I know, I know- it's just a keyboard stand. Why so expensive? Well, I don't know if this is one of these things that can be explained. But once you own it and load it up with your expensive synth, controller, or digital piano, you'll understand why you paid so much. This thing is rock solid. The height adjustment is literally a bolt through a hole (with a crazy amount of holes to choose from)- no twist-type friction lock here. Just set it and forget it. The metal is thicker than all the budget stands out there. I'm comparing this to two X-type foldable stands and a budget 2-tier that I already had, neither of which I felt comfortable putting my new Juno D8 on for longer than a practice session. Listen, I'm a tightwad. I'll pinch pennies when I can. But if you're looking for a solid stand for your stuff, I'd consider this a "buy once, cry once" item. It'll be with you for the long haul.

Sound
It's a stand, so it doesn't produce any sound- WHICH IS A GOOD THING. My last 2-tier would rattle with a bit of bass.

Features
I'm surprised with the adjustability while still maintaining a solid stand for heavier keyboards.

Ease of Use
Works great with my synth and digital piano. A bonus feature is they include extra rubber "feet" that you can stick anywhere on the mounting arms, so it doesn't really matter which keyboard you use it with.

Quality
Product is made extremely… read more well. The welds look great. I expect it to outlast me.

Value
It could stand to be a little less expensive, but it is the best keyboard stand I've ever used.

Manufacturer Support
I didn't have to deal with the manufacturer, and judging by the quality, I doubt I'll ever need to.

The Wow Factor
The biggest appeal would be how solid it is. It doesn't flex or move when you really get rockin' on the keys.
