Very solid keyboard stand with a couple issues...
By Nelsonic
Until recently I've used and liked the Ultimate Support Apex stand, but traded up to the Spider for the fact that the legs allow room for the sustain pedal (the Ultimate Support sits flat on the floor, which forces a pedal to be too far back for my tastes.) I've also used X-style stands, but prefer the tower stands because they're more stable for a standing playing position, and also eliminate the need for a mic stand and music stand.This stand looks fantastic. I did notice some minor scratches to the finish on delivery, so it probably scratches easily. (I bought the carrying bag, which should help.)The height of the tiers is easy to adjust. The mechanism actually uses leverage caused by the weight of the keyboard to stay in place - the screw knob is just for safety so you do not have to tighten it very hard. Unfortunately, you have to put the tiers at specific heights to pack it up, so you will be resetting the height every time it's set up, and you'll probably have to mark your desired height on the stand itself. The arms are solid with minimal bouncing (less than the Apex.)It is VERY tall, standing 4' 3" (130cm) when it's set up (to allow the arms to fold up for transport.) If you front a band, it might feel like it's cutting you off from the audience, especially when using the boom mount on top. The arms would go low enough to play in a seated position, but you would be facing the main column.The threaded steel post for the mic boom is European sized (3/8-16), but it comes with a plastic adaptor to fit standard US booms (5/8-27). Unfortunately (as noted in other reviews) the plastic doesn't seem durable enough for road conditions, so I'd suggest purchasing a metal adaptor if you plan on using it with any regularity.Unlike the Apex, there is no carrying handle, so maneuvering it around is a little awkward, especially when it's a little heavier than the competition. I haven't lugged it any great distance yet, but it doesn't feel THAT much heavier than the Apex.I don't need the top tier for now, so I easily removed it. Frankly, this stand would be perfect for me if it were 16" shorter, but I'm quite happy with the compromises.In conclusion:Positives: great looks, very stable, easy to position tiers, legs allow for flexible placement of sustain pedalNegatives: no handle, questionable boom post, a little heavy

Quality performance stand - buyer should be aware of a few things.
By Mamalakabooboodae
Good stand but buyers should be aware of a couple issues.Overall I am pleased and would likely buy this again. It is very sturdy. Setup was a breeze. The adjustments move easily but lock in place very well. It didn't feel like I had to over torque the plastic adjustment points to get a tight hold. It's a tall unit to allow for the arms to tuck away. Taller than most people will need which makes the boom pretty high but there seems to be enough clearance to allow for a nice downward slope on the boom. Not sure how this would work for performers that sit. You may have to get creative. I don't mind the extra height simply because it's a great looking device.A couple things cause me to raise my eyebrows a bit. First item I noticed was that the stand was way heavier than I expected. I should have read the product details closer. I saw "aluminum" and assumed it would be lightweight. It's a minor inconvenience I just think including a gig bag with the purchase may be the way to go. Second thing was that mine came with multiple scratches right out of the bag. This makes me wonder how it will look in a couple years. (again, gig bag may help with that...) The thing that was most disappointing was the boom attachment. The entire top and boom support are made of plastic. I put a short boom and each grab of the microphone results in the plastic stressing / bending. If you attach the mic and typically don't touch it you may be ok. I constantly fiddle with the height and grab the mic off the boom for songs I don't play keys. In all fairness it hasn't cracked off yet but I am confident this thing will snap off. (check out used actions - I found a couple with broken boom areas) I am trying to figure out a way to reinforce the area.In summary, if I can figure out a way to reinforce the boom attachment and buy a gig bag, this would be a 9 out of 10. As is I think its a strong 7 of 10.

Sturdy
By Jonah positive motion
Before i got my k&m spider pro stand i had a regular x stand with an extra tier. When looking for a new column stand i wanted something that was sturdy enough to hold the weight of my keyboards without shaking or becoming unstable. I bought it after i seen a youtube video review of the stand. i seen that it was sturdy and didnt wobble around so i ordered it. The day after i got it i used it for a gig. IT worked wonderfully. It sets up really fast(10 minutes). The column itself shakes a little but the base legs hold the stand perfectly. The only bad thing about this stand is that its pretty heavy and without the bag its a hassle to carry around. Also the stand itself is pretty tall. So if youre under six feet or if you plan on sitting while you play this stand might not be for you. I like the fact that you can add another tier and put a laptop rack or microphone boom on it. This stand is practical and not to mention really appealing. I would recommend this stand to anyone who can carry it and who is tall. I seen that k&m sells a "baby spider pro".
