Query: Expensive but worth it.

Very stable. Some minor assembly required (takes about 30 seconds). Appears to be extremely well made. I won't predict that it will last a life time, because it might last longer than that. Under the category of "you get what you pay for", this is well worth the extra bucks. My grandson will most likely pass it on to his grandchildren. Only criticism: the set of floor protectors should come with the music stand rather than having to purchase separately. You really want to have these protectors.
