Don't be fooled by the double braced design. This is very cheaply made in China. The 2nd & 3rd tiers are held to the main stand by 5 measly spot welds. There is not support bracing other than the welds. I've had this stand for 3 weeks & the welds are already tearing apart from the main stand. If you go with VERY light keyboards (aka plastic controllers) then you'll be ok, but if you're putting a 61 key synth on the 2nd tier, don't expect to have this stand for long.

$150 bucks for a stand I got to enjoy for 3 weeks? Not worth it.

I didn't even try the support, I just returned it to the store.

As I said it looks great, but it's actually made very cheaply.

It allows you to choose the angle you wish the second tier to face down at you, however, you cannot change the elevation of each of the tiers. It would have been nice to be able to adjust that too.

Unfortunately, this is where this product SUCKS. There is a MAJOR DESIGN FAULT in the construction of the knob-screw that holds up the second tier. It is NOT STRONG ENOUGH to hold up the second tier for longer than a season. If you gig as much as I do and use it as many as two to three times a week, you can expect it to last for about 8 months. After that period of time, that screw which only has about 4 THREADS!!! to hold up the second tier will eventually peel off and drop your top keyboards. I expect a even shorter life span should you use three keyboards at a time due to the extra weight and stress imposed on this defective knob. QuikLok was good to me by sending me out extra knobs, however, the second ones lasted me only about 8 months as well. They both broke on my New Year's Eve gig!! My band helped me out and we had to make do with a ton of gaff tape holding up my second tier. so DON"T WASTE YOUR $$ ON THIS PRODUCT yet. They would have to improve the design first.

Not at all with it's faulty design.

Great flexibility for different positions.

It can be cumbersome and it takes a little time to fold into its most compact setting.

I've owned 2, and never had a problem with live performance or using it in a studio environment. I've used all 3 tiers with analog and digital keyboards with no problems. Quite honestly, I'm not sure what these other people are doing, but it sounds like they are either dancing or placing extremely heavy equipment on the stand.

You get what you pay for.

It's very practical and ergonomic.
