SKS-22 XB D. Keyboard Stand : Careful Matching Required!

This is a tricky one. In my experience this stand has some strengths and weaknesses. Depending on what you want to use this for (and more importantly, WITH) this may or may not best the best solution for you.

This is what I've found (in comparison to the Ultimate Apex which I use and from which the SKS-22XB is clearly derived):

Strengths:

Good build-quality

Chunky, rugged base stabiliser

Arms fold directly into the stand rather than being removed (as in the Apex)

Relatively cheap (at about half the price of the Apex)

Weaknesses:

No handle - therefore not easy to pick up with one hand

The column itself is s little shorter than the Apex. (If you're 6' plus you might find the top tier not quite high enough)

Less stable with longer/heavier keyboards.

I initially put my Yamaha S90ES and Motif XS7 on this stand - NOT good. Too much instability. Because there is no clamp (as on the Apex) when the lower board is against the column you can't see the display. yet pull it out a little and it loses stability. Instead I use my Apex for these boards and the Adam Hall holds my Korg Trinity and Korg CX-3. These are both lighter and shorter (61-keys) and the Adam hall stand works fine.

Verdict? Great for smaller boards and synths. Be wary of using this for longer & heavier stage pianos/workstations
