To what extent does this stand come apart and fold up? (HoW transportable is it?)

We had the silver chrome stands in high school that had a fold up base and a fold up book stand to fit into a neat three inch cylinder, thirty inches long, but not this music stand. The legs will fold up, but the book holder (19"W,14"H and 5" deep) is a solid, significantly designed holder for the heaviest music books. This book holder is the reason to buy this stand, but it is not easily transportable.

It's in 3 pieces- top, neck and bottom stand. It comes apart in about 10 seconds. It's pretty easy to transport, but it's a bit heavy/bulky. I don't know that I'd want to transport it back and forth daily, but once per week would be fine. The portable ones (we also have one) don't hold sheet music well and are not near as sturdy. Our portable (open one) fell over constantly, so that's why we bought this durable one. I love this conductor stand as do my kids (9 and 10).

Separates into two pieces, but not ideal for transporting as it is heavy and bulky.

It is very sturdy and the pole slides in to short pieces. The flat plate is fixed. I bought another which folds with hinges but not nearly as strong and 1.5 inch binder made it fall.

The base folds up and the tray swivels, but there is always the ledge. All in all it can be portable.

The shelf doesnt fold. The stand compaacts to half, tube inside tube. Kind of heavy.

It could probably be separated, but would leave a large hole in the back of the case where it folds into a recess. One option would be to pry off the top layer, which is the more flimsy folding part. Then you are left with only the sturdier part of the stand, which is usable for not landscape and portrait. But to completely remove the whole thing would leave a major hole. I've considered this myself, but am living with the stand for now.

No, it is not portable or storable. Once it is together it would have to be taken apart to move.

It folds somewhat, but I have a stand clamp or usually an assistant that holds it in place for me so I don't have to worry about it moving.

Yes, it is very portable, but you need fold the book stand, and it has certain weight. I suggest to carry it in a bag nothold on like a big book.

Answer to the question. Unfortunetly it does not fold for storage you need to take it apart.

As the others have said, it folds. It's very useful, but a bit awkward for tiny person like me (4'11") to set up alone. I rely on taller family members to do it.

It folds down flat on the base but it not super maneuverable. The wheels are large so the whole thing is pretty bulky.

This is essentially one piece that folds up easily and can be moved. I wouldn't try to take it apart.

It doesn't FOLD up,but you could take it apart and put it back in the box it came in. You have to assemble it when you receive it.

The platform's dimensions are 19-3/4" x 15-3/4". Yes the stand can be disassembled for travel by removing the top (this is the way it originally comes from the manufacturer) but I am not sure this is something you would want to routinely do since the assembled stand is fairly compact when folded.

Nothing to disassembling however the stand is tight requiring some strength to fold in and out.

No, it can be easily moved. It comes apart in panels. I just moved and brought it with me.

It comes in pieces, you have to attach the back and the arms. So yes,you could unbox it and carry the pieces. It's not heavy. I had no problem moving the pieces around to assemble it.

I am touring and did not bring the stand with me. It is compact but I prefer not to put the stands in the case. I will try it when I return to Florida.

It was easy to assemble and I do not believe you would have to disassemble completely if you wanted to move it or store it flatly. We have not taken it apart, we use it regularly and it has held up well--even for a teen girls sleepover.

YES! It just folds out and ready to go. My grandpa can even set it up and pick it up when they need to get my grandma's electric cart outside.
