Definitely not universal
I'm not going to say this is a bad stand. If you however have a "normal" thickness bass or guitar (4 ish cm) I'd say: steer clear of this one!
I have 2 basses (Ibanez SR300e and a ESP LTD F-105) and both hit the floor when I put them in the stand in a normal "I'm putting this bass down" kinda way. It's only when I really put it on the little lip all the way in the back of the stand that they stand in a decent way. And that way there's 10cm of space being wasted by the two prongs sticking out. Put your guitar further forward and they lean back awkwardly and hit the floor with the stap holders or in case of the F-105 with the pointy bit at the bottom of the guitar.
Having your guitar standing up straight is definitely preferred over leaning backwards but because the "prongs" are so far away from the body if someone was to bump into your guitar, or like a cat would stand against it, it could easily cause your guitar to fall (either out of the stand or "down one step" making the bottom of your guitar hit the floor).
For thicker guitars and hollow bodies this stand might be a lot better because you can actually benefit from the long prongs. The stability of the stand itself (not your guitar in it) is excellent. The build quality seems decent enough. Not overbuild but also not flimsy.
