Great stand but...
This is a super-quality stand. Folds nicely and the spine is made from painted aluminium rather than plastic as in some other cheaper stands.
However, the major complaint about this stand is the cradling arms are too short(the "hands" that hold the bottom of the violin). They do not extend far enough to accommodate a violin with a shoulder rest! If you want a stand which holds a violin with shoulder rest then look for another model because this one doesn't accommodate a rest. The maximum extension of the hands is 90mm. My violin has 110mm thickness with the shoulder rest fitted, so this stand doesn't take it. Measure your violin thickness with shoulder rest fitted before buying this stand.

Great Stand, a bit small for Violas
It's a great stand, and easily transportable as it colapses very small. The bow holder is a nice touch too.
It is a bit small for a Viola though, however will still hold it well, just make sure to place it down properly.
