Not for offsets
It’s alright quality in general I guess, and I think that you would have an issue with acoustics or even lighter electric guitars.
However, the offset body and weight of my Fender Jaguar was apparently too much for this little piece of gear. After a couple months, it started to be very wobbly, as if both legs were moving away from each other every time I laid the guitar on them.
Over a month after that, it simply broke completely - I once laid the guitar and both legs just separated. The little plastic bit on the top (where the back of the body rests) just disintegrated into bits somehow, leaving hidden screws to dent the laquer on the back of the Jag’. Not cool.
All in all, if you buy something cheap, I guess you can’t complain when it breaks on you. I ended up throwing this one out and putting a little more money to buy one of the Hercules stands (guitars hang by the neck on them, so no problem for offsets) as I would rather invest a little more buck to avoid having to pay for paint jobs on a 1.2k€ guitar.
Though I’m sure if you’ll be using it for acoustics or very light guitars that you don’t pick up too often, it’ll be just perfect.

Stable stand, but could be better
Nice little low-profile stand which folds up flatly. The only flaw is that the top part (which touches the back of the guitar) is made of hard-ish plastic. This is fine for my Stratocaster clone which has a metal joint between the body and neck at that exact location, but my other guitar (a Hagstrom Ultra Swede) is made from solid wood with no metal on the backside of the neck. I can't/won't use this stand for that guitar, since it risks scratching the back. It would be nice if they used a softer material here that wouldn't scratch wood.

Solid but too much lean!
I have a few of these stands which I use at home and for gigs. They're very light and solidly-built, and they seem to do a good job of holding a guitar. However, they do lean the instrument back quite dramatically - I prefer the "A" acoustic version which seems to hold electric/bass guitars just as well but stands a bit more upright, and can be placed against a wall for a bit more protection.

No fallen basses yet
I use this to hold up my 5 string bass. It's strong, sturdy and reliable. Just be warned that the cradle arms can easily knock and damage pots (particularly dual stacked ones) if you do not place the guitar correctly (in my case, a sire m7 5 string)

Miss neck stability
Having used the stand for a couple of weeks Ive bought a different stand since with a holder at the neck area as well as the base of the guitar. This product is fairly stable but with kids and a dog in the house I didn't want to risk it and bought this other one to ensure sidewards stability.
Pros: Affordable
Cons: Missing neck stability

Not so convenient with stratocaster
The right hook rests against the wire on the Stratocaster, so it will be inconvenient to put the connected guitar on the stand.

Holds my P Bass fine
I was a bit worried that it wouldn't be able to take the weight of a bass guitar but it does the job fine.
Could use some extra padding to support the back.
It was cheap, so wasn't expecting much from it... although now checking other reviews, people mention it can stain your guitar finish... that hasn't happened to my low priced bass but I'm not going to take the chance on any expensive guitars and will probably wrap up the supports and add extra padding to it.
I'll probably spend a bit more on my next guitar stand, the idea of it staining lacquer finishes has really freaked me out.... although that hasn't happened to me yet after a couple months of use.

Cheap and Functional, but...
...according to the accompanying flyer in the packaging "The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC floor and after some time cause permanent dark stains."
Why this isn't mentioned in the site's product description (perhaps alongside the bit about 'not being suitable for long-term use for guitars with nitrocellulose lacquer finish) is beyond me.
I used inexpensive felt pads (found at any home/hardware store) to create a barrier between the rubber and my flooring.
That said, these little stands to the trick for my inexpensive little family of guitars.

It's not a bad product but the part where you place the guitar's body could have been made of a softer material and also the stability could have some improvements (I'm using it for: Les Paul, Telecaster, Precision bass)
