I present the Gator Frameworks Table/Keyboard Stand. An alternative to the traditional X-Stand. I open the box, and then take it through its paces, showing how to adjust, and finally put a keyboard on top to demonstrate how it fits into place.
The width pulls out to adjust to the width of any keyboard. The only limitation I see, might be if the feet on the bottom of the keyboard are offset, and not perfectly lined up.
My overall take on this stand, is it's made of rugged, metal material; but does wobble a bit once you have a keyboard on top of it. I'm confident it can hold a fair amount of weight. However, having said that, I'm not as confident with getting rough with the keyboard (glissando smears, windmill chops, etc.); and how it may knock the stand over. I would be careful with it.

Absolutely stellar review and I love your charisma! I'm thinking of getting this for my home studio, to fit my guitar amp underneath and save some space :)

Thank you for your kind words regarding my charisma (and silly jokes to go along with it).
As for the Gator Stand, be careful not to hyperextend the hinges of the legs in the wrong direction. The welds are not very strong. I mean, they suffice if you don't bend the legs down wrong, but they're not "mighty" either. I broke mine and had to have a friend weld them back together. I'm not saying it's an inferior product, just be careful.

I use this kind of table stand too (I have two K&M, for studio and live).
No more "X-stand" for me 😂

[@B3burner]

Awesome. Yeah, I got tired of kicking the X's, reaching for my pedals. Do you think K&M is a better choice than Gator?

I opened mine up and left side legs tilt inward and are not straight. Is there a way to adjust them? My RD88 is very heavy. Afraid to set it on with legs not straight. My x stand kept collapsing and have not yet tried out the keyboard. I hope there is a way to adjust the legs so they are straight and supportive. Thank you for the video.

@@Iceland874 Be really really careful with those legs! I should probably do a follow up video warning about them. I bent the hinges backwards by accident and broke the soldering from the frame. Had to have it soldered back on.
And yes, the legs are not always perfectly straight. Mine now wobbles a bit. I’m sporting an 18 lb keyboard and I consider it fairly stable. However, the RD88 may be much too heavy. I’m not sure. Just be careful. I have since learned it is not perfect.
