Millenium GS-2012

So I bought these to sit extra guitars on that I didn't have space on racks for - they work great on carpets - you can accidentally gently knock them without the guitar falling over - roughly same amount of abuse you could give a regular stand.

On hard wood or laminate floors you can't put medium weight guitars on them, there's not enough grip in the feet and they go wide at the front of the stand - practically had a les paul strap button touching the floor, it's not a big deal and you can mitigate it by tying the front of the stand with string to hold it together or put a felt pad where strap button would be.

Where the stand falls apart completely (not literally) is really heavy guitars - it just splays out under the weight and wants to fall backwards with an Epiphone double neck on it (obviously not its intended use but I thought I would test it anyway)

Overall I bought 5 of these, and only 3 are now in use with strat, tele and acoustic and they hold those perfectly well with no issues with the strat and acoustic being on carpet and the tele being on laminate, I ended up buying a 3 way rack to handle my spare les pauls, but if you have a particularly light les paul it should be ok on a hard floor

Pros:
* Lightweight and compact. Fits in the gig bas easily, so you can always show up to a session or a gig with your own stand. And easy to put it away ito a closet when you don't need it.
* More reliable than beaten up guitar stands provided by venues and rehearsal spaces. You can have your own guitar stand that you trust in a gig bag.
* Really easy to fold and unfold.
* Aljustable for different body widths.
* Has rubber parts at every point of contact with a guitar.

Cons:
* Way less reliable than a proper guitar stand. You need to first really get familiar with it's shortcomings before you trust it with your favourite guitar. If you place a guitar on it off-center, it will eventually fall. But once you learn to use it properly, you won't have any accidents.

Conclusion:
Great choice for scenarios where you can't have a proper heavy duty guitar stand. It's also worth checking D'Addario Guitar Dock as an alternative - it's a different form factor that's way more reliable, more compact, but requires a specific surface to clamp to. But this fold-up stand is more versatile. I use both. But at home I still use proper heavy duty guitar stands, this stand can't replace those.

For my purposes, this stand works fine. It's small, fits easily into a gigbag and supports most of my instruments just fine. I've been using it on a normal 4-string bass, an acoustic bass and regular (acoustic) guitars with no problems at all.

However, when you're using a heavier instrument, like 6 (or more)-string bass I find the stand becoming somewhat unstable and the stand can fall over backwards more easily than I feel comfortable with. This is understandable, considering the weight leaning over the stand with such instruments and basically no counterweight on the side of the stand itself. It was not that important for me in this case, as I bought this stand for a normal 4-string fretless bass, but it is something to be aware of if you're considering buying this for a 6-string bass or more top-heavy instruments.
