Good bang for the buck

It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and that is easily hold 7 guitars. It sure beats paying $20 per guitar stand like I have in the past.

Legit customer review. lol

Awesome stand, can fit 2 acoustic guitars, 2 bass guitars, and 2 electrics ^^
it's very light weight but built to do it's job right and
the top folds over the bottom part for max storage
just hard to move around once you have more than a couple guitars on it
my bands thinking about buying another one of these =D

works perfectly!

well, its a simple design but it works just fine. if you know what you're doing when you assemble the unit, its solid! if you take care of your guitars, you wont knock them against each other when you pick them off of the stand.its just...that....simple!

multiple guitar stand

Bought the stand for my husband for Fathers Day. I was able to assemble it myself. He was thrilled with it..so easy to access guitars now. I got a call shortly after ordering it. The Sweetwater employee was very helpful and just wanted to "meet" the person ordering from him. We will use this company again! It was the cheapest price to boot!

Great purchase

If you have a few guitars this makes it way easier than having a bunch of stands cluttering up your area. Little assembly but nothing too complicated.

Great stand for the $$

Great stand for the $$. Padding is excellent, and it's built well. A great buy!

ease of choice

Having several guitars available in one rack during sessions, live performances or even just tuning, polishing up or restringing makes for ease of choice and does away with the clutter of cases. They can go home to their cases later! I use two of these racks and am happy with my decision to purchase them. Easy to assemble, easy to transport and of strong design they will hold most electric guitars and basses. However, if you have a wider body guitar it will not fit into the padded slots and you will have to use the single stands which are easily available.

Sturdy, if Cheap

Quite sturdy, holds seven guitars without flexing at all. Foam seems to be fine, though the instructions recommend not using this stand for nitro-finished guitars. Build quality is a little low - a couple of the tabs were bent and needed to be bent back into position before assembly.

Gets the job done, but you get what you pay for.

The RockStand Multiple "Flat Pack" 7-Instrument Stand

IMO, this is an excellent stand for the money. i have had all nitro basses sitting on it for over two weeks and it has not reacted with their finishes at all. i like it becuase it's sturdy, foldable and lightweight, and your can't beat it for sweetwater's price ( and it was even shipped free! )

Good Product

Very sturdy and holds my guitars secure. Like the idea of the folding top rail for easy transport. Assembly is easy but the trick is not to tighten everything down until you have it all bolted together. Easier to line up all the holes for inserting the bolts and or screws. Only negative is with the assembly instructions in that they could have been a little more specific on a few points but again really no problem. Would recommend this item.

Great addition to my studio

I bought this stand to tidy up my studio. Before getting it, I had guitars leaning up against the wall in cases, which took up too much space. It also wasn't very efficient when I wanted to grab an axe for recording. Now, I just pick the one I want, plug in, and I'm ready to record. Neither the written nor the pictorial instructions were very clear, but I muddled my way through the assembly process and wound up with a very solid and functional stand.

A decent inexpensive stand

Finally, I wanted to condense all my single stands and try and reclaim some space in my studio. I already had one of the tri-stands (3 in a circle type) and a 7 space would be perfect.

Of course I still don't understand what is apparently the high cost of stands, they are just sheet metal but this was the most affordable of the choices.

The construction appeared reasonable, of course I wouldn't lean on it. However the instructions were very wanting, while the assembly was simple of course I put the riser on backwards which then basically acted as a hinge. So as soon as I put a guitar on it, it laid down.

If you have a home studio I would recommend this. If you are a gigging guy (semi-pro or pro) and are thinking about using this on the road, don't. Move on, it won't work.

Could be better, could be worse

This stand does exactly what it says it will: hold seven guitars. It doesn't do it in the most pretty way, nor is it totally solid. The parts don't exactly fit together in the most well-designed way (unless if I've gotten a faulty stand, but I don't think so). The whole thing just strikes me as a bit cheap. A word to the wise: be careful about how you place your guitars on this stand.

On the Sweetwater end of things, yet another great shopping and customer service experience. I have shopped with this website off and on for almost a decade, and will continue to do so. I'm willing to bet that if I complained about the stand, they would go out of their way to replace it, but I think I'd be getting exactly the same type of problem with another stand.

It's "meh."

I would be nervous putting 7 guitars into this stand. It's flimsy even when put together correctly. I guess I missed the fact that it "folds" and that may be why it's flimsy. The top bar/uprights are held on by two little bolts with nuts. Not very substantial. The feet will not attach square to the long bottom bars with a LOT of tweaking/retweaking. The padding is very nice though. The instructions are a joke (if you can read the 4-point print) but it's not difficult to figure out how to put together. I also would've liked to see rubber-band type "keepers" across each space up top, to keep the guitars from falling out if the stand gets bumped. I wouldn't say this is a bad product. It's "OK" but nothing special. I bought it primarily b/c the 5 stands I have in my music room take up a lot of space. This takes up a lot less room. I'd like to see this same style stand made of steel/aluminum square tubing and all the pieces bolt together with 1/4" bolts. Put the same great padding on it and I'll pay a good buck for it.

Rockstand Muliple "Flat Pack"

The finished product as a 7-Instrument Stand is excellent, but the tool included to built the rack is a "joke". The included allen wrench wore out before the rack was completed. I have to searched my tool cabinet to find the correct size to finish the guitar stand.

Poor Quality

I bought this stand because it was cheaper than buying 5 individual stands. The quality control in manufacturing sucks. Be prepared to get out the file or drill when assembling. The holes don't match up all the time. (Yes I built it correctly). Once assembled it wobbles. Maybe it is me, but I have built many a gizmo in my day and this was poorly manufactured.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
