Hamilton Folding Stand, Chrome, 2 section

I am glad I went with this purchase. It is a GREAT value for something under 8 bucks. It comes in a nice vintage looking white box and its very easy to assemble! It does come with a light coat of oil so don't be surprised. You might think it is flimsy but it does the job just right. If you are rough on your instruments and stands I probably wouldn't suggest this one but I just keep my guitar method book on here and it does the job. When I am sitting on the bed or in a chair it can be lowered to the perfect height. One thing though I would improve is where the book holder attaches to the boom (or straight tube). It is not weak at this joint but the machining could be a bit better. Where it attaches there is a lot of give on mine and the sheet holder seems to have a hard time staying leveled. However when you put a book on it, it does not wobble at all. Nothing a little bit of soldering can't fix. If you are a traveling musician this is a must have. Its dirt cheap and gets you by, easily collapsible into nothing and looks great. I love the "hamilton no. ....." engravement on the stand, it makes it look very vintage! For those who are saying this is a bad stand I don't think you understand you are buying a STAND for under 8 bucks. You can barely buy anything with 8 bucks nowadays but this is just a steal! don't think twice, get it.

Well worth the money. I wonder sometimes how some things can be manufactured so inexpensively. It IS light weight. Not meant to hold heavy loads, but for one or two thin, paperback music books, it's fine.

It does the job, although it isn't nearly as nice as a Hamilton folding stand I got as a present 15 years ago. This one has only two vertical sections and no adjustability of the bottom mechanism. As a consequence its minimum height is a little higher than I would like, as I sometimes like my music stand to be lower so that others can see my masterful guitar picking. All kidding aside, I use the older stand for gigging and I find the stand is less of a distraction to the audience if it is quite low. This one couldn't be used that low. The stand would have to be up in front of the guitar, which is probably fine for most students, but not ideal for me.

I purchased this music stand as I needed something that was light and inexpensive. I was thrilled with the quality as well as how compactly it folds up.The music stand can be raised and lowered to different heights. It is very easy to assemble and fold up again.The stand holds music nicely and the chrome finish looks nice as well.

Basic music stand. Not much here. Folds pretty small. It doesn't lower as low as we were hoping, as we are using it for our 5 year old son who is just starting drum lessons.I don't see this lasting for years if you use it as a traveling stand. It will fold up small, and it is all metal. However, it's not that sturdy that I don't see this lasting more than a few years on the road.For our purpose, it works well enough, but it would have been better if it could lower a bit more.Pros:PriceLooks NiceHolds Music Books Open With Metal Page KeepersCons:Very LightweightNot DurableHeight Adjustment is Limited.

Such a great little portable stand! Now I have something decent to use when practicing violin or learning something new on the guitar reading tab, and when I'm done, all I have to do is fold it up and put it away! It does what it needs to do and should last if taken care of, considering the great low price there are probably more sturdy stands out there but if you're like me (a college student with no kids) and all you want is a nice portable stand, this is it!

Music stand is barely tall enough for me to use when I stand to play my violin. I am 5 foot 4 inches, the average height for a woman. Also, when I put it all the way up, it is not as sturdy and wiggles and slants. I am disappointed with the quality. I use to have a Hamilton stand made in the 80's, but considering this modern version is so inexpensive, perhaps I need to adjust my attitude and put up with the fact that the stand is not sturdy for a musician who stands. If you stand when you play and are taller than my height, find a different stand.

Great stand! Easy to assemble. It’s just like the one my dad had when I was a kid. I like it because it’s vintage and sturdy. I would recommend wiping the stand down because it has an oily substance on it. I guess it’s protective for transport. It took longer than expected to arrive. However, I wasn’t in a rush to get it.

It's a music stand, it holds music. And it does it's job really well.

excellant , and at this price realy good value, easy to put up and very stable

Exactly as advertised, perfect value for the price paid

Looks just as in the image. Easy to assemble and pull apart if no longer required. Light and sturdy enough for a folding stand. Recommended.
