I've been playing with a Dynarette cushion for several years now and it's been very useful but I have a feeling that this would be more stable, especially with smaller guitars.

There's a good video with Stephanie Jones explaining it (and watching Stephanie Jones is always a good thing)

Looks interesting! I have also been using a Dynarette for years, and this looks like it`s got more possibillity for adjusting the excact angle and hight of the guitar.
I use the Dynarette on the right leg though, and i wonder how well this works using it that way.

Plus one on any Stephanie Jones video. One of my favorite guitarists these days, love her expressiveness and her choice of tunes. She also plays jazz saxophone! (and other instruments)

Good not only for calssical guitarists I hope.

Been using the DeOro below link for a year or so, playing off the left leg. Comfortable and it allows natural movement. This as you see is intended for classical so i really wouldnt worry about the effect on an archtop finish unless its french polish. I stuck with the Oasis version of the Dynarette on my classical for two reasons: firmer support (no bob and weave playing Bach))) and finish protection. Diego there is great to work with, he has many variations on his website.

I haven't had great luck with suction cup guitar supports, but YMMV.
Most guitar supports connect at the waist so you've got gravity working for you. I also wonder how well this would work with a heavier guitar like a tele.

I have a Neckup for tele-style guitars -- works well!
This "Performaxe" looks promising, but expensive and out of stock (from Europe).

Actually, I was thinking about the Dynarette. What's the downside of using that device?

I have been using a medium size Guitarlift for about 2 months now and I'm a complete fan. It works fine on my 17" and 16" archtops as well as an OM style acoustic. It really solved my hip issues by being able to sit evenly on the chair. I play with the lift on my left leg in sorta/kinda classical position, both with the guitar vertical and slanted away. It absolutely does not slip and the suction cups work fine even with the deep arch of the 17" instruments. All of the pad based solutions were a huge compromise when changing instrument sizes and never stopped slipping around. The Guitarlift entirely solves these issues. Even on the ES175 size instruments with the Florentine cutaway work solidly without issues.
Highly recommended...

Feel free to ask, if you have any questions.
...unfortunately I don't get paid by the company, but I'm a happy customer.

It's like a mini B120 with a bit of a Les Paul shape. I'll check out the Guitarlift, too, but if I got a Dynarette, which size would be better-small or large?

I use the dynarette cushion but one downside is if you record acoustically into sensitive microphones, it makes a bit of noise with even the slightest movement.
Another way to look at the fingerboard
