CAHAYA5 in 1 Heightened Dual-use Sheet Music Stand & Desktop Book Stand Metal Portable Solid Back with Height Adjustable from 31.4-67in Including Carrying Bag, Sheet Music Folder & Clip CY0304

I have a big binder full of music that I transport when I play. It is quite heavy. In the past I took my professional music stand, but it is very cumbersome to transport. I bought this because it fits nicely into the carry bag. It goes together fairly easily and it holds my heavy binder without collapsing, as long as I tighten the screws. I am very pleased with this purchase. The stand holds my music, yet looks professional, not flimsy and cheap like most collapsible stands.

This review covers two CAHAYA products:- 5 in 1 Dual Use Sheet Music Stand- Guitar Stand Floor UniversalI bought them together, use them together, and have similar feedback on them, so am cross-posting this review for both products.I am an amateur, non-gigging player and have no need of (and cannot afford!) professional quality stands. However, I am tired of purchasing lower-end products that are poorly-designed and poorly manufactured using inferior materials.CAHAYA has hit the sweet spot offering decent quality stands at affordable prices.This music stand came as part of a kit including a desktop adaptor, travel bag, music clip, and sheet music folder. Personally I have little use for the folder, but it's a nice touch to include it. The desktop adaptor and clip work well when you need them. The bag is great and I use it whenever I need to quickly vacate the family room for visitors. It even accommodates my CAHAYA guitar stand. Everything (except the sheet music folder) breaks down quickly and goes into the bag in about a minute.The most important piece--the music stand itself--is well-designed and well-manufactured. Most important for me is that it easily accommodates thick three-ring binders full of music. It adjusts to any height I need, whether sitting or standing.For daily, same-location amateur use, this music stand kit is a bargain. If you expect to break it down, pack it up, throw it in a vehicle and reassemble it several times a week, you should probably go more high-end. (But if you just don't have the budget to do so, this kit can probably survive some length of pro service as long as you don't abuse it )The CAHAYA Universal Floor Guitar Stand is similar to the music stand in terms of materials, reliability, and value: an absolute bargain for a single-location amateur. If you expect to set it up in different venues every week where it might get knocked over by a drummer stumbling toward his or her kit or by a drunk audience member, you should probably go more high-end. But this stand is light years better than some of the products that are just $10 cheaper.Some people complain that it holds the guitar too high, making it too unsteady. I was a little concerned about this at first, but I use it for a relatively heavy bass, and have never had a problem. In fact, the cradle appears to be high to accommodate the adjustable tripod legs, so it was designed this way for a reason.My only minor complaint is that you need to completely remove bolts, knobs, nuts, and washers when fully collapsing the stand. If you expect to be doing this a lot, there's a good chance you're going to drop and lose a piece at some point. Otherwise, this stand is a great solution for anybody on a budget that won't be abusing their equipment.

I never write reviews....EVER; however, I had to take a moment to do this. At such a reasonable price my expectation for quality was low. This music stand is incredibly sturdy, simple to put together and can be folded into a small bag if you don't want it sitting around the house when you're not using it. I would buy this product over and over again. Can't recommend enough.

Update: I did finally hear from the Cahaya company who apologized for the defective stand and offered to make it right. (They claimed they had tried to contact me earlier, but I did not receive that email.) But by the time I heard from them, I had already ordered a replacement stand -- the same one. The new one has no defects. All the screws work correctly. (If I had received the second stand the first time around, I would have given it 5 stars.)Here is the original Review:The stand is sturdy enough, but I can only use it sitting down because the middle screw (see photo) will not tighten; therefore, the tube can not be extended to raise the stand to its maximum height. The other screws tighten just fine. At age 72, I recently began fiddle lessons and needed a music stand. This one fits the bill only if I don't have to stand up to play. On the second lesson, the instructor had us stand twice to play. It was hard to see the music when the stand would only raise to waist height.I contacted Cahaya Customer Service and received no response. Their website said they would respond within 24-48 hours. I've waited one week--still no word.

Easy to assemble, very transportable, comes with a nice bag. Like the attachment that lends itself easily to a table stand. Not too heavy, but sturdy. Has nice clips to hold music in place. I took it to an outdoor ukulele jam last weekend. It was windy & clips held music in place. It was great. Would buy again.

This stand is very portable, comes with a nice carrying case, easy to assemble/adjust and is sturdy enough, given its portability. It is not the heavy duty, all one piece stand. But those aren't handy to take with you. This one is. It will handle a moderately heavy load.

This music stand is super portable yet sturdy when set up for use. Breakdown and set-up are quick and easy to do. Holds music books or singles easily.The only thing I added was a book light, for playing in poor or dim lighting.

I thought this stand was a great value for the money. It comes with a small table top piece that works well. The music stand is sturdy, is height adjustable and the wires hold the score in place. It comes with a storage bag with room for my printed music pages.

I originally bought this stand to hold a textbook while I was attending online university courses as I was straining my neck to look down at the book on my desk. I was looking for a stand with a flat back that wasn't flimsy but also wasn't overly expensive, and this one seemed to be the best compromise. I am very happy with the purchase, and the item had no problem supporting a 400 page textbook on a slight angle. The stand is very sturdy and holds its position well.The page holder arms are well positioned and functional and the additional accessories are useful. I haven't had to use the tabletop stand yet, but I think it's a great idea and a smart addition to improve the functionality and value of the stand. I do play music as well and will be using this as a normal music stand moving forward, and I'm confident it will meet my needs for that purpose as well. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

El tamaño es perfecto para una Tablet de hasta 13". Los materiales resistentes, y es muy sencillo de armar.

The measurement for height is accurate, but for someone who is 6 foot or 181 cm tall, it could be higher. I do love the case and colour. It is fairly sturdy, but it is not to hold a heavy or thick binder of music sheets. I’m pleased. The package for some reason got held up at U.S. customs prior to entering Canada. This is unusual. Most of the packages that I received have arrived on time. Don’t buy a flimsy music stand! My Dixon from 1995 that I bought years ago still holds up well.

Soy una persona un poco más alto que el promedio (1.85cm) y los atriles convencionales me quedaban algo chicos, éste atril realmente se ajusta a mi altura. Lo recomiendo igualmente como soporte para lap o proyector ya que ofrece una altura considerable.

This is a very sturdy stand. I've assembled it but haven't used it yet nor tried out the portability of it. But, from the assembly alone, I can tell it's built solid and will last a long time. It comes with a bag for portability.
