Pros: Nothing
Cons: I purchased this for my 8 year old daughter as it came highly recommended by her teacher. After struggling for days to adjust it to fit her violin, we gave up and had to return it. Unfortunately, the instruction manual was poorly written and didn't help us very much.

Pros: Very comfortable. Wide range of adjustment to the height on both sides possible. The rubber tipped feet grip and hold the violin with no danger of marking or scratching the varnish.
Cons: Minor quibble: instruction leaflet slightly vague.

Pros: I recommend these to all my students as they can be moulded to fit the player. As well as hight & width adjustment, you can bend the body of the rest to fit comfortably around the shoulder.
Cons: None
