content: Given mostly favorable reviews in the past, I was excited to order this music stand. I was extremely disappointed by the stand I received from Kaito. Firstly, the plastic packaging in which it came appeared used and dirty. The next clue was the stand's carry bag - embroidered with SIGNTURE - missing the A; upon assembling the stand my suspicions of "knockoff" were confirmed. Once of the extensions seemed dirty, maybe even rusty. It was impossible to secure the extensions such that the extension would stay extended, the knobs were poorly made, hurt your fingers to tighten, impossible to tighten fully and failed to hold the extensions in place (even my husband was unable to do it). Therefore, this stand definitely could not hold music or a music book. I would have given this 0 stars if pssible.
