Go metal when you need a heavy duty keyboard stand.
I was searching for an elegant piano stand and couldn’t find something near to my expectations. So I looked to IKEA and found the GALANT System, which is really heavy built and can be easily expanded.
All you need for a rock solid heavy duty keyboard stand:
I set up the GALANT base according to IKEA instructions.
Then, added another IKEA leg to the top left corner of the table to hold up my monitor.
Works perfectly!

#1 A keyboard stand that looks like a piano
With just a few IKEA materials, Neil made a keyboard stand that looks like a piano. It looks miles better than the double X foldable stand. Read more.
#2 ODDVALD keyboard stand
I bought two Oddvald trestles as I was inspired by this hack but both would have been overkill for my little keyboard. I then worked out this way to use a single trestle as the keyboard stand base.
It took 3 or 4 hours though I did it over a few days to let paint and glue dry.
The cost is £10 for the ODDVALD trestle and £7 for table top wood. I owned everything else already. Read more.
#3 LACK piano bench
I bought my wife a digital piano, but didn’t want to buy a piano bench since they tend to be fairly expensive. So I took a trip to IKEA and had a browse of the As-Is section.
I found a pine Lack shelf and some parts from a different discontinued pine shelf, which I decided to chop up and attach to the LACK as legs. Read more.
