I read in the reviews that someone had an issue with the sheet stand not doing a good job holding the sheet in place. Just wonderin, anyone else?

It is not the best, but the keyboard is great and the stand works for a thin book.

Hey Martin, I use two of these daily for work to hang current job orders on. I am 95% happy with it 1 year later. I'm still trying to figure out why once in a while it doesn't seem to act normal. That being said, it's a GREAT product. To answer your question specifically, YES! It's pretty easy. To release you have to lift up. To add is even easier. Some things I hang is only one sheet, sometimes it's as many as 9-10 sheets thick right next to it. The odd things I'm talking about is... sometimes they just fall... no explanation. This has happened maybe 10 times in 1 year, not often for using everyday! Sometimes when I release, other papers close by will fall as well. Bottom line, definitely would recommend!

How has your luck been with these new sheets so far? I have bought two pairs of these in the past and now I just bought the ivory set as it is back in stock. Now I am a bit concerned as to what people are saying as well!

Interesting. I haven't had any problem with it. I just press one side of the clear cover and pivot it up. Pressing on both side makes it a bit more challenging.

Im guessing you assembled the front of the drawer upside down. I did the same thing on one of my and the drawer would not close all the way. It would hit the bottom lip of the stand. Hope this helps.

I asked my son (whom the stand was purchased for), and I am sorry to report that he does not think your book will stay on the stand. I used one of my old college math books as an example for him to judge by, so I would suggest looking for another music stand or finding some way to attach an extension to the lip in order to make it wider. Otherwise, the stand is very sturdy and has performed well over the last year. It easily collapses for transport and the moving components haven't worn out. I think it would definitely support the weight of your textbooks; the width of the lip is the only obstacle. Hope this helps!

Hi Medi, I'm out of town right now so I can't go to my own bed and experiment with the sheet. All I can say is that it seemed pretty standard to me . . . do you regularly have trouble with standard fitted sheets? If so, you might have the same problem with these. Write back if you want me to experiment a bit when I'm home again (Sunday, Jan. 5) and get back to you with more info.

Hi John, I'm the original poster, who bought it for my 92-year-old Dad! Hahahaha. Anyway, I finally did get the stand to work. It required a little maneuver: try gently pulling the stand out and then jiggling it a little. It seemed to pop into an adjustment mode that allowed me to easily close it up. Each time I did it, though, I had to jiggle and play with it a little bit til I finally got the hang of it. Hope this works.

There are two strips of velvet type material on the bottom to keep it from moving easily when under a sheet. If you were not going to put a sheet over it, then yes it would move easily and would not work as designed.

I haven't noticed this with mine. We do have a very thick mattress though so once the half sheet is tucked in tight it stays there.

Hello,I did not have any challenges. I have owned my stand now for eight months. Solid stand. what is the issue?

I have not had this problem, so all I can think of is that yours is not put together properly. Wish I could help more.

Yes. The problem is, Jessica, that after you've unfolded the desk, it won't stay in place and support even a small book of sheet music unless the ledge is holding it in place. This also wouldn't be a problem, except that there's nothing to keep the ledge in place besides friction and gravity. You can't get the stand to hold the position you see in the picture. You have to put the ledge on the top, and rest the book on the bottom. Then it will only hold provided that you not touch it.

I've never had a problem with mine. I liked it so much that I bought another one. Make sure you have it together tight.

Hi Ann,I've had mine for quite a while. As much as the "visual" design is beautiful, unfortunately, the "functional" design has issues ... All related to one area ... The tightening screw on the back, which is supposed to keep the desires position of the stand "locked in"Unfortunately, the screw mechanism is not built well. If you tighten too much, it will break, if you don't, then after one or two 'put in/take out' visits by your iPad, it all gets loose and wobbly. So for your proposed usage area, I think this piece might be a bit fickle and sensitive to touch. Mine is for home use, so it meets my needs. But you might need something more rigid that holds the iPad more strongly. Just trying to give an honest feedback. Hi Ann,I've had mine for quite a while.

Carolyn - If you use your stand pushed against the back of a counter, it will hold a sheet of paper upright. I have also put single sheets in sideways and partially or completely closed the stand and stood it on its side, but you lose the angled view. If you are using it completely free-standing, you will need some support for the sheet of paper. I use the removable piece of Plexiglas that I saved from an old wooden cookbook holder!

The corners of the fitted sheet do hold in place, however the whole sheet slips down a bit. After the bed goes up the sheet is not tight and somewhat loose. However, I don't see how it could be any other way. I just pull it upward somewhat when making the bed.
