Could easily be made better
I ordered two. My first thought when getting the boxes was given their small size I thought that there's no way they can be as sturdy as they would need to be to hold 4 or 5 of my guitar cases. I assembled them and while they do an adequate job, I thought they could be better and here’s why.
As long as they are on a hard surface then they should be fine but if they aren’t, there is a fair amount of sway backwards given the relatively short legs on the bottom. They eventually stabilize but if the bottom side legs were longer i.e. deeper, it would minimize the tendency to lean backwards when you place a sturdy guitar case or cases on the rack when it's on a soft carpeted floor. In order to make the guitar cases stand more upright when on the stands and thus minimize the tendency to sway, I bought some foam insulation at Home Depot (the kind that you use to plug leaks when installing HVAC) and used two-sided tape along the upper braces so the cases would stand more upright and thus not cause the stand to want to lean back as much (see photos). If the bottom side braces were a little deeper, that would provide greater stability and solve the problem.
Also, if you put the rack on a hard surface, you'll notice that the bottom part of the side braces don’t make complete contact with the floor. They only make contact at the front and back corners (again, see photos).
The wood also looked a little dried out to me so a good coating of lemon oil revived it. They do the job and I will buy again when and if my guitar collection warrants but there’s always room for improvement.
