I think they'd be fine on the stems but also look quite easy to knock down.
Seems like an invitation for tragedy... a lot depends on exactly where it's hung and what's beneath it, I suppose.
Not in my house. The vibrations emanating from the stampeding hordes of offspring are likely to find their way to whatever wall this is hung on.
This rack looks like it was made in a competition to see who could design a rack utilizing the most precarious way to hold pipes.
It looks cool but is a hard no for me. Worn buttons and the like from many of my estates wouldn't work with it I bet.
I also noticed that the pipes are fairly low tier, makes me wonder more.

I wouldn't. I'd likely bump one at some point in time reaching for another.
I was going to say, "No," because I'm clumsy and can imagine it wouldn't take long for me to crash into it doing great damage, but then I realized I've never actually stumbled into any of my table top racks. So I'd probably not buy a rack like this that that hangs on the wall, but I'd be OK with a rack that holds pipes by the stem as long as it sat on a table.
Trust it? Ehhhh... I wouldn't lend it any money, but if you lived in a flimsy mobile home or a cardboard box under the interstate ramp, where if someone even touches a wall, it shakes, then no. But, on a secure wall that won't move when the wind blows, it shouldn't let go of those pipes.
Ohhh, I did just buy a new TV... do any of you corncob pipe smokers want the box to add on or extend their houses?

No. Vibrations aside its easy to knock one out or drop one. I like my pipes too well.
Buy it then check the Denmark patent office. I believe it may have been engineered to provide optimal visual pleasure and unmatched storage security for displaying Bo Nordh, Sixten and S. Bang pipes.
