Fair quality, but bad coloring
By Frederick J. Kohlmann
I bought the "Cherry wood finish" version from Amazon. Received it in two working days with normal shipping. Opened the box - very well packed, and to my surprise, what I found was butcher block colored wood instead of the cherry. The box was marked Cherry so there may have been a mix-up in the factory.Two of the wood shelves had slight blemishes on them, knot holes that were rough to the touch. Not too big a deal as I just turned them over so when the rack was set up, the blems would faced down.

Very Good for the money
By milpai
I got this stand in Cherry color from Amazon for $225 and I think it is a very good deal. Waited for the following weekend, as I knew it would take some time to assemble it. It did take about 1 hour to get it assembled and leveled. But once assembled and setup correctly you are rewarded with a increase in resolution and imaging. I wanted a decent component stand and did not expect the sound to change - for good. The images were placed more precisely and the holography of my system did increase a bit. The music seems more focused now compared to the make shift TV stand my components were placed on. This could be because of the Mega Spikes I installed on this stand, which gives it more stability and looks better. For the price I paid, I certainly will recommend fellow audio enthusiasts. I got a deal on the Megaspikes - $25. This is the lowest I have seen on them anywhere!! Highly recommended :-)

Nice stand - time consuming to build
By Michael Blomgren
The stand arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged. The quality of the stand is very high - both the wooden shelves and the metal parts are all well built. It seems easy to assemble from looking at it, but it does take a long time. Each shelf has 8 nuts and 8 rubber washers that need to be threaded onto the support rods. This takes a long time - about two hours to assemble. Also, be careful with the support rods - if you bang them together the threads will be damaged and getting the nuts on will be a bear. All-in-all, the time to assemble and the cost is well worth it - I have a solid, beautiful, and modern (but not trendy) audio stand. It will house many audio systems over the years.
