3 months that I use, it does its job as the guitar does not move it once and do not fall off, safeguards foam prevent any mischief. Before I had a booth with a long stem, but ultimately this stand despite being much lower supports better guitar, and takes much less space when folded. I'd keep long as it is effective and that it folds flat. For 15 euros is good value for money, I would do this choice without hesitation.
