Has it's uses but not universal
I bought this stand because I was intrigued by the design and it looked like it could be easily carried around. The plan was to use it for live shows to hold an electric Strat shaped guitar.
While the shape is really cool and the folding mechanism is a really good idea, there are a couple of cons that prevent me from rating this higher:
- The stand is flimsy and does not look like it would survive much beating and being careful with portable guitar stand is not what I was planning
- The fold out procedure is very easy to get wrong and if you apply a little too much force while opening from the wrong end, well mine doesn't quite close fully anymore.
- The guitar slides and while this isn't a problem if you set it carefully, it is impossible to just quickly set it on the stand like you do with a metal one
To sum up, it is a good portable stand if you are very careful with it and, well, this is the type of equipment you don't want to worry about. For my use, a metallic stand from Millenium is a miles better deal.

Flimsier than i expected
Got this for ease of packing and transport. The small form factor is great if you have to travel quite a bit. its easy to use and simple to adjust.
The issue I have with it is that it may be a bit too lightweight. your average guitar should sit just fine, but I find that i have to be quite careful with mine or it may randomly fall over. the plastic is very thin and i have doubts about how long this unit will last. I'll update after some road use.

Not the most solid but very portable
I bought this stand primarily for mandolin but have also used it for electric and acoustic guitar. The sliding rubber supports allow for adjustment to fit the size of instrument. It's fairly lightweight plastic which has pros and cons: it folds up small and is easy to carry (or slip in a gig bag), but it's not as stable as a more solid metal stand. I've found that with the supports slid back for a smaller instrument it is less stable at the front, even lifting off the ground a little, but is much better with the supports slid forward and the instrument leaning back.

very compact and light, but ...
this would be great for taking to a gig or jam, but in your own house/studio you'd prefer something more solid really
Seems quite well made to me

Good for value but lack of stability
Does the work for 7 eu.. plastic and unstable but lightweight and very foldable. Doesn't work on bass guitar.

Not suitable for electric guitars
Bought as a mobile solution for electric guitar. But, under the weight of almost any guitar, the legs of the stand diverge and the guitar is in danger of falling. I had to tie my legs with a strap to put on one of my lightest guitars.

Average
It's just too flimsy and unstable and it looks like it could break at any moment, but it manages to hold my bass guitar.

Practical
Very easy to use and foldable, so I can carry it inside my bag or in the guitar case/bag. It fits both acoustic and electric guitars. It's not very stable and seems a little fragile. The guitar is very low, so - in example - if you have an acoustic guitar with the cable going out from the guitar center axis (as many acoustic guitars have) you need to have an angled jack or plug it out any time you lay the guitar on this stand ... it can be annoying!

Guitar stand
Well it is not the best of stands but can be really handy since it fits in a gig bag!
It is somewhat flimsy, which reduces its stability. With that said, it will hold a guitar upright, but will not withstand a knock.
Reason to buy this is if you need to have a spare guitar during a function and don't want to carry one of those bulky stands around. This is a good solution at a bargain price. Just make sure that where it is placed there is no danger of people hitting it.
A stand that will do its job, but not as my main guitar stand. Rather as a backup.

good for portability
I am very happy with the portability of this stand - a great idea that I've been waiting a while to see. The folding mechanism is well thought out and it supports my guitars (electrics and spanish) without problem. So...the positives are weight, portability, suitability for purpose and the price which I also think is reasonable.
On a slightly negative note, it is all plastic and doesn't seem particularly tough so I don't think, unfortunately given the convenience, that it's an ideal choice for the gigging guitarist.
I would love to see a similar product made of stronger materials and would gladly pay more but otherwise, not a bad buy for the hobbyist/lighter user.
