For home use and 5 acoustic guitars
Pro:
- Easy assembly, although not the best instructions
- Collapsable for easy transport/storage
- Feels sturdy and well made
- Comfortably fits 5 full body acoustics (2 classical, 3 regular)
Con:
- Keep in mind that the guitar heads stick out from the base area by 10-15 cm (depending on the guitar) so it can not be placed all the way against the wall
- The neck slots are just hard plastic, and might need padding for some guitars
- The neck slots lack a guard/band for keeping the guitars from accidentally falling out if something happens
- The green text/rubber band colour isn't for everyone, but is luckily scarcely used
Bought this to keep our guitars accessable and on display in the living room, but wanted the option to clear it away easily if young children/dogs came to visit for an extended period of time. This works well in both regards, tried and tested.
It has not been tested in a gig/touring setting, so I can not speak to the folding mechanism or build quality for rougher usage.

Pros:
- Fairly sturdy once properly assembled
- Decent cushioning for the guitars
- Comfortably seats a fair number of guitars
Cons:
- The instruction/assembly manual is a complete joke - it explains nothing, the screw types are mislabeled. I know that certain things are not supposed to be idiot proof, but c'mon
- The metal bars scratch extremely easily and are painted very cheaply
- The screws provided crumble quite easily, and are prone to stripping
- The provided screwdriver is useless. I don't know how anybody'd have the patience to assemble everything with it
- The neck slots are plain plastic, compared to the nice padded bottom bars

Confusing assembly, but otherwise perfect
Like it says on the title. It's a sturdy little stand that can hold up to 7 guitars/basses or slightly less if you're planning on storing your acoustics too. Only one issue: the assembly is hellish. You'd think not, right? Seems simple enough by the looks of it? Right?
Wrong! It's a nightmare to assemble and I have quite an experience with IKEA furniture. So, buy this but don't be like me and start assembling it right away. No! Go to Youtube and look for videos of people assembling this. Trust me, it'll save you some hours and a lot of stress. I'm not kidding.

Sturdy rack for standard shaped instruments
This stand currently hold 3 basses and 3 guitar, some of which are pretty heavy. The bars that make up the stand are fairly heavy and thick, so there is no flex or any indication that it will break. It was easy enough to assemble. The brackets that hold the neck we a bit hard to clip onto the top bar, but once they're on, they're on and not going anywhere. I don't have any instruments with nitro finish, so no worries about reactions with the rubber on the bottom bars. As a small but much appreciated bonus, black o-rings are included to replace the neon green ones, which stood out like a sore thumb to me.
Definitely recommended!

Simple and effective
I get stressed out when I don't have access to what I need as soon as I get the idea. I have lost a few ideas desperately scrambling to switch out my Strat for my bass. Or forgetting which gig bag my other guitar is in.
No longer. This kit is self contained, easy to build and stable. It's a one-stop option for me for six guitars. Four electrics, one bass and one classical guitar. There is space for one more, which I am trying to convince my wife is absolutely mandatory for me to fill as soon as possible.
I have it next to my rig so I literally just reach out, select my weapon of choice and proceed record.
Pros:
- Easy to build (see cons)
- Stable and solid
- Stylish. By comparison my last stand looked really bad. I never thought that having a stylish guitar rack would matter to me, but apparently it does.
- excellent value for money.
Cons:
- The build process isn't idiot proof. It's simple, but I had to email Thomann, which is pretty embarrassing. Don't judge me. Once I got a reply I built it within minutes and it was easier than wetting my own pants.
- Nothing else.
This guitar stand is a no-brainer as far as I am concerned.
Thank you Thomann, for the swift delivery and also the support when I failed to bulid it the first time.

A great product!
It's my first guitar rack and I'm overall very satisfied with it.
It's easy to ensemble, nice looking and sturdy, and it has a great price.
I have 3 electric guitars, 2 el. basses and 1 acoustic. There's enough space between the guitars, it has good quality materials, the handles are easy to mount on and off and you can adjust their position.
I have it for more than half a year now and I recommend it as a good quality and cool looking stand.

Meh
It might be German-designed, but it was manufactured in China. It doesn't sit even on the floor, although, after I loaded the rack with electric guitars it was better.
Not impressed with the pop-on/pop-off plastic neck holders. I popped one off and it cracked.
They provided a cheap screwdriver for assembly. I used it cautiosly. The screwdriver was made to look fancy, incorporating their "G" logo and trademark green stripe. All in all, it was just a bunch of marketing, centered around a theme of green rubber bands.

Endlich Ordnung für die Äxte!
Der Gitarrenständer von Gravity ist sehr stabil und erfüllt all seine zwecke. Der Zusammenbau war auch simpel und man bekommt top Qualität für einen guten Preis.
Es werden sowohl grüne als auch schwarze Gummis (für die Akzente) mitgeliefert.
Einziges Manko sind die oberen Aufnahmen für die Gitarrenhälse, diese können sich auf der Stange verdrehen, hier wäre eine kleine Rastnase wünschenswert gewesen, tut der Funktionalität aber keinen Abbruch.

Solid and Convenient
I've bought this stand in both the 5 and 7 varieties and I've been quite happy with them. I use them in my home studio setup; I've got the 5 next to me at the console for quick access to switch between instruments while tracking, and I use the 7 for the other ones.
When I first ordered the Vari-G 7 I had to send it back because one of the screw holes for the main support bar was bored at an angle, causing the whole rig to be slightly crooked. Thomann quickly sent me a replacement and everything worked perfectly the second time around.
You really can't ask for more from a multi-stand. All the pieces fit snug and setup is a breeze. The stability is great and the stand can fit pretty tight up against a wall without fear of scraping the headstocks against it.
Pros:
- Sleek design and easily portable
- Customizable for spacing between instruments
- Stable and fits well in any size room
Cons:
- No padding where the neck of the guitar meets the stand
- Some guitar jacks hit the padding on the bottom rail
- Acoustic guitars take up 2 "spots"
