If I needed to replace this I would get the same one again.

Sound
"Sound" does not apply to this item, but I don't want the score diminished so I put a 10. On the other hand, it's well padded, and doesn't make any noise if used correctly, which is handy on stage.

Features
Sturdy, folds for easy portability. Only complaint is that, after a few years of use, the pads on the bottom bars have gotten cuts or cracks in them (though they still work OK, just look worn), and some of the pads on the top short bars that go between the guitar necks have come off. Various people use this, including a teen rock band, and it gets moved to and used in various buildings and venues. I suspect with less use, particularly less use by teens, this might not have suffered the same damage. The metal frame has held up well, and it's still usable, though I'm careful to make sure there are pads on the bars on both sides of My guitar!

Ease of Use
Sturdy, lightweight, portable. It's about as good as it gets. My only critique is that if the bottom of your guitar is not firmly resting on Both of the bottom bars it will probably fall. If you're careful to make sure your guitar is firmly resting on both bottom bars and the top bar before you let go of it, you'll be fine.

Quality
Frame is great. No noticeable scratches or dents, it has held its shape and remained sturdy through… read more much use. Pads could be sturdier, particularly ones on bottom bars that guitars rest on. Pads on bars between guitar necks come off and get lost; I would really like to see a design change that prevents them from coming off easily, and I would like to see more durable pads, at least on the bottom bars. The pads on the long top bar seem OK, or at least are in much better shape than the ones on the bottom bars.

Value
This is an excellent value. It has held up well with several years of hard use. I have a friend who uses this exact stand for touring and his is in mint condition. I don't think he lets any teenagers near it.

Manufacturer Support
I haven't contacted the company. I'm about to do so to see about replacements for the lost/damaged pads. I'll have to update this. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, hence the score of 9.

The Wow Factor
It's a guitar stand. It is attractive as such things go, I suppose. Sexy? Depends on your imagination. ;-)
