Indeed, as the other reviews say, it takes up space, but it is very beautiful and very resistant air (unlike the small foldable supports that I have seen with my friends and that scared me). This problem is compensated by a mounting (and therefore disassembly) very easy: in a small space, even if it takes two minutes (! No more, I promise) each time, you can remove the holder and fold the foot, everything then stored flat, randomly in a closet or under a bed For the novice that I am, it's great to be able to ask my score, my metronome and tuner directly above my (I do not think I could have done it on a smaller model). I am totally satisfied.
