If you are going to buy a keyboard stand, just buy this one. Easy set up, strong, and most importantly, doesn't move a bit. I had original tried the X-type and Z-type stands. Those are great if you are standing up but if you play sitting down, your knees will hit the crossbar. Tried a different brand of a "table like" stand like this one, but the other brand's stand moved considerably when my daughter played. Not so with the K&M. Rock solid!
