I already owned about three guitar stands, none of them exceptionally expensive or from a reputable brand, and they are all perfectly usable. This thing, on the other hand, wobbles and folds, the guitars stand shakily in it and it looks like the stand will not last very long. The problem presumably stems from the clumsy design: the typical stand with two legs that fold open triangularly are just much simpler and more effective, but this kind of design requires all the parts to be solid and fit together firmly. This is unfortunately not the case and I will soon replace this stand with a more reliable model, perhaps a little more expensive, but in the end, even stands from the most reputable brands do not cost a fortune.
