I used them for a stage piano which was located very close to a wall and as a result its own music rest couldn't be used. This stand is kind of OK but it's very unstable and I couldn't turn pages without moving it around. If you only position a few pages of printed music it's OK, but if you will be using bigger scores that won't stay open easily and need for you to press pages, etc., or turn pages in the hurry, you would be disappointed. The build quality is good otherwise.
