Bike Nook Bike Stand & Vertical Storage Rack - The Original Vertical Bicycle Floor Stand for Garage Storage, Indoor and Outdoor - Perfect Bike Accessories for Small Spaces with No Drilling

I was hesitant to buy this, as some reviews stated it was unstable, wouldn't hold a wide tire, etc. I wanted to write this review as a response to those, and help people struggling with whether or not to buy this, based on some of the questions I had. So, here goes....First, this thing was really easy to assemble. Now, to be fair I am a pretty handy guy, but it came with written instructions (WITH PICTURES), and is only a handful of parts. Assembly tools were included, and did the job fine. It took me MAYBE 5 minutes to put together.Secondly, some people complained that it wasn't sturdy. This has not been my experience. Just make sure you get all the hardware good and tight, and this thing is fine. I can get my bike to rock on it a bit if I bump it or push it, but I have ZERO concerns about my bike "falling off of it", as mentioned in a few of the other reviews. I have a relatively heavy mountain bike, and do not feel a need to "tip toe" around it, lecture my kids about avoiding it, or putting caution tape around it. It holds my bike fine until I need to take it down.Lastly, my biggest concern was whether or not this stand would accommodate my mountain bike. I have a 27.5 PLUS bike with Kenda 2.8" tires. It works fine. My tires do not sit "inside the track", but rather on the track. This does not seem to affect the functionality of this stand AT ALL. As mentioned above, it holds my bike VERY securely. It is easy to use, and keeps my bike out of the way.If i had to knock it down for something, I would ding it on "value". I think it's over priced for what it is. I highly doubt that the manufacturing costs, or the raw materials come close to justifying the retail price. However, when looking around for a product that would meet my needs (space available, bike size, etc), there wasn't anything else that would have worked for me, so I was willing to pay it.I hope this review helps someone decide whether or not this product will work for them.

This bike stand was incredibly easy to put together (took me less than 10 minutes, no special tools needed other than those included in package). It's also pretty easy to remove/place your bike on the stand. It's a great option for my tiny apartment, and I'm thinking about purchasing another one for my other bike. The bike stand is also incredibly sturdy, and I appreciate the velcro strap that holds my front tire in place. Be sure to remove any saddle bags from under your bike seat. I imagine that you can still use this stand if you have a rear rack on your bike, but I'm not sure.Be aware that the bike stand should be placed in a corner or some area away from high-traffic areas. While my bike feels pretty secure, the bike will definitely fall off the stand if a child pulled hard on your bike, a dog jumps on it, or you walk headlong into the thing while fumbling in the dark (not that I've done that or anything). Also, if you have an incredibly heavy bike (e.g. like an e-bike or a beach cruiser) that you're not able to lift easily, this might not be the best option for you unless you have someone who can move your bike on/off the rack for you.

This item was easy to assemble and works as intended. Allows me to store my bike in a much smaller space. The unit is sturdy but the bottom part where the rear wheel rests is a bit wide for 25mm tires so initially I wasn’t sure if it would keep my bike from falling, but it is stable enough to hold it up. It is pretty thin steel so I may bend it in a bit to be a bit more snug with my narrower tires. I will be purchasing another for a gravel bike with 45mm tires in the near future and I believe it will accommodate those tires quite well.

In brief:This stand is an overall safety hazard made of flimsy materials that is not suitable for a wide range of bicycles, as the description reads, which is also very misleading with regard to "...and lock in place" considering when mounted, the bike is free to fall in any direction at any moment. Detailed review provided simply because I cannot understand the many glowing reviews and after hands-on experience I hope the time it takes me to write this out will prevent a future headache for a prospective buyer (oh, I'm also on CVOID19 quarantine...as you should all be too...so I have nothing better to do, so, enjoy!)..Details:Beware. This is a very unstable stand. Not only that, but it does NOT host a variety of bike's with differing tire withs.; commuter and road bikes will NOT fit, causing the bike to dangerously lean 15+ degrees to whatever side you allow gravity to reign. I didn't want to leave my bike unattended on this stand even while simply standing less than a foot away, prepping myself for certain doom.While the stand did not fall/fail, even when applying a relative amount of pressure, mostly because the leg span is a proper distance to keep its footing, I did note the stand began to move toward the opposite direction of the pressure despite it being put together properly by the supplied instructions. The moment I applied even the slightest amount of pressure on the bike itself, the bike immediately became disengaged from the stand and gave way. I was lucky to catch because I have a very light bike, another qualm I have considering this stand is rated for bikes nearly 3+ times the weight of mine.Admittedly I am no engineer, but I believe the faulty nature of this seemingly sturdy stand is based on where the bolt holes are located in conjunction with where a bicycle places pressure on the stand once assembled and in place. The cheap included hardware may add to the instability all around, because overall constructive integrity is based on all components working together/against each other properly when torqued down to spec.The most disappointing, and possibly most dangers, aspect of this stand, is that the description claims that the bike simply "lock(s) in place" and this is absolutely not true. Maybe my ignorance proceeds me in this case, but my assumption was that there was some type of safety clasp/collar that would 'lock' (as per the description) the bike's seat pole onto the stand to prevent it from falling forward/off of the rack. The bike only rests on a concave nylon post end, which when the bike sways to its awkward vertical resting position, bodes for a very scary sight in totality. Even though I already planned on returning immediately upon unboxing the poor quality components, I tinkered with it for quite a while because I really wanted it to work.Experimentation began: I decided to lower the seat post portion in hopes that if I cantilevered the bike a bit more backwards it would fix and properly align its weird resting position, and provide some stability to both the stand and the bike. By doing this, the rear wheel was forced away from the vertical wheel rest, offering an equally unstable variation. I oscillated through a few different resting height positions to no avail. Other similar products provide various different systems to affix the bike to the stand when engaged (straps, bungees, clips, wheel guides, wheel hoops, etc.) so just, be mindful that this has NONE (not safe around kids/pets, in garages around cars, indoors, etc...bike can literally fall forward at any time).All in all, it is the misguided fitment of most bike tires that causes for these issues to present themselves in a potential hazard, not to mention the bike looks absolutely TERRIBLE when leaning egregiously to one side. So if you have a mountain bike with girthy tires, or a fat-tire cruiser, or suppose you are 'organizing' a slew of bikes in a garage FAR away from parked vehicles, then this stand may work for you, however there are countless similar options, some of which are cheaper, that are guaranteed to be a safer and more suitable product.If you read this review and still order this product, the quarantine has gotten to you, as is evident per this unnecessarily lengthy review I have taken the time to write to prevent YOU from making the same mistake I did.Anyways, it's almost 3AM - time for COVOID19 breakfast #1 before I go take a nap to wake up or numbers 2, 3, 4, and so forth until I decided it's lunch, lunner, and then dinner, intermittent naps all in between of course. This process on repeat...OKAY BYE.
