Picking one
Somewhere in the steps above you have to actually buy a music stand. Rankquant ranks the 2-in-1 Dual-use Floor & Desktop Music Stand, Adjustable 16.5"-51" Book Stand, Solid Wood against the rest of its Office & Industrial catalogue by re-centring every review on the reviewer who wrote it — 7 calibrated reviewers on this one — rather than averaging raw stars, which is why a four-star product with tough reviewers can outrank a five-star one.
