How To Set Up RKS30X:

Video of RKS30X:

Description:

The RKS30X is in my opinion the best keyboard stand on the market. I will explain why. First off this uses a push button mechanism to adjust the height up and down. With the RKS30X You will not have to sit there turning a knob like with conventional X stands. With this one, you hit a button and you can adjust the height of the stand quickly and easily. This mechanism is actually also way more sturdy than the older technology. Most X stands have square shaped tubes.

The Rockville RKS30X has circular tubes. Our engineers found that circular tubes are more sturdy and are stronger and more durable. These can withstand a ton of impact. The weight capacity of this model is 132 pounds. This is a conservative rating. I weigh 160 pounds (pure muscle of course) and I was able to lean all my body weight onto this unit with my feet totally in the air and this unit supported me easily. We rate this at 132 pounds capacity although it can really handle more than this. The tubing is 1 MM thick. This is thicker than other similar looking models on the market. We spared no expense in manufacturing the best quality X stand.

We added thumbs on the top of the stand where your keyboard sits to ensure your keyboard is snug and can not fall on the floor accidentally. The rubber feet on these have ridges so that even if the floor is not level, the stand will sit sturdy. The rubber feet also will stop the stand from sliding on slippery floors.

The locking mechanism uses top quality parts coupled with amazing craftsmanship. These are truly the best built stands. These are double X braced and can fold up quickly making them extremely portable and convenient.

Features:

• Rockville RKS30X Double X Braced Keyboard Stand with Push Button Lock Mechanism
• Push Button Mechanism Allows Quick Height Adjustments
• Circular Tubes are More Durable and Longer Lasting than Conventional Square Tubing
• Rubber Bumpers
• Rubber Feet With Ridges Accommodates Unleveled Floors
• Folds flat for easy storage and travel
• Thumbs for securing keyboard in place
• Made of 1MM very thick metal construction
• 6 height settings, 15.7"-36.6"
• Base Spread: 15.35"-36.22"
• Weight Capacity: 132 lbs
