Very ingenious design, it literally takes just a few seconds to set up and break down, really light and compact. I actually ended up receiving 3 of these - there were some manufacturing issues with the first two, but customer support was top notch and the items were replaced quickly without issues. The legs let you adjust the height to 6 different levels. Fully extended is pretty easy, but I found setting up intermediate heights to be a little fussy since the legs are not locked into place and freely slide in and out until the stand is in its final position. The various heights are also fixed (rather than variable) so depending on your height and the height of your chair and instrument, you may find the height of the stand to be a touch high or low. You can compensate by tilting the stand, so if the height is a little low, a small tilt gives you a clear view of your music, but looking down over a long period of time tends to make my neck and shoulders sore, so I prefer my music at eye level, but that is obviously a personal preference and you may not find this to be an issue. These are the two main reasons I’m giving this 4 rather than 5 stars. Overall, this is a pretty unique product and I am satisfied with this purchase. I again want to emphasize that support is top notch if you have any problems.
