I keep a handful of instruments out in our living room at all times. This stand is great. For a start, it will keep my guitars safe, the stand is very stable. Unlike some other stands, it will not waver if I put the instrument down at a less-than-perfect angle. Still, for me, even more important is how nice it looks in our living room environment.
My spouse usually isn’t thrilled by all my music stuff, but since the arrival of this stand, I have been told more than once how nice my
vintage electrics look. This alone is worth the price and more. Mine is the oak version, I couldn’t be happier.
