I would not re-buy this
Simply for me it does not do the job. I used if for a while, then I tried to "adapt" it (by adding some screws...); it helped, but on the end I bought something better.
To have a good shoulder rest, you need to pay the price and/or go through trial and errors. I tried several (from cheap Internet online company) and I got something cheap that fits my needs.
In any case be aware it depend much on the way you hold the violin vs. your physical characteristics. So I may not be completely correct in my appreciation.

Occasionally pops off the violin.
For a cheap shoulder rest it's not bad and definitely a step up from a cushion on an elastic band or one of them old fashioned upholstered metal ones whose rubber feet fall off all the time. Unfortunately the plastic is a bit too bendy for the design and the metal bolts that attach the feet too thin, so it pops off my violin occasionally. I've had worse, but next time will spend £5 or so extra in the hope of something better.

Worth the price
If you're on a low budget or simply looking for a cheap shoulder rest, this is a good option, I find it surprisingly confortable. On the other hand, if you're looking for something that will last, i would stay away from it, the feet are screwed straight into the plastic and even thought it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't feel very stable and within time it might start falling off the violin. I was't really expecting it to be better considering the price I've paid for it.

very basic design
I probably should have spent a bit more money on my violin shoulder rest... the design is very basic and it probably won't last long before it breaks...
