Zither Wooden Guitar Stand - Handcrafted Solid Cherry Wood Floor Stands Best for Acoustic, Electric and Classical Guitars, Made in USA

I now have two of the mahogany stands and am pleased with them. I liked my first stand so much I ordered another one. The stand is sturdy and looks good. It makes a nice conversation piece when a guitar is not in it and a person doesn't know what it's for. It works well with both my acoustic and electric guitars.

Such a simple and effective design, perfect in it's function and well crafted. The wood is beautiful and this stand is very sturdy and easy to assemble. I'm very happy that it has a String Swing cradle as I have one that is a wall hanger and have been very happy with it. I did a lot of research before deciding on Zither and couldn't be happier with it. It's well worth it's price. I've hung both my acoustic and electric guitars on it and the stand is extremely well balanced. I keep it in my workspace so I can reach a guitar anytime while sitting on my chair. I called Zither to find out what shipping service they use (FedEx) and it was a very pleasant exchange. I payed to have the order expedited and it arrived on the day Amazon said it would. Highly recommended!

“That is the coolest guitar stand I have ever seen.” That’s what a friend of mine said while visiting. I agree completely. As virtually all the other reviewers have said, this stand is BEAUTIFUL. It’s a fine furniture piece.Not only is this stand a knockout visually, but more important to me, it’s an excellent design. I can appreciate a ‘good design’. I’ve worked in automobile design engineering for +35yrs. Over 20 of those years has been in “body structures”. This stand is plenty robust for a guitar. Plus, I feel a guitar is much safer on this stand than a triangle or tripod stand.If you or anybody else, including the dog, accidentally gave it a real good bump, it may wobble a little bit, but that’s all... no damage. That’s not true with those triangle stands. An equivalent bump would send a precious guitar flying. YIKES! I shudder the thought.The yolk from which the guitar hangs is a “String Swing”, which is another fine Made in USA product. It’s soooo easy to pick up the guitar, and put it back. Another “good design.”I’m a repeat buyer of this stand. Several moths ago I purchased the walnut model. Beautiful. This time, maple. Again, I’m thrilled!It’s simple to move around the stand and guitar together. During practice sessions, I’ll place the stand right next to me. When done, I put them back in the display spot. This stand will showcase your guitar and keep it close to hand... and a ‘close to hand’ guitar is an ‘often played’ guitar.This stand isn’t designed to be “road stand.“ It’s designed to look good and hold a guitar ... safely.... and it does both, wonderfully!Two of the most beautiful things I have ever seen are a women’s legs and an acoustic guitar. The curves... visually captivating! Put those legs in heels... and WOW! Hang a guitar on one of these stands and...... same affect... WOW. .. “What a looker!” LOLBuy this stand! You will NOT regret it. You’ll love it. I do!Muskellunge.

This product is100% top notch quality. Extremely easy to put together. The instructions are funny too. Bought it for my Martin D-28 and they are beautiful together. One of my favorite purchases. American made baby!

Very sturdy! Beautiful piece...Love it. Packaged beautifully, with a thank you note, guitar picks, and a bottle of mineral oil for polishing. Made in America, just beautiful. Thanks so much!!

Expensive price tag but the build quality and aesthetic beauty of the stand are impeccable. I bought the padauk wood model for $199.99 and mercifully there was no tax or shipping charges. It looks exactly as advertised.I’ve had it about a month and it is still generating a kind of white dust but Zither does warn that the padauk wood will do this for a time. Hopefully this will eventually go away.Price complaints aside I do love this stand and am glad I own it. It’s beautiful and I can use it in any room in the house and not feel like I need to put it away when we’re expecting company.In spite of my displeasure with the price I could not give this awesome stand anything less than 5 stars. I feel that product ratings should be based solely on the quality of the product and it’s not like I didn’t know how much it cost when I made the decision to purchase it.*UPDATE* - September 2019After 10 months my Padauk Wood stand is still generating the white film at the same rate and in the same quantities as it did when I first got it. I’m beginning to doubt that this issue will ever subside. I use the recommended English Oil religiously but within a day or two the white film is back full force.Hope this helps others who might be trying to decide between Padauk or some other wood. Unless you don’t mind having to oil your stand every other day I recommend choosing a different wood. Really bummed that I didn’t.*UPDATE* - July 2022After 3 1/2 years my Padauk wood stand is still generating white, powdery residue. It’s worse than ever. I can’t clean it everyday anymore. It feels like a “fool’s errand”. I dismantled it and stuck it in a closet.*UPDATE* - AUGUST 2022I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM DEBBIE AT ZITHER THIS MORNING. I ALSO SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY, TONY(?), WHO ALSO DESIGNS AND BUILDS THE STANDS. THEY ARE ADAMANT ABOUT SENDING ME A NEW GUITAR STAND AND REFUSED TO TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. DEBBIE SENT ME PICTURES OF THE NEW STAND AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SHIPPED AND IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON MONDAY.I researched Padauk wood after my initial purchase and I discovered that the problem I’m having is a common one for Padauk wood. Apparently Padauk wood contains oils that don’t dissipate out too easily. I’m guessing that furniture craftsmen, like Zither, purchase their Padauk wood in good faith that it has been properly cured and dried, but sometimes it just hasn’t been. It also seems that some “batches” of Padauk wood contain overly high amounts of the oils. I sympathize with the dilemma of the craftsman who wants to use Padauk. It is a beautiful wood.Zither is obviously a first rate operation. I’m gonna find a reason to buy another stand from them.
