Does the job well, eventually
Works well. Keeps my guitars within reach, while at the same time saving space and keeping them safe. No chance of flipping over or anything like that. I was suspicious at first at the lower "self-balancing" arm, which holds the weight of the guitar. It's not that it's flimsy or weak, it's just a little unnerving as the arm can swivel freely along it's axis, until you put the guitar on it, and rest it against the neck support. Then the weight of the instrument keeps the arm balanced in the right position.
The 3 stars for quality: right after assembly (which took all of 3 minutes), one of the neck lock springs just came loose and it was a fairly difficult to put it back to where it needs to be (involving pliers and screwdriver for leverage etc). I noticed there's really not much holding it in place. It's just a spring with a curved end that rests against the metal arm, on both sides. It's not tucked in a little hole or anything like that, so I could see how that can happen. A lot of potential to improve on the design here.
That said, once the spring was back in place, it didn't came off again. It's been a month now and I'm fairly happy with this holder. I have 2 strat style guitars and a smaller acoustic (gs-travel) on it.

Well-built and practical guitar stand
This stand is great for holding guitars in a visible and compact way. I prefer the design to the "bookshelf"-type stands where the guitars are all facing each other, and you can only see the one on the end.
Some other reviewers didn't like the safety hooks for the necks, but I have grown to love this feature. They come unclamped easily (you just press downwards), and don't require a lot of hassle. This is particularly nice when you want to move the entire rack, which I do frequently to vacuum in the studio, etc.

Space Saver
Definitely recomending for home use. Does the job. Using for my two electric guitars (strat and tele) and one acoustic guitar. Is stable and definitely space saver.

Great stand, good space saver
Really good for storing 3 guitars in a tight space. I find the spring loaded neck holders a little inconvenient, but not a major issue

Surprised
I figured this one might be a bust due to pricing and having somewhat mixed experiences with these types of stands, but no.
The thing is stable, easy to assemble and feels like quality.
The "flip-it" hangers are secure and easy to use.
Currently holds both electric and acoustic guitars with no issues.

Great for the price - Don't bother with anything cheaper, buy this, save time
After reading probably hundreds of comments for similar sub-€50 stands, I went with this, and I'm so glad. To save you the time, every other budget model seems to have a glaring issue, e.g.: stability, uncovered metal bits scratching guitars, guitar bodies touching/laying on each other, stands losing stability if all guitars aren't in place, etc. etc.
After a week, I can confidently say this has none of those. I have an electric, a bass, and a GA-body acoustic on it, there's plenty of room between them, nothing touches, nothing feels wobbly. I can even safely pick up and move the stand with all guitars in place. I'd say it saves more space than the other, wide type of stands, also robot vacuums can safely go under it.
There's just one missed opportunity, the holders could've easily been fixed in place if they included something like a washer/stopper. Honestly you can put just some patafix (or even gum) at the end points, and that'll keep them stable, I'm just surprised they didn't include that. Not a dealbreaker at all, doesn't affect stability when guitars are placed, it occasionally makes placing guitars take about two seconds longer. Other than this, I can't think of a better design for the price.

Very stable and compact stand
This stand is amazing, very stable, easy to use, and compact!
I bought it to keep all of my 3 guitars at home at an arm's length, and to keep them from getting bumped over by my cat - it serves both purposes very well. Assembly takes 5 minutes and it comes with very comprehensible instructions, no cons after about a year of use.
