(More customer reviews)The Wire Music stand is exactly what it states, a wire music stand.
The extension pieces for the stand, to enable it to be folded out, are of a thin wire like material. With extended use, it is possible that this is a stand that you cannot expect to last for a very long time. I guess the old saying "You get what you pay for" holds true here.
After some playing around with mine I finally got it to unfold. The supports for the top piece were you place the music, are pretty weak and were not caught together. I was actually afraid I was going to break it trying to get it to unfold the first time. I can see that if you place anything that is very heavy on this it could bend, or possibly break.
As for sturdiness, I would say it is pretty sturdy. I have not placed anything really heavy on it, but if you do, I can see that it could tip over. Even when you extend it there is a wing nut that tightens to hold it at the correct angle, but it is tightened onto a thin piece of metal. The base of the top, is pretty thin also. Basically don't put anything too heavy, or any really thick music book on this stand.
There are also page holders that fold over to hold down your pages. I find this very useful for my music books.
The legs are probably the strongest part of the whole thing. As long as you don't hit the stand, or put anything too heavy it should stay pretty sturdy. It holds up to my page turning and pressing the pages under the page holders.
The case is pretty good. It holds the folded up stand very well. You have to be sure to fold it up correctly to get it into the bag. It also comes with a strap that can be used for carrying.
Over all I am satisfied with the purchase. It performs what I want it to do and it was fairly cheap. I would have like to see a little more sturdy construction than it is. Overall if you are looking for something short term, longer term with proper care, this is a good cheap option. I would also recommend this item to any parent with a child taking up a music instrument. A parent may not know if their child will want to stick with the instrument for a long time, and they may not want to put a lot of money into a stand. That is where this could be of benefit.
