This stand is perfect if you have limited space or if you like to be mobile but still want a relible stand. I have accidentally hit my two guitars (strat & semi-hollow) resting in their ST101's from the front, back or sideways, not to mention the close attention from Children between the ages of 1 to 10 and so far no guitar has ever fallen to the floor.
Of course a larger, heavier stand will naturally be more stable and reliable but for this size and compared to a "full-size" budget stands it's definitely a 5-star in stability. Quality - well a few hundred folds and unfolds in not noticeable so I figure that is as good as you can expect.
