I bought this music stand to have on an album cover, and it worked great! I included the album cover in the photos. However, now it's just taking up space in my very small house as it doesn't fold up to get tucked away in a closet or under something when not in use. It seems to have been made from an old coat rack base, with cast iron legs, and then the top of some other old music stand. It's VERY sturdy and looks really cool, so if you're looking for something aesthetically pleasing and have lots of space for a music stand that would be out on display all of the time then this is for you!
