Using your Gator Frameworks Elite Series Small Combo Guitar Amp Stand is a breeze. First, assemble the stand following the included instructions - it's easy to put together. Once assembled, place your guitar amp on the 19 - inch wide platform. You'll notice it's angled at 15 degrees, which is great for better listening and easy access to the amp's controls. You can use it in a studio, living room, or showroom floor to display your amp elegantly. If you want to place it against a wall, the recessed cable channel and added standoff depth make it convenient, and you can pass the cables through the cutout on the backrest. When it comes to maintenance, keep the stand clean by wiping it with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the dark walnut brown finish or the EVA foam padding. Make sure to place heavy items on it carefully to prevent any damage to the 18mm - thick plywood construction. And always lift the stand by its sturdy parts to avoid any accidental breakage.
