Hercules FS100B Guitar Stand, Black

I was taught to support my guitar by crossing my right leg over my left leg and resting my guitar on my right leg, but I found this uncomfortable after a while. So I thought I would try a foot rest to raise my right leg to the desired height without the discomfort of crossing my legs. I have found using a foot rest much more comfortable as my legs are not locked so rigidly into a fixed position.This foot rest feels very sturdy. It is very easy to set up, to fold down again and to adjust the height.It folds quite flat when not in use although it's not flat enough to fit into a guitar case (I wouldn't expect it to be but I thought I'd mention this to avoid any confusion!).Highly recommended.

Excellent foot rest, sturdy and a good solid weight. Good price and happy with my purchase.

I bought a cheap, generic footstool back in April and it came out of the box slightly wonky. It bent in a few days and just never worked properly. The metal legs were thin and weak, and the overall construction was poor. After a couple of months, it was unusable.This Hercules footstool costs only a little bit more, but is a hundred times better. It is stable, has noticeably larger foot support, and obviously more sturdy. Construction is great. As someone who does several hours of practice every day, I should have bought this in the first place. Highly recommended!

Solid build quality, easy to adjust. Folds flat for storage & transport. Makes it easier to practice longer, and allows you to position even the widest guitars for easier playing. Quick delivery and fair price.

My guitar tutor has a similar footrest and tries to encourage me to use it. I normally play sitting on a couch but I’ve had back and neck issues so I bought a stool. The footrest on my stool is too high so I’ve had similar Back and neck issues. I looked at footrests and decided on this one because I already have a Hercules guitar stand and music stand. They are absolutely fantastic and their quality is second to none. I found that I had no back or shoulder issues after using this footrest. I looked at cheaper ones but I think I can trust this one.

I use a standard office chair (with non-retractable armrests...!!!), to play guitar in my pseudo studio. I often find myself in a bit of discomfort after playing for a while - either some sort of hip pain or a soring back. I tried this out to see if it would relieve a little of that pain, and it did!I use this to rest alternate feet, to give my back a rest as I tend to arch myself forward in my...NOT made for guitar playing chair and that's only with LP or Strat shaped axes. The easy answer is to buy a more specific chair, but they're not as cheap as a foot stool! At this price point, it's worth a shot in the dark anyway!Hercules works well for my needs and he lives up to his name, as he can hold all of my weight for quite a prolonged period of time! There are different settings which I guess would suit most, especially those who play in the 'classical' position and players with pointy, sharp or otherwise 'awkward' shaped guitars, such as a V or Jackson Rhoads.If I were to find a fault, it would be that there isn't a huge amount of difference between the various angles or settings on the back of the footrest, perhaps a bigger variety of angles would benefit some? Didn't affect me though. Either way, it doesn't warrant losing a star, just an observation. Very happy with mine!

Very fast delivery - broke my old stool on Friday and this was delivered Saturday morning. Really very impressed, I have big feet so this 20% extra size is fantastic, really comfy and solid. It's nice with bare feet and socks because it's quite grippy on top. Being tall, the lowest setting is perfect for me - other stools tend to be just too high and only have 3 or 4 heights - this has It 5 height settings so should be suitable for most folks. Highly recommended.25th March 2016 just bought another one so I can have two set up at 90 degrees in the music studio, original still solid and robust and new one equally as good.

Love the sturdiness of this foot rest. I have used it for a few months now and it has been very stable and slip free, and it is very easy to adjust the height. It's a very handy piece of kit for anyone who plays guitar (or in my case ukulele)
