The padding is soft enough to care for the neck, but tough enough to keep your instrument from accidentally slipping out of place

Once i found the stud in the wall and put this up (no worrying about coming out of the drywall for me, thanks) i was completely confident that my guitar was going to be safe and easily accessible

The natural wood is a little lighter on mine, but i prefer how it looks to the product photo

For me the form and function come together really well so i'm completely happy - not to mention that it was inexpensive!
