How we ranked these music stands
Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: home music stand
Decide floor, desktop or both
The MOSEN and EASTROCK picks convert from a floor stand to a desktop stand by rotating a nut. The New Bee pick uses a tripod base, and the Hamilton pick is an orchestra stand. A dual-use stand suits a player who practices at a desk and also plays standing, while a single floor stand suits a fixed practice spot.
Check height range for sitting and standing
Height ranges differ across these picks. The MOSEN pick adjusts 28 to 55 inches, the EASTROCK pick adjusts 28 to 54 inches, and the Hamilton pick adjusts 26 to 48 inches. The MOSEN and EASTROCK ranges cover sitting and standing positions. Check the top of the range when you play standing and the bottom when you play sitting.
Look at weight and packing for moving it
The MOSEN pick weighs 1.7 lbs and folds down with a carry bag. The EASTROCK pick weighs 2.4 lb and folds with a detachable bookrest and a carry bag. The New Bee pick folds to 44cm with a carrying bag. The Hamilton pick weighs 2.5 lb. Compare folded size and bag when the stand moves between rooms.
