 Not very sturdy for larger bookshelf speakers March 27, 2010
Freddie Ross (Canton, MA)
I can't recommend these stands for anything more than speakers that might come in an HTIB set, they just aren't sturdy with any weight. I will admit, they were bought for a pair of speakers that were too heavy for them at 28lbs/each (over the weight limit by 3lbs), but I have since upgraded speakers and the new ones are only 17lbs/each; they are very shaky with either set. Not enough where I'm afraid they'll break, but they move quite a bit under load.
Additionally, because the pillar is solid MFD wood, they resonate quite a bit. I wish I had thought of this before buying them as I would have gone with a hollow (can fill in with sand) steel stand instead. This would have taken care of both of these issues I think.
Assembly is easy, but the hardware that comes with these is kind of a joke. The bottom spikes have a very loose threading, so they don't stay very tight. I've also found that the screws on each end need to be tightened every once in a while. I should also point out that the wire covers are a pain to get on. Once they're on, leave them alone, or just don't bother with them altogether.
On the plus side, they do look pretty nice and I think they'd work fairly well with lighter speakers, like in the sub-10lbs range. Smaller Polk Monitors/TSis, Onkyo HTIB speakers, etc I think these would be fine for. But heavier bookshelf/standmount speakers need something far more sturdy than these.
 Beautiful and sturdy stands - with a little patience January 18, 2010
Steve in CA (San Francisco, CA United States)
I purchased the Sanus stands because I was looking for good looking, furniture quality stands that look good in my room full of new furniture. I am using them with AudioEngine 5 speakers and those fit perfectly on the NF24 stands. I chose the NF24 over some of the cheaper models because of the look.
First of all, these speaker stands are quite easy to put together (up until the wiring cover - more about that in a minute). I had absolutely no problem getting the units assembled and looking perfect. The packaging keeps the finish flawless and the hardware is all clear and extremely well marked. The instructions for assembly are not too bad. I made use of my power drill with a screw bit attachment to make quick work of the long screws. I was very pleased that the joints came together light-tight and the fit and finish is solid. These will be in a low-traffic area for me so I am not as concerned about scratches, but they seem like they will hold up ok.
The unit comes with both rubber feet and carpet spikes. I am using the rubber feet and those fit firmly on the floor. Vibration dampening appears pretty good.
Cable management looks great but this is where the unit lost a star for me. The black cable that hides the cover needs to be bent, massaged, cajoled, forced, and finessed into place. It took maybe fifteen minutes for each stand to add that cover and left me with cramped fingers. Seems weird too because there must be a hundred ways of designing that cover (which isn't visible from the front anyway) and they must have chosen the most difficult one. So basically the last part of the assembly was unnecessarily difficult.
Having gotten the cable management cover in place, I am once again very pleased with this purchase and would definitely buy it again.
Assembly is a bit tricky October 17, 2009

Disappointed that I found it impossible to assemble the stands. You have to watch out that there are different length pre-drilled holes at the different ends of the pillars. I also didn't have an extensive toolkit to be able to redrill and enlarge the pre-drilled holes to make the assembly much easier. Things were so tight, I couldn't drive the screws in even with a powertool. Otherwise they looked good quality construction and should suit smaller sized rear surround speakers. With appropriate planning you should be able to avoid breaking screws like I did. Onecall don't pay for return shipping and Sanus were happy to send replacement parts, but I decided to return the item anyway. Maybe you'll have more success.
