★★★★★
Full / Three-quarter

Looks and feels better made than I expected at this price. The foam pad is comfortable and it sits flush against the violin.

Full / Three-quarter

Exactly what I needed for my full-size violin. The feet fold flat so it drops right into my case. For the price, I am impressed.

Great little rest for a student violin. Light, simple, and the feet fold flat for storage.

Full / Three-quarter

Arrived complete. The shipping box was a little dented, but the rest itself was perfect and it holds my 4/4 nicely.

Small

Ordered the small size for my daughter's quarter-size violin. The boxes were a bit banged up in shipping, but the rests inside were fine.

Full / Three-quarter

Happy with the purchase, with two honest notes: the foam is a little thin, so you can feel the metal on your shoulder, and the rest can slip if the feet are not seated fully because the grip grooves are shallow. Seat them properly and it works well.

★★★★☆
Full / Three-quarter

Plastic build, but comfortable to use and it does what it should for the money.

★☆☆☆☆
Full / Three-quarter

Ordered the Full / Three-quarter for a 3/4 violin and even at its smallest setting the fit was too big for that size. Fine on a 4/4, but check your size first.

★★☆☆☆
Full / Three-quarter

It is plastic, so do not expect a premium wood rest at this price. That said, it still does the job and holds the violin up.

My box was crushed in the mail and one part arrived broken. Disappointing after the wait.
