Doesn't slip or fall off
Pros: my friend recommended the Kun Collapsible shoulder rest to me and I like this soulder rest since it is both stable and not slippery, doesn't fall off my violin either. It was easy to adjust to my instrument, too, since there are 3 options on each end of the rest to adjust the lenght of it.
Cons: personally, I would prefer if there was more choice to change the angle between your shoulder and the violin. You can turn the rest sligthly but since it is quite low it doesn't make that much of a difference (I don't know how it would work if I purchased extra long foot). Therefore looking forward to trying the rest together with a new chin rest and see how that works.
Overall: light and stable, not disappointed with the purchase.

Study and stays put.
I used to used a Wolf shoulder rest, which was constantly falling off and was too moveable for my tastes. It could be extremely frustrating to use.
I eventually decided I'd had enough and decided to replace it, I bought this Kun and couldn't be happier. It is everything the Wolf is not. Sturdy, stable, and unwavering. It stays on during an entire practice without any adjustments or fiddling.

Love the collapsable feet!
I had the Wolfe Forte Secundo. It did not fit my body well. So I tried this one! No more strain for me! I have a more relaxed posture! It is always a task to find the most suitable shoulder rest I guess. So that is a personal thing.
The quality of the shoulder rest is very good! I love the collapsable feet! You stack it away so much easier in a ouch of compartment of your case!

One of the best in his budget!!!
Its comfortable for your shoulder and its not harm your violin back. Its so stable and its good that the legs are folding, that saves space on your violin case, and it can be adjustable for a lot sizes of violins!!!

Inexpensive and nicely adjustable
I bought this as a spare, so it has only had occasional light use. There is plenty of adjustment so that it should fit securely on any 4/4 size violin (may also fit a 3/4 size violin, but I've not tested).
The rest is lightweight, and I find it comfortable. The "feet" that grip onto the violin are soft enough to avoid the risk of damaging the edges, and when properly adjusted will hold the rest securely in place.
Build quality looks "inexpensive", but no problems so far, and pretty good quality for the £30 price tag. With the feet folded down it fits easily in my violin case.

The standard shoulder rest that takes less space
As one of the popular shoulder rests the Kun shoulder rest fits most people (although people with long necks will usually need something else). There are numerous cheap copies, and some work quite well, but you can't go wrong with the original. The collapsible is almost like the original Kun but with foldable legs it takes a lot less space inside the case, which is a godsend for people using old or compact cases with small accessory compartments.
After about a decade of use the sponge pad becomes slippery and the rubber covers on the legs become brittle. There are remedies that can be made but of course it is easiest to replace it with a new one.

Stable and very convenient folding base.
The best base for violin by far. Very stable and practical.
By the way, Thomann proved once again why they are the best company in the music business and the trade in general.
The stand arrived to me with a broken leg and Thomann replaced it immediately. In two days I had the new leg.
