I got my 5-guitar stand last week. It was delivered very quickly and only required a minimal amount of assembly. There were no instructions (that I could see) in the box but it was a no-brainer. All (both) tools included. This is by far the best affordable guitar stand on the market. It keeps the guitar 'centred', i.e., doesn't twist and risk hitting another guitar in the stand. The rubber cradles at the top and bottom are sturdy enough to give support but not so rigid as to risk indenting the guitar. I stayed clear of the metal stands with rubber (neoprene) as that material softens over time and you're the effectively resting your guitar on barely padded metal. I am very happy with my stand and would highly recommend it to others. I can't comment on stage robustness as it never has or will leave my house but the overall build quality appears to be good. Thanks VFM!
