Customer Reviews

Does the job.
Its a simple product, so 5 stars would be going overboard, but it certainly does the job. Four alan-key type screws hold the 4 bars to the X frame (alan key supplied), and then a sprung mechanism lets you choose the height - there's a half-moon piece with holes drilled in it, located on the pivot point of the X frame, and a peg which you pull out and which springs back into whichever hole you line it up with, securing the frame at your chosen height. Simple. Assembled in under 5 minutes.

Excellent for the price
Received this item today and it's very sturdy and easy to assemble (2 mins with the included Allen Key). The rubber pads hold the keyboard firmly in place with no noticeable movement. It felt so secure that I actually lifted the stand with keyboard atop to another place in the room and again no movement despite the stand being tilted as I moved it.

The locking / adjusting mechanism requires a substantial effort to change settings which gives confidence that the stand isn't going to collapse mid-performance! The adjustable height levels are very sensible and suitable both for sitting and standing. Finally, the stand folds away compactly for storage.

Do yourself a favour and buy this stand and something for £2 to get free Super Saver Delivery. Although that takes it to the same price (£15) as Argos' budget stand the difference is like night and day. This stand wouldn't be out of place in a recording studio whilst the Argos stand wouldn't be out of place in a scrapyard.

Take care with suitability for your KB
Advertised together with the YPT200 but doesn't fit it! The heights available do not provide a stable platform for fitting of the YPT 200 and the horizontal struts at the top are too wide to fit the grooves underneath the KB.

So, as a stand it's probably fine but I'm more than a little annoyed that it is advertised with a KB it is clearly not suitable for.
