Very pleasantly surprised at sturdiness and stability,

I bought this for my new keyboard for Rock Band 3, realizing almost immediately that I was never going to be interested in playing it like a "keytar". As someone with years of piano lessons behind her, I intend eventually to play this in pro mode, so I realized I needed it to be comfortable for me to play.
As a long time Rock Band aficionado, I'm used to the relative flimsiness of plastic instruments, so I knew from the time I picked up the box that this wasn't your average RB instrument bit. The box weighed a ton! Opening the box, I found heavy-duty, square tubular parts and pretty complete directions on how to assemble it. It's not hard to assemble, but unless you're ambidextrous like me, it may be helpful to find another person to assist when tightening down the screws. It's best to hold the wrench in one hand while tightening them with the allen wrench (tools are provided), rather than the other way around.
I admit that I anticipated the relative stability of...Read more

But I did receive the stand and wanted to release my initial impressions. I should be getting the keyboard next week and I'll edit my review then.
First impressions:
The quality of the stand is top-notch; the frame is comprised of tubular metal and the rubber feet are textured and grooved for non-slip performance. The metal cradle utilizes thin strips of foam to support the keyboard gently and presumably to prevent scratching on the bottom of the keyboard. The vertical portion of the stand is braced on a T-frame and seems quite sturdy; there is no danger of buckling in the frame that I could discern.
The stand itself is adjustable with a push-button / slide assembly. This is a little hard to slide, but I don't plan on moving it much once I've set it to a height that's comfortable. Heights appear to range from something that would make it easy for a 6-year old to operate the keyboard to a height that would be comfortable for someone who is about 6'...Read more

Essential for Rock Band 3 Keyboard,

The rock band 3 keyboard is a great addition for a great game. Unlike the guitars, however, the keyboard is difficult to play by simply holding it. Until I bought this stand, I had tried to play the keyboard either on the coffee table or on my lap. In both cases, it was difficult to place my hands properly on the keys, and on my lap the keyboard is not stable enough.
The stand made from metal parts with some plastic stoppers at the corners. The kit includes all the screws, washers, and nuts as well as a little wrench that you will need to assemble. The assembly instructions are poor (there is only one picture), but the assembly is still easy enough and the parts really ony fit together one way. I think it took about 10 minutes to assemble.
The keyboard stand fixes problems of stability and allows you to comfortably place your hands on the keyboard. The foot of the stand is wide enough to be stable on carpet even when you are seriously jamming. Once...Read more
