A nice, stable, easy-to-use guitar stand, in which the guitar is really safe. As the title suggests, my copy has not smelled by rubber or the like. The only drawback is the fact that the "back support" not - with (Moss?) Rubber padding, it simply consists of plastic - like conditions. Does the guitar though so far (have the part about two weeks in use) is not harmed, but I would have a cushion but found better. Therefore, only four stars.
