QUIK LOK Mixer Stand, Black (WS-550-U)

After much research, lookin' at different Keyboard Stand types/configurations/manufacturers.....I decided on the Quik Lok WS-550 and ordered it. It arrived shortly after with no problem:- Perfect, brand new condition- No missing or wrong parts- No assembly required- Ready to go!All's I had to do was swing each leg open....adjust the height....And WALA, I was set!It's VERY FAST to setup n' breakdown for gigs.You can do it under a minute!What I also like is the rock-solid feel of having 4 strong legssupporting my Yamaha MOXF8 (88 key) instrument. It's likehaving it on a sturdy workbench or table: It ain't movin'!I can play with a full range of dynamics. Even when I attackthe keys very hard, there is *ZERO* shakiness, side-to-sideor back n' forth wobble. The way Quik-Lok built this stand,there is no chance for sudden, catastrophic, collapse or failure.Which is a BIG problem with other stands. There's nothing worsethan having your prize instrument gear go crashing to the ground!The other thing too that I really like about the WS-550 is:Unlike many of the other typical stand designs, underneath youhave a large, roomy area for your pedals, or to stash whatever.But most importantly.....TOTAL FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT for your feet and legs!So if you had too much sugar or caffein before a performance,and you're about ready to burst at the seams with excitement....No problem!There's plenty of room to energetically move and flail your limbsaround as you very happily express n' play your music to a wildand appreciative crowd!(speaking of wild)Even if that means your audience is your lone pet hamsteror snake in your home studio bedroom.....Hopefully your most loyal, die-hard fan isn't a pet hamsterhangin' halfway out a pet snake's mouth.((( HAHA )))

We were looking for inexpensive ways to support equipment at a trade show recently and these stands were the answer. We had a live demo of a cloud platform and the server, plus its shipping container and peripherals, weighed about 180 lbs. Renting tables from the conference center was extremely expensive and we also weren't sure if we could get something that would support all that weight in such concentrated space.When looking for alternatives we realized that DJs had already solved this problem as they have a lot of heavy portable equipment as well. We picked up two of these and put a small MDF "table top" on them to make a "table" out of them. They ended up working perfectly and supported all the equipment in our booth. We covered the "legs" of these by purchasing some form fitting covers which hid the "table top" and the legs. You wouldn't know the difference between these and a regular table when simply looking at them.The best part is that they are easily portable. They are light weight and fold up nicely into a "T." It made booth setup and tear-down a breeze.Great tool for portable needs when you need to support something heavy.

Excellent stand for my Hammond. The pedals had to fit underneath of course. Easy to assemble and disassemble. compact to fit in car, and sturdy to match..Good buy IMO.

Innovative design. It leaves a huge amount of space open for pedals and such under the keyboard. The only downside is that, because it isn't braced from leg to leg, it wobbles quite a bit even at low heights. I'm hoping this gets a V2 that fixes that because it's unbelievable how small this thing folds up to. Definitely take a look if you need a compact keyboard stand and hate getting a knee full of X stand all the time.

I give these FIVE stars because of their heavy-duty, versatile and unique construction.AMAZON and Woodwind & Brasswind are the least expensive sellers of these stands of anywhere I could find. Free shipping is a must because the weigh a lot!!Plus, true "worry free buying" from AMAZON, insures any issues will be covered.I bought TWO of these units, to support a couple of large 24 channel mixers.I searched for other solutions for my specific application; however this unit could not be beat.The units are delivered folded, in a plastic bag and in a cardboard carton.Before I opened them, I was a bit leery thinking they would be damaged or scratched due to the flimsypackaging. However both units were in perfect condition when arrived.More importantly, these units are BRAND NEW, not "B-STOCK", like some other sellers offer.These stands are so versatile, can be used for many applications.Square tubing diameter is beefy. Powder coat finish is adequate.300 pound capacity allows supporting a speaker cabinet as large as a "Voice of the Theater" securely.Legs do not "lock" into position, however "friction" fit positioning is suitable.Quik-Lok offers accessories for these units to expand their versatility to add a second tier for second keyboard, laptop, ect.The other excellent feature is the ability to fold this unit to a fraction of the size when transporting.

I like everything about the stand except that the legs cannot be locked into a position. It is a sturdy stand but if a leg gets knocked and swings around then that could be catastrophic.

The second tier for the second keyboard shown above was never included with this.

I think this is a perfectly good stand for holding a single keyboard and that's all I was looking for. I didn't really realize ahead of time that the legs are adjustable to fixed lengths -- there are stops. I had expected it to just have screws or something so I could adjust it to any height. However, it was easy to find a stop that worked for me; so it's cool.

This is the most solid stand I've ever owned. Twice I've had keyboards topple off of the stage because the stand isn't sturdy and the whole thing shakes, but not with this. The more you can seperate the legs, the more sturdy it is. It's like a mini table. It also compacts down quite a bit, so if you're like me and constantly doing shows, the setup is straightforward and it's easy to store on the road. I do have a couple minor complaints…1) I wish I could adjust the height without having to take everything off. It's not a big deal, but just know that you can't really adjust the height without everything falling off… Unless you have 4 ppl to do it all at once I guess?2) I find some of the bolts hard to screw in. It feels like holes are just ever so slightly off, so I tend to swap bolts to different holes to try to make it easier. Just makes initial setup a little frustrating, so if you're planning to set it up and leave it, you shouldn't have any issues. If you need to constantly pack and unpack it, just keep that in mind.Beyond that though, I have 2 Keyboards on this thing (with the addon sold seperately) and I've had it for over 2 years. My complaints are so minor that I'm keeping my rating 5 stars. I don't regret purchasing it one bit. This thing'll last years!

Took its time getting dispatched but delivery was fast. Product is built like a tank and easily holds my xl flight case with modular synths in

This stand is great because you can pull up in a chair with lots of leg room and not have anything in the way for comfortable playing. It'll fit big and heavy keyboards without issue and is very versatile to support different widths and depths, it'll also adjust up and down for different size chairs or if standing. It'll also fold up pretty small for storage. I bought 3 of these and they actually saved me a lot of room in my studio. The heaviest thing I have on it is a Rhodes Chroma with an EML 101 on top. Probably over 100lbs together and still feels very sturdy. Highly recommended.

I haven't owned a lot of stands. I bought a very heavy digital piano recently and the stand I was using wobbled a lot with the weight. This one is rock solid and is super-well designed for easy transport and light-weight.

Good for holding my keyboard but I wish it could be lowered more, it holds the keyboard higher than normal and I find it a little uncomfortable for playing. But it works as expected and no issues.
