These speaker stands are great for the intended purpose. They went together easily enough and are tall enough for my needs. The only complaint that I have is their half hearted attempt at cable management at the bottom by simply drilling a hole for the cable to go thru. They could have just as simply added a channel on the bottom of the base that would allow the speaker wire to be recessed if one (I) wishes not to use the standoffs that would elevate the unit. Also the same would be said for the platform were the speaker sits as well.Don't get me wrong I do still love what they do for me, just some slight adjustments would be nice.
