This is a great, extremely easy to set up stand. It is so wide, I can read several music books at once. Unlike my old stand, this one will not tip over, and the metal won't bend. I can tilt the top of the stand, so if I want to sit down, or someone else taller wants to play, you will not have to go through all of the work of re-adjusting the height. I don't think I will replace this stand for a long time.
