Innox ISA 01 MKII Music Stand
Surprisingly poor quality. As others have experienced, the top tube could not be locked. I removed the plastic clamp and on close inspection it was obvious that a small piece of flashing from the mould was preventing the clamp jaws from closing properly. I cut this off with a stanley knife, re-assembled the stand and it now works correctly.
The next problem was that it took a lot of strength to push the top tube into the plastic fitting on the tray, even with the clamp screw fully undone; getting it out again was frustratingly difficult. I had to make a tool from dowel with coarse abrasive paper glued to it; I put this into a cordless drill and used it to sand the inside of the tray clamp until the top tube fitted correctly.
The three legs and their clamp seemed to have been made in a different factory because they give the impression of good quality, operating smoothly with no looseness or rattling at all. I now have a fully working stand, but I have awarded only one star because no-one should have to correct manufacturing defects before using the product. It is a pity that these faults were allowed to pass, because the stand would otherwise be very good.
