LALAOKS Wooden Ukulele Stand Violin Mandolin Folding Portable Stand (Black walnut)

This stand makes the access to the instrument so easy that inspires you to play more. I love it becausemy child who is the actual end user of it needed something to support few of the string instruments and I did not want to spend a fortune on a super fancy expensive stands. I just needed something that will hold the instrument upright, that does not require strapping or nesting in a time consuming manner and this was a great answer to this need.Why I like it:--------------------= because it is sturdy enough to hold well ukulele, mandoliner or banjo= because a young child who respects instruments has ZERO problem to take instrument off of it or put it on without any toppling, or accidents.= because it is so easy to set up - literally took under 5 seconds to snap together after taking out of a nice box it came in.= because it looks good, for that price I did not expect rain forest wood but the material still is fabulously good looking and does not clash with the room décor.= because it is good quality, nicely done!= because the price is really friendly and weather your budget is low or you don't want to invest in more permanent solution or if you need immediately for few instruments and higher end stands would blow your budget .. it is perfect for temporary or permanent solution.This stand really surpassed my expectations and I am intending to buy two or three more as I don't have a need for more expensive ends if my child is perfectly capable to use this kind of stands.FABULOUSLY Wonderful product!

Displays my instrument fine. Nice wood finish, with soft strip where instrument rests to prevent scratching.

I’ve been collecting ukuleles for several years now, and have been using the kind of plastic stands that are light and foldable.I noticed this type of stand on Amazon about 3 years ago. But from the images, it seemed unnecessarily ornate and over-the-top, as opposed to the form-follows-function approach of the plastic stands I’d been using. I imagined the flamboyant design of this stand would be a distraction from any ukulele placed in it. But recently I decided to give one a try anyway, and I’m so glad I did!After sliding its 2 pieces together and placing a ukulele in the stand, I was surprised to see that its form is indeed function-based, with no extraneous design. And while it does look a bit odd by itself, with a ukulele in it, the design recedes to the background to showcase the instrument. (I chose the less color-saturated dark brown to reduce distraction.)If portability is a priority, it delivers there as well because it’s very light, and the unassembled 2 pieces can lay flat together.Also, for ukuleles with pickups, this stand has sufficient space to allow for leaving the cord plugged in with the instrument on the stand (unlike the plastic stands I’d been using).One minor criticism is that its description as “wooden” — which implies solid wood — is misleading because it’s actually particle board with a wood veneer. That said, the strength of solid wood is not needed for securely holding relatively light instruments, plus the veneer is made from a handsome wood.All things considered, I give this product a solid five stars. And after some time using the first stand I ordered, I was so satisfied that I bought several more for my other ukes!

This "wood" X type is a classier display stand, but it does lean back a ways and has to be pulled out from the wall to keep it from touching it. With the shoulder rest on, it sits a little odd and not as stable, but it will fit, but I'm not crazy about the stability with the shoulder rest on it. It sits a little crooked because of the shape of the shoulder rest and for stability it has to lean waaay back or teeter upright(awkward). The cushioning was all intact and it assembled together perfectly, but I needed a second stand and chose to go with the Metal Stagg and wish I had bought two. I found I could rest the bow frog on the extended arm and lean it against the violin, so that worked nicely. But hands down I really like the Metal one for stability, rugged portability, and the violin sits perfectly in the cradle and almost hides it because of its slim profile and it's not bad looking. Bottom line- I like the X for its looks... but I like the metal one Much More for every other reason!!

I love the rubber edges that protect my mandolin when it sits in the stand. It looks great, assembly is a breeze, and it’s sturdy. I am pleased with my purchase.

Sometimes the simpler is better. This is used for both my mandolin and ukelele and is perfect for those, and at one point in time, was needed to place a guitar on it. Shipping was timely and safe.

The holder works great for mandolins or ukuleles. It looks nice and is very sturdy. I use several of them to display instruments.

I bought this for my ukulele and I love it. Easy to put together (takes literally 2 seconds), affordable, and cute!

This goes together easily and holds my baritone size uke nicely. A little tippy but decently secure.

I didn't expect much because of the low price but I was happily surprised. It came in a branded box with assembly directions in color (couldn't be easier), is nicely finished, and I'm sure is identical to the ones costing more. Well worth getting.

Well-packed, prompt delivery, goods as ordered. Simple transaction, well executed, thank you.

It's not solid wood but it's what I expected for the price. Very handy now my uke is safely standing by my chair. Will play it more now that it is handy.

It's quite cute and affordable and it fits my baritone ukulele unlike a more expensive one I bought before it. Be aware that it wouldn't fall over but could be knocked over if someone banged into it on the side as it's sort of a tripod. It is plastic laminate not wood (or even wood) veneer but it's harder to tell with the darker colour. There is a very small chip off the plastic but I will just use a permanent marker to cover it up.
