Dangerous for a guitar!
The quality at first seemed to be great and the stand is very compact and portable. When I placed my guitar onto the stand, it seemed like it held it pretty firmly. It seemed to hold my guitar almost better than my regular stands.
BUT, after 3 minutes I heard a loud BANG! My $2000 Ibanez JS hit the ground and was dented. I could not believe my eyes.
At first I (wrongly!) thought I might have placed my guitar onto the stand a bit carelessly. I inspected the stand for a couple of minutes and could not find the obvious problem with it and could not understand why my guitar fell from it. I thought it must have been my error. But I was wrong.
Now I placed my guitar EXTREMELY carefully onto the stand, tried to rock it left and right, in every direction to see if it would slip and fall and I made sure that my guitar was sitting safely on the stand.
Now it seemed like it was rock solid.
3 minutes later - ANOTHER BANG! And another dent...
Then I realized that the problem was that a plastic body of the stand is not firm enough, it is too flexible. It starts to warp/bend slowly under the weight of a guitar (And btw Ibanez JS is not the heaviest guitar out there), you don't even notice it. But it keeps warping and bending, very sloowly, its' legs start spreading further and further away, while your guitar slowly slides to side and at one moment it just slips and falls onto the ground.
Maybe it could work on a carpeted floor, which would prevent its' legs from spreading apart, but on a hard floor - no chance.
Extremely dissatisfied and frustrated.

wouldnt trust it
this is actually my first ever bad review on any of the products i got from Thomann.
i was definitely lured by the the price and the design which can take an acoustic and an electric as well unlike other brands who have specific type of stand for each.
but unfortunately the stand is very flimsy, I put my electric bass on it and for some reason the bass fell as soon as i went out of the room ( and that's inside my house , not even a gig) but even it did look flimsy and i was worried to put any of instruments on it , luckily nothing happened to the bass.
pros:
design is interesting
cons:
not reliable , flimsy
*wouldn't recommend

Too Flimsy
OK they don't cost much stands do an important job. Once a guitar falls off one of them you're likely to be cursing that you didn't spend a bit more and get yourself a decent stand. Avoid these stands they really aren't up to the job.
