening to a cd, tape, or radio. Recommend it highly! I know my piano teacher is teaching me to make my music loud and not be afraid of the keys, so that means pressing those keys firmly......and a great sturdy stand is the sure thing. Thanks!

The double X is really useful.
