How "foldable" is it? Looks like base collapses and stem may retract, but otherwise doesn't look like it gets very portable without a carrying case.

The platform where you place the music is one piece and does NOT collapse. I did NOT find this stand to be convenient to assemble nor was it particularly portable.

If you're looking for a really portable stand, you'd do much better buying one whose music-rest folds up. That part of this stand is a very sturdy tray measuring 18+ inches x 13+ inches . The value of this stand is its solidity, not its great portability.

This stand is not a portable solution, however for the price it is very sturdy and durable.

The legs fold in, stem retracts but I would have to say it's on the heavier side. These work for me (we bought 25) because they are stored in closet and we're really not having to transport them far, just in and out of the closet. It's a very sturdy stand but I would probably choose another model if I had to lug it around.

the base does collapse and stem does retract. the sheet music holder can be taken off stand. i would buy a carrying case for this stand. it isa very strudy, high quality stand. for the money i don't think you will find a better stand. yours truly,carol r.

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

It is NOT a folding device. It can be lifted by the handle near the foot end of the device and rolled where ever you want the device, but it does not fold up.

I have not tried to do that, although the instructions said it should be fairly "easy" to fold it up. Not convinced it's all that easy. Sorry I can't be of more help. Don't the instructions give any info?

It's easy to collapses. I don't know how it would be to carry. It does have a latch to hold it closed when folded.

It does not collapse any more than just folding together. This makes it awkward to carry about.

Hello, there are 2 wheels on the frame, so that when it is folded up, you would have to tip it towards you to roll it. It isn't particularly easy to move, but not impossible. I think the wheels are there more to get it in position rather than to move it on a regular basis.

Hi Doug, This "stand" does not retract or fold,hence it will not fit in a case. It is, however, very lightweight.

I would say it's not terribly portable. It is rather lightweight, but tall and bulky. I certainly would not want to take it apart and re-assemble it. Putting it together was not fun and I would not want to deal with that over and over.

Sort of...its a bit difficult to fold I have to say but if its flat it'll stay. I think some a clip may have come with it but I have not figured out how to use it. It wouldn't be something I'd have my parent try to fold up themselves and get it into a car. My parent mostly uses it just in the house.

I have taken it camping only twice now but have not had a problem with it folding on its own. You just need to be aware that it will fold if you put pressure on the top so always grab by the handle or under the rim.

sorry for the delay........but, I bought this for my father. he uses it once in awhile for events. As far as I know it is just inconvenient to carry something else. When he uses it for cane purposes, he has it folded up. But, it does require some thought to not let it 'bang' on surrounding items like in a store. Mostly he has used it in outdoor event situations where there is a lot of walking and then he can rest without having to walk to find a bench or a chair.

I personally would not say it is portable but it is not heavy to carry. Its not a collapseable stand.

It's not set up to fold away. It is light enough you can move it to a different area if two people move it together.

I am using this device everyday so have not folded or put it away! Sorry I cannot help.

It is not foldable. Its narrow so it can be put in a corner without taking up a lot of room

It doesn't fold up. You'd have to disassemble it. It's not too difficult to disassemble and re-assemble, but it's more of a pain than merely folding it up.Truthfully, I don't know that I'd use it to travel and gig with...especially when you have it setup at the higher levels. It's stable enough for home use for me at the higher levels, but I wouldn't trust drunks around it. I'd pay the extra cash for something for stable.
