I routinely use mine to stretch out four visible pages at a time, but that does require a minor feat of balance given the narrowly linear extensions. Clipping to those extensions as possible/necessary helps, especially in outdoor and potentially windy conditions.

It's light and compact and works very well but does have some limitations. In particular, it's a bit tippy in windy conditions (I play outdoor band concerts at times) or when you put anything very heavy on it (like a large gig book). It also on the narrow side for pieces that run more than two pages. I'm thinking of the Manhasset portable stand for those occasions where the K&M isn't going to work so well. It's heavier and more cumbersome to tote around, but also more stable with a wider desk.

An alternative is RGB. Both are made in Germany or at least made to German standards. They will cost from 25 to 35 euro depending on where you buy them.
