A well constructed made in Europe (Romania I think the label states) music stand. The Ash wood grain is absolutely delicious :-) and for the price an outstanding bargain!!! In terms of use, it adds a real nice touch as a furniture piece in my living room but I use it for my Kindle Fire for watching Netflix mainly hahaha however I play classical guitar and it's ok and does work in sitting position although for me personally i'd like the stand about 3-4 inches lower but it does work for musicians who sit and play you will find rather than looking down at your printed music you will be look at about 90 degree eye line.....maybe that's good for posture! I still like it and that's my only quibble about the stand. I would not return it because it works great for my Kindle Fire plus it looks freaking cool :-)
