Not for offsets
It’s alright quality in general I guess, and I think that you would have an issue with acoustics or even lighter electric guitars.
However, the offset body and weight of my Fender Jaguar was apparently too much for this little piece of gear. After a couple months, it started to be very wobbly, as if both legs were moving away from each other every time I laid the guitar on them.
Over a month after that, it simply broke completely - I once laid the guitar and both legs just separated. The little plastic bit on the top (where the back of the body rests) just disintegrated into bits somehow, leaving hidden screws to dent the laquer on the back of the Jag’. Not cool.
All in all, if you buy something cheap, I guess you can’t complain when it breaks on you. I ended up throwing this one out and putting a little more money to buy one of the Hercules stands (guitars hang by the neck on them, so no problem for offsets) as I would rather invest a little more buck to avoid having to pay for paint jobs on a 1.2k€ guitar.
Though I’m sure if you’ll be using it for acoustics or very light guitars that you don’t pick up too often, it’ll be just perfect.

Guitar doesn't get proper support when upright
My guitar (Ibanez RG421) doesn't get proper support from this stand. I have to tilt it somewhat sideways for it to get support from the top support. Otherwise, when upright, it barely touches the neck.
I would instead recommend a wall mount to everyone, feels much sturdier and will work for every guitar.

Stable stand, but could be better
Nice little low-profile stand which folds up flatly. The only flaw is that the top part (which touches the back of the guitar) is made of hard-ish plastic. This is fine for my Stratocaster clone which has a metal joint between the body and neck at that exact location, but my other guitar (a Hagstrom Ultra Swede) is made from solid wood with no metal on the backside of the neck. I can't/won't use this stand for that guitar, since it risks scratching the back. It would be nice if they used a softer material here that wouldn't scratch wood.

Severe drop in quality...
I have been using these for years and have ordered 5 or 6 of them from Thomann over the last 5 years. The last one I bought a couple of weeks ago has nothing in common with the previous ones. It's much lighter because it's made from thinner metal and the joints are not tight at all. The stand wobbles around and feels very flimsy and cheap.

Flimsy and can't hold my guitar straight when it's plugged in. Sometimes the cable or straps gets caught.

Solid but too much lean!
I have a few of these stands which I use at home and for gigs. They're very light and solidly-built, and they seem to do a good job of holding a guitar. However, they do lean the instrument back quite dramatically - I prefer the "A" acoustic version which seems to hold electric/bass guitars just as well but stands a bit more upright, and can be placed against a wall for a bit more protection.

Calidad pero sensación de inestabilidad
No se me ha caído nunca un instrumento del soporte, pero no da mucha sensación de estabilidad. Creo que es porque es estrecho y debería abrirse un poco más.

Looks cheap than they were before
Still usable. Materials and build quality is not what it was before. Does it’s job. But it constantly tries to fold in. Sometimes I take the guitar and the stand just folds in and falls. sometimes it folds in incompletely and I put my guitar and the the stand legs are too narrow so the guitar falls together with the stand. It's becoming dangerous to use for any guitars you value.
