Donner Sheet Music Stand with Light, DMS-1 Portable Metal Music Stand, Tabletop Music Book Stand for Guitar, Ukulele, Violin Players

This is a solid, well-made music stand. I will likely be using it as a desktop stand, but I did assemble the entire unit and it is steady and adjusts easily. The lights can be plugged into a USB or powered with three (3) AAA batteries. I did try to put some music books onto it, and the one inch thick book was too heavy, but the 1/2 inch book was do-able. I was hesitant to order this online because I didn't want a thin shaky stand. All in all, the few extra dollars was well spent. And its light enough to carry in the zippered nylon bag.

Great music stand! I like the fact that it comes with a its own soft carrying case. The stand folds up neatly, is lightweight, yet surprisingly meaty enough to handle the music books that I use. (NOTE: This doesn't mean you can use it for a coffee table!!) The on-board spring "butterfly" clips and notebook style plastic clip are great for holding sheet music from blowing everywhere, and the clip-on rechargeable dual neck LED lights are a great touch for those dark places I have to negotiate once in awhile. All-in-all...Great product, superior value and well worth the price. I am purchasing more of them! It's a great gift for musician friends!

Comes with this little light. I broke it. Probably my fault, but still. Folds up nice. Easy to move around.

Very sturdy

Good quality for the price paid, my wife has been very happy with this music sheet stand.

Great music stand

I have previously purchased several sheet music stands for holding my sheet music while I have been playing an electronic keyboard fairly regularly in outdoor venues. Every one of the other sheet music holders has malfunctioned for one reason or another, but mainly (failed) due to the spring-tensioned sheet "stays" slipping out of their slots/holders after only a dozen or so times after using them. This sheet music stand has a different design for the stays (broader and sturdier, shaped someone like oversized paper clips); which I feel are going to work better and will hold up longer than the thin-design stays. I also really like this stand, because of its durable plastic construction, which is easier to carry and was also very easy to set up (and easier to adjust than the other/previous music stands I've had; finally, the wide part of the stand which holds the sheet music folds in half, which makes it easier to carry and also takes up less space when being stored So far, I am very happy with the purchase of this well-designed sheet music stand.

Sturdy base and extension poles... but collapsible bookplate is super thin and fragile PLASTIC. It came with a carry bag as described, but the bookplate is so thin and flimsy that I'm afraid to place it in the carry bag with the metal stand; it will get destroyed. At this price point, I feel the bookplate should have been made out of the same metal as the base and extension poles.

Excelente

Sturdy and usable product. You get exactly what you see in the pictures and descriptions

Great product !! Light and perfect for travel everywhere!!

Sehr stabil, sehr geräumig, endlich „fliegt“ nichts mehr herunter. Auch gut zu transportieren. Wir haben gleich 2 Stück bestellt und sind mehr als zufrieden!

I play at a strumming music circle so I have seen a lot of different music stands and this is hands down the best music stand out there! The solid plastic book holder holds single sheets of music as well as any size of books. There are wire holders at the bottom of the solid book holder that holds books and single pages in place. The other thing I like about the solid top is that it has a full tilt range and can be used as a little table when it isn’t being used as a music stand. This makes it possible to leave it out if you don’t have a lot of space and use it as an end table or even a tv table when it isn’t being used as a music stand. To that end, it is also very sturdy. I wouldn’t recommend using it to pile all your heaviest books on it, but a lot of my music books ARE really heavy and I have put them onto it and it hasn’t had any problems. It’s made from real metal, not thin strips. It is still incredibly lightweight and I can lift the bag with all the extras that it comes with with one finger. Everything is so well designed it folds up super small too. It comes with a book clamp to hold awkwardly made books open in addition to the built in wire clamps on the bottom. The light that comes with it can also be used as a reading lamp, the places I tend to use my stand are brightly lit, but having enough light is SO important, having this light available is really important. I’m glad to have it even though I use my couch reading light or the overhead light when I go out. I think especially for performances it would be vital to have. Who wants to be guessing at words or notes because of bad lighting? It’s rechargeable too! It comes with a nice bag and I usually attach it to the outside of my large music with a clasp because it’s a bit long to go inside and it’s the first thing I always need to set up. There are a couple of things about set up that are important to know about, read the instructions carefully because some things must be carefully slid instead of pushed. So... just read the instructions and it’s pretty straightforward I’ve watched all my musician friends have their music stands fall over and their books be too heavy or slide through their cheap stands non solid tops. I don’t ever have any of these problems and I know that I have a good stand that makes playing music my main focus, not my music stand or trying to keep my music on the stand my focus.
