Does a prefabricated, sturdy keyboard (synth) stand that is also cool-looking, exist?

Where can I find a sturdy keyboard (synth) stand, for one keyboard only, that looks really cool?

I suppose if I was motivated I could go into business making these things, but motivation is null. Point is, I believe folks like NIN and Muse probably get their stuff custom made, and typically keyboard stands are pretty dull. I do not believe this has to be the case. Outside of hiring somebody to do custom metalworking for me, anyone got a lead on something like this? Muchas gracias, MeFiters.

An Apex stand?

Can you be even a little more specific about what "really cool" means to you?

Response by poster: something that doesn't look exactly like the stands that appear to be the common stands of the last oh... well, ever. Ultimate, Rok Steady, etc. They're all kinda blah. Sure, they're functional, the stand has to hold the thing, but there's really been nothing interesting in pre-fab stands that I've seen. I'm not even sure exactly what I want, except that it's sturdy and that if you looked at it on stage you'd go "damn, that thing is badass". Just something different besides a repainted standard stand, I suppose.
