Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsIt works okay
Reviewed in Canada on January 31, 2021
My first impression was that the wood looked like plastic at first glance and I had to really look to verify that it was really wood...and it is, but it's not the most luxurious looking wood - but it's also not the most expensive either. I was annoyed that the edges of the block were dinged up right out of the box - both of them...not really bad, but enough to be noticeable. The metal tubes welded together at the fork are a bit ugly and the brown rubber covering them doesn't cover the welding joint so again - doesn't look the best up close, but on the wall it looks okay. I mounted it on a joist after using a stud-finder (and of course using it on myself to confirm that I continue to be a stud, as is required every time you use a stud-finder) and it is extremely solid. It does hang out further from the wall than I would have expected (about the width of 2-3 fingers for my acoustic guitar. North American wood, Chinese quality (so a mix of good and bad).
