This piano stand is great! It came already set up, and it is so easy to adjust. It is super sturdy, unlike my stand from guitar center. So happy with this purchase.

Set up in less than 5 minutes
I’ve got a kawai 88-key digital piano on it and it’s super stable, even while playing aggressively. I put a music stand between my piano and the wall since the keyboard stand is deeper than my piano.

This stand rocks! Setup took around 5ish minutes, it’s sturdy, affordable, and adjustable. What more could you ask for?

For reference, my keyboard is a Nektar GX49 and it’s sitting on the stand’s second widest setting.

Leg room *could* be an issue if you’re a larger/taller person, but you can easily put your legs on the outside of the stand rather than in-between the openings.

Don’t hesitate, just buy it!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for money, good range of adjustments
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2023
I run a community band, and I furnish all the stuff that the band members can't be expected to provide themselves, e.g; percussion instrument and accessories, PA system. I like to be able to use some of the same items for other musical groups I am involved in as well, so flexibility and utility are important, and since I am not made of money, price is a consideration.

In this band, we need to have a stand for the bass drum, another to hold a set of orchestra bells, and on occasion, an electronic keyboard. Having one kind of 'universal' stand that will work for all of these as well of for other purposes is desirable.

I have settled on the common "X-stand" design which seemingly everyone makes. The first one I bought cost over $100 (big brand name). So I went looking for something very similar, but more affordable, and selected this "Amazon Basics Classic Adjustable Keyboard and Piano Stand - Single-X".

As a 'single-X' design, it is not as strong or rigid as a 'double-x'/'dual-X'/'2-X' design, but then it is lighter weight and less costly than those.

Essentially, when unfolded this product forms an 'X' shape with a pivot in the middle, and an easy detent-adjustment there which allows for five (5) unfolded configurations. The 'X' frame is comprised of square tubular steel. At the bottom of the two bottom legs of the 'X' are two cross feet comprised of round tubular steel, with rubber bumpers/caps on the ends. At the top of the top arms of the 'X' are two cross bars comprised of similar round tubular steel, again with rubber bumpers/caps on the ends. The bottom bumpers are the 'feet' of the stand, and the top bumpers are the grippy surfaces that support whatever you decide to set on top of the stand.

The configuration adjustment is made by pulling on a spring-loaded knob to retract a pin from a curved plate with five holes along its edge, and then the 'X' can be rotated to a taller but narrower shape, or a shorter but wider shape, five variations in all; the spring-loaded knob's pin goes into any of the five holes on the curved plate, forming the 'detent' feature. There is NO detent for the fully closed/folded configuration (some of the similar stands by other makers DO have a closed detent).

Of the four feet on this stand, three are normal round bumpers, while the fourth one has a special shape with a kind of spiral wedge design and since it is not glued to the steel tube it is on, it can be rotated to be a bit thinner or thicker where it meets the floor, allowing the user to adjust for uneven surfaces so the stand does not rock. Even the expensive stand I own does not have this nice feature.

The stand weighs 6.5 pounds (about 3 kg). The manual states that the stand can hold a maximum of 66 pounds (30 kg).

Folded, the stand measures at 40.5" tall, 14" (top) and 16" (bottom) wide, and 3" thick.

All metal parts are painted black. Except for the bumpers and the detent knob, the whole thing is steel (I think, not absolutely sure).

The five unfolded configurations measure as denoted below. Keep in mind that, regardless of configuration, the top is always 14" front to rear, while the bottom is always 16" front to rear:

1) 39" high x 12" wide left to right......this might be useful as a podium if a board or something were placed across the top
2) 37" high x 17" wide......with a board across the top, this could form a percussion table for drum sticks, etc; or to hold a set of orchestra bells. In a pinch, a snare drum or similar could be set on it.
3) 34" high x 23" wide......could hold an electronic keyboard for a standing player, or a set of orchestra bells
4) 30.5" high x 27.5" wide.....same uses as configuration 3, or to hold a small bass drum
5) 26" high x 32" wide.....could hold an electronic keyboard for a sitting player, or to hold a large bass drum

Assembly:

The stand comes in a box and requires some assembly before use. The 'X' frame is already assembled, so the owner just needs to attach the four round tubular cross feet/arms to the ends of the 'X' tubing. Each 'X' frame tube end has a recessed nut welded into it, with a long screw already installed in the nut. Each cross feet/arm has a pre-drilled hole near its center, with one end of the hole recessed for a counter-sunk screw head. A small "Allen" wrench is provided to use with the screws. Just remove a screw, pass it through the hole in a cross foot/arm, and back into the recessed nut, using the wrench to tighten. Repeat for the other three screws, and assembly is complete.

A plastic holder for the Allen wrench fits around one leg of the 'X' frame, and the owner can leave this in place or remove it.

A sheet of instructions in eight languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and three more Slavic/Eastern European) with one illustration. The instructions sort of mention that the two feet tubes are 16" long while the two top tubes are 14" long, but the way it provides this information is not the clearest and this could easily be missed by some buyers. The instructions totally fail to mention that each of the four round tubular pieces needs to be rotated with the counter-sink dimple away from the end of the X-frame when putting the screw through, and that each of those four tubes must go on in only one of two possible arrangements; this is to compensate for the offset resulting from the two 'X' frame members being like the sides of a scissors, and thus offset from each other. The holes through the round tubes are similarly offset to allow a balanced final assembly. If this important step is missed, the resulting stand will be very gangly and possibly unstable, not to mention funny looking. Even though I kinda knew that this could be an issue, I still managed to get two of the four assembled incorrectly on the first pass.

Overall, this seems like a good product, decently fabricated, or good materials. I mostly mark it down a bit for the iffy-instructions and the lack of a closed-detent.

Love this little keyboard stand!! I teach in a very small space and have to collapse my keyboard when I’m not using it. This stand is sturdy and folds right up to fit in the smallest of spaces when I’m done. Loved it so much that I bought one for my other location too! Great value for the cost.

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2021
I had been using a folding plastic table for my DJ gear for years now. I wanted something a bit more lightweight, easier to carry, and more stable. I thought to myself, "Why not try a keyboard stand?" I have a full flight case with a pioneer DDJ-1000 and a very heavy Alienware 15 R3 laptop sitting on it. I haven't used a keyboard on a stand in 20 years, so I have no concept of how sturdy they are. I went ahead and bought this stand after racking my brain reading very concerning reviews on many stands.

I set it up and did a live set for about 3 hours. I am extremely happy with the stand!!

Not only is this stand sturdy, it feels very well constructed. The rubber grips the floor and the flight case so well that I pretty much must lift components to move anything. The handle for adjustment comes with velcro wraps to keep it locked down. However, I don't think you'll need them. A fair amount of force is required to lock that latch. That is very reassuring. I honestly have no complaints and I believe my flight case could weigh 3x as much as it does and this stand would be fine.

All this said, I'm sure this stand will not perform as well on uneven ground and may even be a bit wobbly on carpet. But, on the composite flooring I have, it works perfectly.

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024
This is a very sturdy keyboard. It's really made for a very large size keyboard. I bought it wanting a sturdy stand for my elderly mom to use my old Casio CT-650 61 key keyboard. It fits, but the top supports stick out the back because they keyboard isn't deep enough. This is made for more like my 88 key digital concert piano. If I ever plan on traveling with my 88 key, I'll probably buy another of these.
