Millenium KS-3000 B

Want a keyboard stand that is value for money, sturdy and portable? This one delivers!!
As a keyboard player in an 8 piece band, I wanted something that would give me a smaller 'footprint' on stage. This is my first 'tower' style stand. Let's face it, there are many to choose from. After a bit of research, I found the Millennium KS-3000.
This is cheap (but not cheaply made), rugged and easily portable. It folds easily for transporting in the car and for carrying. (I carry it in a 'speaker stand case').
It sets up in an instant, and supports my 2 keyboards easily, together with a small personal active speaker mounted on the Mic stand adaptor on the top - with no noticeable 'wobble'.
I can route all my cables down the column, secured by the clips - and avoid that 'cluttered' look. I was surprised at how sturdy and stable this stand is. In my opinion it's just perfect. As good as, and probably better than many more expensive stands on the market.

It’s an excellent concept which is especially useful on a small stage where space is tight. It’s stable enough given its small footprint and folds into a very small size. It’s quite heavy so you would expect it to be sturdily made but there are two aspects which really let it down and I’m surprised that someone hasn’t upgraded the design by now. Despite my comments below I do love it and would recommend it but you will have to make some easy modifications.
The first is the handle; it’s a nice idea but it’s not necessary to have a handle that folds nearly flat and most people would prefer a handle that was reliable and comfortable at the expense of it folding. It is attached by two tiny bolts with knurled heads which make it difficult to tighten enough to stop the handle sliding about and causing the wire parts of the handle to dig into your hand. I drilled small indents into the stand to prevent this happening and to mark the balance point. It is very important that the balance point can be found easily. Remember it’s heavy? So when would be the worst time for the tiny plastic pieces holding the wire bits of the handle to the stand to break? Yes, when you’re carrying it. When that happens it hurts and you damage something like the rear bumper of your car or someone’s foot. You can buy spare handles (of the same daft design, look at them!) on this website so Thomann know that they all break.
The second bad point is the way that the legs stow inside the stand with a variation on the ‘ball and spring’ design. Because the legs are not square, the (weak) springs don’t push squarely and get a bit stuck inside so if you try to rest the folded stand upright, a leg or two can drop out and you suddenly have to lift with the entire 7.7kg of the stand on two wires digging into your hand. You might blaspheme.
I will modify my broken handle to a strap design.

I've been using two of these stands for a while now and i like them very much, although they are not without their flaws.

First the good.
1) Beautiful looking.
2) The microphone holder is very sturdy. One of them holds a PC monitor (using a VESA mount) and the other one a sequencer (using a laptop desk/plate purchased off Ebay). The two platforms easily hold heavy keyboards.
3) The stand folds into a easily to move package.
4) It's cheap

Next the bad:
1) A plastic tab on the bottom should prevent the stand from wobbling, but it's still quite wobbly.
2) A carrying handle is placed between the two platforms. This handlebar makes it impossible to put the platforms close to each other. The handlebar can be relocated by unscrewing the microphone holder, but doing this I managed to damage one of the screw's cross heads. It's not possible to obtain replacement screws from Millenium (I asked Thomann customer support).
3) There is no good way to guide wires

I love this stand it has been to many gigs in the past year supporting my synth, laptop and audio interface and it's stood the strength of time, cosmetically it still looks good too, it travels without a case and the odd tiny scratch on it is barely noticeable and pretty good going in my opinion.

The only negative I have to say about this product id the handle that comes built in, it's quite flimsy and hard to get the stand balanced right while using it, I would be much happier having it not there at all and having the extra room for adjusting the two levels.

I would happily buy another one of these again though rather than buying something more expensive.

On first glance quite pleasing, then the bad news starts. The carrying handle was broken right from the start, and is in a really illogical place, its very presence determines the smallest space you can have between your 2 keyboards. Should have read the spec properly but I kind of assumed that it would be possible to adjust the horizontal angle of the arms, so you could have your top keyboard sloping slightly downwards perhaps - it isn't. I'm sure some will love it; certainly it can be assembled much quicker than other stands, but particularly if you're a keyboard player who sits down to play, the position of the top keyboard is just way too awkward,

The stand itself is very good, if you are using it for studio use or personal (at home) use its the best two tier stand for it's very reasonable price.
Unfortunately having gigged with it, its falling apart. The mic boom holder snapped off! the handle broke the day I got it. It looks battered and worn and I've only had it under a year.
The top tier bars are too long and get in my hands way but that could be my key setup as opposed to the product design itself.
All in all its a good product for what you're paying for but I would advise to put a bit more money towards your stand and buy a sturdier solution
