Customer Reviews

Good for what it is.
I would have preferred wall mounts, but my fiancee didn't want me putting holes in the wall.

These speaker stands are functional. I'm not fond of the black particle board look, mainly because it screams 1985.

The stands are easy to assemble. Do not over tighten the screws as they will easily strip the particle board. I like the panels you pop in the back to dress the cables. I didn't feed the cables through the top of the base because they don't work with the Tannoy speakers I'm using.

I can't comment on the carpet spikes because we have hardwood floors in the living room and I never used them. I found the neoprene squares comical, threw them away, and used carpet tape instead to secure the speakers to the stands. Otherwise, the speakers slide on top of the stands and will easily fall off if bumped into. Carpet tape is a good solution because it keeps them in place but you can take the speakers off and put them back without trouble.

Overall I'm happy with these stands as a solution. I don't really like the way they look, or any speaker stands for that matter, but they are very functional. I have to admit my speakers sound better since they are away from the walls. I would buy them again, but I wish they had a natural wood finish. Of course, that would drive up the price & the reason I bought these was a bang for the buck reason. In that sense, these stands do the job well.

Decent
Yeah they have some cheap materials in them. and the layout for the speaker wire hiding makes no sense. (IE the speaker has to sit on the actual wire in some cases to get it to the hole below it. It also was annoying to assemble and took multiple tries. But it does get the job done if you need them. I am of the philosophy that the speaker stand should never cost more than the individual speaker it is holding so this one fit the bill.

Not bad at all
I've had these stands for about a month now and they're just fine. For the price, you really can't beat 'em. I have no idea why speaker stands are so expensive when there's practically nothing to them. But these look good and hold my speakers so, there ya go. I have them on hardwood floors so no need for the carpet spikes. If you want to run the speaker wires through the holes in the base you'll need to apply some felt pads or little rubber feet or something to get the base slightly off the floor.
