YamahaL85 Keyboard Stand, Black

Upon receiving the package, I noticed that the box had some weight to it, but the packing was top-notch. The use of particle board for construction gives it a robust feel, and the thickness adds to its strength. One aspect that impressed me was that all the hardware is made of metal, allowing for a sturdy assembly by bolting metal to metal. Assembling it was a breeze, and I didn't even need to refer to the instructions.The keyboard securely fits into the stand thanks to strong metal brackets and four bolts, providing an exceptionally stable setup. What I appreciate most is how the stand's design allows the keyboard to align perfectly without any extra width or length, maintaining a sleek and compact appearance. Its height is precisely measured, resulting in a perfect elevation of 29 inches from the floor to the top of the keys, creating an ideal playing position.Compared to other portable keyboard stands, this Yamaha stand stands out as one of the strongest and most aesthetically pleasing ones I've encountered. It gives my keyboard a simple piano-like appearance while saving valuable space. Considering its excellent features and solid build, the $99 price tag makes it an absolute steal.

Three boards in the kit which fits a Yamaha P71 or P45 Keyboard. The finished stand utilizes the keyboard as the top piece, a cross board as a connection between the two side planks which act as the legs. All holes are drilled for supplied screws which affix the brackets holding the cross plank and the two side planks together and which support the keyboard. Brackets are pre drilled to accept retaining screws that go into 4 preset threaded openings in the keyboard itself, when assembled making a very sturdy, stable setup. Height sets the piano keys at the standard recommendation of between 28 and 29 inches. There are metal braces supplied to be installed to prevent the unit from tipping over should one decide not to put the stand next to the wall but I think is unnecessary otherwise. I put mine together myself after I carried it to my apartment. I would advise at least 2 people to handle assembly. The finish was very well done, price was reasonable and screw attachment was accurate. Read the instructions and look at the diagram carefully and with a helper there is no problem assembling. Height is not adjustable with this set up but if you want the keyboard higher I assume you could design a platform to raise it. There is no storage but I'm getting a magazine rack to keep my sheet music and other items pertinent to the set up. Phillips screw driver as I remember.

Shipped fast, arrived NOT broken or damaged. Easy to assemble, and was even more of an upgrade aesthetically than I thought it would be. Prior to buying this, we had our digital piano sitting on a folding gig stand. It worked fine, but looked terrible in our living-room (initially this was set up down in the music room but as the kids have shown more interest we thought it best to have it in our main living area to encourage them to spontaneously play it more often). It looks SOOOOO much better, and as an added bonus, the piano bench can sit underneath it now, which really opens up the room that much more. This thing is also very sturdy. Don't know why we held off so long in purchasing one. Love it.

Very good quality. Arrived perfectly protected, the 4 pieces in sleeves, and styrofoam blocked packaging. Easily assembled by myself with a phillips and it is made to exactly fit the keyboard. (Tip: I used black ties wound together to strap my power cord to the black braceboard below, hiding the cord from dangling in view. Whatever you choose as a tiedown will work. It's nice to have the backboard for keeping cords strapped and hidden 😊)

In all honesty I did almost no research buying this product, I just happen to be aware that yamaha always makes compatible accessories with their keyboards and I needed a keyboard stand so I bought this with the notion being "its yamaha, I'm sure its fine" I thought the keyboard stand would just be the keyboard sitting nestled in a void with nothing anchoring it down, but was happy to find that the keyboard does get screwed into mounts on this and that there is an extra consideration to extend the base with little foot thingies if needed to improve stability. It looks nice, its sturdy, the height is good for a piano and its sturdy, happy with it.

If you know how a screwdriver works you can attach this to your keyboard in just a few minutes. It fits perfectly, as you would expect since it is made specifically for this keyboard. It is IKEA-level quality "wood," but it looks decent enough. Building something yourself to fit this keyboard would be a lot more work, and if they sold one made of better materials it would be too expensive, so this is in the sweet spot.

Sturdy when pounding the keys

This keyboard has great action, just like a grand piano. It is sturdy, easy to set up, and play. I’m so happy I chose this model
