I would say that the condition is "new" but I probably used it once or twice. I have three music stands and this one was the backup to the backup! Literally like brand new, not a scratch on it. This is a heavy-duty professional steel stand, not one of the lesser variety. These are $50 at Guitar Center and Musicians Friend and they never go on sale. 3-five-2-three-7-one-1-one-1-one
