Customer Review: Functional and inexpensive
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no problems with these speaker stands. When driving the screws you must be certain that the legs are absolutely perpendicular to the top and base. If the legs are tilted or angled away from vertical the screws will split the wood. I used a bit of wood glue to strengthen the assembly. I used two strips of wide industrial strength Velcro to lock each speaker in place. You can find that in the craft isle of a certain large chain store starting with a W. These easily support Polk Monitor 40 speakers weighing approx. 15 lbs. They look decent also. The wiring is routed through the bottom, up the inside of the legs and out at the top of the rear of the legs. There is a hole for wiring in the center of the top plate, but the speaker couldn't possibly sit flat on top of the wires. Excellent value for the price paid.Customer Review: Good for the money, but some flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
I have just a basic home theater in my condo, and wasn't looking to get too expensive with any of the parts. These stand do their job, but I have some reservations and if you want to spend more money there are much better options.
First off, as other customers have noted, the wire management system is a joke. There is no grove at the base of the stand (so the wire would cause the stand to teeter on it), and there are way too small for a good quality wire. This wasn't a big concern for me though.
Construction quality is "eh." I didn't experience any splitting (though I didn't over tighten), but I felt like it was a definitely possibility.
In short, you get what you pay for.
I should add that I'm considering getting another set for my rear speakers.
Customer Review: Good stands, given price
Summary: 5 Stars
These speaker stands were among the cheapest I found. The material is fairly light but sturdy, and the stands were easy to put together. Before you purchase, make sure to measure out the height of the stands as well as the size of the platform that holds the speaker -- the picture makes the stands seem taller than they are. I am using them to hold the front left and right speakers from an Onyko 7.1 speaker set. The speakers fit almost perfectly, although they are tall and easily able to be knocked off the stand.
My only criticisms is that the plastic snap-on back panels do not fully cover length of stand, letting light shine through the small gap in front where the two angled panels meet. This is a minor flaw and is not very noticeable unless in certain lighting/placement conditions.
Customer Review: Great speaker stands for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
The Sanus BF-24B speaker stands work well and have kept my speakers off the floor for the better part of a year. They are easy to assemble and come with some little spikes that act as feat, keeping the stands securely in place in carpet. I have 2 rambunctious Rottweilers and a crazy mutt and I can't tell you how many times they have bumped into my right front speaker, but the stand has yet to tip, probably due to the previously mentioned spikes digging into the living room carpet.
The base of the stand has a slightly porous surface that tends to hold dust making it difficult to clean and catching all the lint from your rags or paper towels. The rear piece is very flimsy and pops out easily.
Over all it's a great product and goes well with out entertainment center.
Customer Review: Simple & Elegant
Summary: 4 Stars
The stands are pretty nice given its price. Although it's not made from solid wood, the stands are very sturdy and can hold surround speakers that are quite large. I'm using them to hold up Klipsch RS-7 speakers, which are 22" wide, and the stands do not wobble or tilt. I only dislike the design of the gap between the two vertical panels which does not adequately hide speaker wire very well. Thicker speaker wire likes to push against the front of the unit where the gap is. I ended up taping the wire to the back panel. For those that are interested, each box contains TWO stands (one pair). I made the mistake of buying two boxes since I couldn't find any information on how many each box contained.
