first off, buy the next size up from the one you think you need - if you have three guitars, buy the stand for 5, if 5 guitar, get the 7! The very compact nature of the stand means there is little space between the guitars when 'fully loaded'. One issue I do have is where the hinge is covered in protective foam - the mounting screw still protrudes so this seems a a bit pointless! Assembly instruction where OK, but the bolts were wrongly identified, so I was initial confused why they wouldn't fit in their designated positions. It up and is doing the job it's supposed to (I have the 5 unit) and for the money I think it excellent - except for the issues noted above.
