Yamaha PKBS1 Adjustable X-Style Keyboard Stand

I used this all school year long in my classroom. It worked fine, was easy to set up. It worked with my 88 key piano.

I read the reviews here and was hesitant to buy this. But no parts or bolts were missing. For those who may not be aware, the bolts are lightly screwed into the tops of the legs and arms. Unscrew them and use them to put on the arms and legs. Assembly took about 10 minutes. The instructions could be better but then I didn't really need them. A picture of the assembled stand was enough. The unit is sturdy and holds a full size keyboard. It also folds neatly and fits in the keyboard bag.

Easy to assemble. Originally thought they didn't include the screws, but there already screwed into the X legs.Sturdy and holds my DJ controller perfectly!

This stand was delivered a few days ago and it fits my Yamaha 76-key DGX 230. It is still a little wobbly, especially when playing the keyboard expressively. Nevertheless, it is cheap at $20 and serves its purpose. I set it at the lowest height which goes perfectly well with the Yamaha PKBB1 adjustable bench (set at the middle height) that was delivered on the same day. I like that the top "support" bars have a little extension or "peg" (identical to the ones on the YKT7500 model on the Yamaha website) to prevent the keyboard from sliding forward, if at all. The stand was very easy to assemble with the easy-to-understand instructions. The X-bar has one bar in front of the other; obviously, the top support bars and bottom (feet) bars have holes for the screws that aren't equal in distance from its ends so that when assembled correctly, they are aligned. I would have liked to have purchased the Z-type or table-top stand but they were a little more expensive and I just needed something cheap to get the keyboard off my coffee table. My knees do not knock into the X-bar so I have no complaints about this stand other than it being wobbly when playing the keyboard.

Simple to assemble, very stable. Folds very portable

The price was fine and the stand is perfect for my long keyboard. It is sturdy and I am not worried about dropping my keyboard.

We used it as a portable stand to travel with a digital piano which my kid used to warm up at a hotel before a piano competition. Let me start with positive observations:1. It is very compact, especially when disassembled. Easily fits into a car, easy to carry.2. The price is quite attractive.3. Its minimum height is very close (just a little bit higher) than the height of original stand of our digital piano. This brings the keys to the level similar to height of a real grand piano.4. The necessary tools are included, and there is even a special little holder for the allen wrench right on the frame of the stand.The negative observations are as follows:1. The stand is quite shaky (in the forward and back direction, primarily), albeit not to the level to make the digital piano unplayable. It is tolerable for short trips when piano is needed but not readily available, but if we had to use this stand regularly, it would be returned as unacceptably shaking.2. The assembly instructions are poorly written and confusing. The top supporting bars have asymmetrical holes and one of them is designed to be attached on the left, the other one on the right. Of course they are not marked and the instructions do not even mention it. (this is needed because legs which form X-shape are offset relatively to each other, so supporting bars should also be offset by the same amoung to compensate for it). The bottom legs are the same on both side. It takes one wrong assembly attempt to learn it and figure it out, but still, why not labelling them?3. The supporting bars on which keyboard rests are fairly long and have padding only on their front and rear ends. There is wide gap in rubber padding in the middle. Our digital piano, and I would imagine any type of modern keyboard, is much narrower than the distance between the supporting pads. Consequently, if used as shipped, front of the keyboard rests on 5 mm thick pads, while the back rests on the bare metal pipe in the middle of the support. This puts keyboard in a tilted position, with keys inclined towards the rear. I had to buy separate sticky pads of similar thickness (about 5 mm) and secure them with a tape, to level the keyboard.The summary is, you get what you paid for. OK for an occasional use, not recommended for regular use.

Solid stand...worth the $$
