Gator Rok-It Multi Guitar Stand Rack with Folding Design, Holds up to 5 Electric or Acoustic Guitars (RI-GTR-RACK5)

This review is for the 3-Guitar Rok-it collapsible stand. Very easy to assemble using the included diagram. Took me about 5 minutes to assemble. Components are very well made, was very sturdy and balanced for being held together by 8 bolts supplied by the manufacturer. Guitar stand is nice and compact, will hold 2 acoustic guitars nicely OR 3 electric guitars OR 1 acoustic and 2 electric guitars. (my plan was for 3 acoustic guitars, which didn't fit). Be aware that you will need to provide for at least an additional 4" besides the 21,5" depth dimension for an acoustic guitar neck overhang, You may need to provide more room behind the stand if you will be storing a bass guitar, since they have longer necks. Overall, I am satisfied with this guitar stand.

I needed a stand for all my current (and future) guitars that doesn’t take up too much space like my last one. I also like that they lean sideways into the stand instead of laying back like my old one. The quality is pretty nice and on its own it’s very lightweight but still sturdy enough to not fall apart. Its size is good and doesn’t take up too much space in my little studio room and functions the way it’s supposed to. It was really easy and simple to assemble and only took a couple minutes.

I own older larger versions of this product of the Rok-It brand as well, that are great. This one is lower quality, and the individual spaces are not as wide. It's still a good product, and very useful. Easy to put together, but the instructions seem to have the wrong screws for the wrong places. Who needs correct instructions anyway? Once together and fully tightened down it's not as sturdy as my other stands. It has a tiny bit of wiggle, but it's not a lot. I got this to specifically split 3 acoustics from my main stand, but it's not wide enough to actually put 3 acoustics the same direction like other stands. It's hard to get 3 acoustics on it with them alternating direction. I ended up using it for thinner guitars instead.

I like the rack. I got the 7 guitar model - but I probably would not recommend using with 7 guitars as it'll be very tight. Note in the photos, I think the best arrangement of guitars will require a bit of "lean" or "angle" to let gravity work for you. Note that due to angled lean of guitars, you'll probably need to leave some space next to the wall for headstock clearance, especially if you have a bass. Padding is sufficient to protect the guitars. Some of the padding was a bit marred when I got it, but I just rolled it out of sight and all is fine. Should be easy to clean under due to open design. Assembly instructions were only a drawn picture, so take your time and pay attention to the bolts/washers when assembling. They look similar, but there are 3 different type bolts meant to be used in different places. It all went together well after a bit of trial and error. Overall feel is lightweight, so I wouldn't use it for gigging, but if you're just sitting guitars on it in your house or practice room it should serve fine. In the space of 2-3 regular guitar stands you can use this instead and store more guitars.

Sturdy, well engineered, does the job and does it well. Assembly instructions were incredible weak but probably because anybody with half a brain can figure it out without them. My only gripe is that the prongs that hold the neck in place could be a little longer, I think some PVC and pipe insulation can address that issue. For anybody wondering, yes, this is shallow enough to fit in a standard sized U.S. closet although guitars on the extreme end of size may not be able to lean all the way back against the rear bar (my acoustic bass doesn't quite sit all the way back without the headstock bumping the wall, but everything else does).

Very rugged and well built Excellent price

It works. It does what it was designed for.. and that's to hold 5 guitars. It was easy to put together. It's very basic. You get what you pay for. This is not a heavy duty guitar stand. It is not what i would call a high quality stand either. That being said, it's built reasonably well and it has proven to be effective and robust enough for home use. In fact I use it in my little bedroom studio. It is more than fine. I think it could use more padding on the base, but it is a simple matter to address if you chose to do so. What I like best is that it is compact. One of the smallest, if not the smallest footprint for a five guitar stand and it fit my space perfectly.

This was a great way to help our son organize all of his guitars instead of having them in various cases or on individual stands. He is very happy with this and it was easy to assemble.
