Zither Wooden Ukulele or Mandolin Stand - Handcrafted Solid Mahogany Wood Floor Stands, Made in USA

I bought 2 stands from different vendors. The Zither is made of oak and I absolutely love it! It's well made, beautiful wood and quite stable for holding my acoustic guitar. The other stand I ordered is from another company and sold as solid birch. It's actually made from birch PLYWOOD. Hard to believe the birch plywood stand actually cost more... I'm returning that one but will keep the Zither and possibly order more. As a woodworker myself, I'm very pleased with this stand and my downgraded rating on craftsmanship is because I think some of the edges could have been softened and smoothed a little better. I read few reviews complaining about the price. Honestly, I couldn't build one myself for less. Zither's prices are more than reasonable!!!!

I needed a hanging guitar stand for my new guitar. I am very happy with the stand's elegant shape, design and quality. it took less that 5 minutes to assemble. I got the mahogany. it is beautiful. next time I will try different wood to try.

... but might not survive kids or pets running around (I don't think any floor stand would, hanging them on the wall is probably safer at that point).They are beautiful, and hold the guitar well while allowing easy access.

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.

A bit more expensive than the China stands, but well worth the extra dollars. The woodcraft is exceptional. Solid hardwoods, and detail to fit and finish, make this a fine display piece in my living room. Made in the USA, and includes Old English Lemon Oil to maintain the finish. Shipping box was signed by hand inside, thanking me for my purchase. The listing doesn't mention the beautiful engraving on the underside of the base. Best Violin stand on the web!

This is a very nice stand!!! I tried it this time in red oak because it was the most reasonable. This is a great design that shipped and was delivered VERY quick! I’m in love…. I want a purple one for guitars, as o have a custom purple crackle finish guitar in need to highlight in my collection. Check out GuitarGuts on You-Tube and tell Mark I sent you!!!

A great product, a great price, and fast shipping! What more could you want? My offset guitars look great on these stands! Thank you, Zither Music Co.!

I had a time crunch and their customer service was second to none. It arrived so fast and the quality of the craftsmanship was impressive. I sincerely appreciate you helping me with this time sensitive gift. They were touched by such a beautiful and unique stand. You folks rock! God bless and thank you again.

This is an amazing guitar stand made with quality and care. There was even a word of thanks written inside the box from the manufacturer. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to put their guitar on display

My partner doesn't mind me having my guitar out because the stand and guitar together are aesthetically pleasing. The stand and guitar work together dynamically to prevent them both from toppling over - very cool. I bought a transparent dust cover and a guitar humidifier for overnight storage.

I use this stand for my classical guitar, it is sturdy, well finish and beautiful in my living room.

Received this as a gift and am very impressed with the quality of the stand. Gorgeous shape and fits my guitar perfectly. Easy to assemble. Love it!

Design a little more wobbly than I would like, but it is just physics at work. Great quality, nice looking.
