Look Closely at the Picture ... [Posted on 2006-09-05]
Firstly, this is NOT A QUALITY ISSUE - although it was somewhat disappointing to find tiny glass shavings on the glass bases, requiring additional time to first wipe all the components with damp paper towels prior to assembling them .. I understand some reviews of this stand are favorable - each to their own, but I chose to return this product for a refund.
In my opinion this stand has DESIGN/AESTHETIC and FUNCTIONAL problems, specifically concerning the GLASS BASE and the SPEAKER CONNECTION ADAPTERS.
GLASS BASE:
1) It doesn't lay flat on the floor, but is raised about 2" or 3" in the corner where the stand connects to the base .. NOTE - if you TAKE A CLOSE LOOK at the picture of the stand around the base plate area - which I failed to do before I bought them - you will notice the stand appears to go BELOW the glass base and the two opposite corners are also slightly raised .. This is not an illusion, the glass base doesn't touch the floor - While some may consider this a design "enhancement", I consider it a design flaw.
2) The base is pretty sizeable - too big when trying to position the speaker along side certain furniture.
3) The screws which connect to/through the base are all tightened by hand (as I recall), which I veiw as another drawback.
SEAKER CONNECTION ADAPTERS: They did not conveniently fit my speakers (standard Rear Surround's) - there was one kludgey combination, but it looked completely horrible.
Nice Stands for the money.... [Posted on 2006-10-16]
These stands are quite sturdy for small and/or light book shelf speakers. The glass and metal look is great and the stalks are adjustable to be tall enough next to my 56" LCD RPTV.
One note is that the largest gauge speaker wire you can pass throught the stands is 16g. I had some 14g that I was using and it would not fit through the openings.

Great product, matches my t.v. stand. But keep in mind that the glass bases do not hide the speaker wire very well but that is obvious and I purchased with knowing that.
excellent stand, lousy instructions! [Posted on 2007-10-31]
Very sturdy and beautiful stands- several different ways to mount speakers, both bottom and back mounts. However, the assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired. Read the written instructions and look at the diagram in the back and you'll be able to figure out where most of the parts go. Going on just the written instructions will leave important parts out :)
be aware! [Posted on 2008-06-02]
I was not totally satisfied with this product. I have assembled 100's it items at home before but still the assembly of this one was quite confusing. The major source of disappointment was the way the stand looks once assemebled. Once completely assmembled, the glass base of the stand doesn't sit parallel to the floor, rather it slopes towards the front, making the entire stand look quite awkward. None of the pictures on the box or in the assemebly instructions clearly show this. So I had to struggle with it for while, trying to figure out what I was doing "wrong". (why it won't sit flat with the floor). Finally called the customer support only to be told that the "slopped base" was by design. So be aware of this
