 Very good quality for the price September 4, 2010
Jack H Hoffman III
Overall, these stands are very decent quality, especially given the $50 price I paid (not including shipping). With the option of spikes or pads for the top and bottom plates, it gives you options for all types of speakers and locations. I'm using the carpet spikes on the bottom and neoprene pads on top with my Yamaha NS-333's which are being used for satellite duty. These speakers are on the heavy side (>12lbs) so traditional smaller satellite stands will not work. While not rock-solid stable, these stands work well enough for my "out-of-the-way" corner locations. They can take a light bump, but wouldn't hold up to a small child grabbing hold and yanking (or an overly excited labrador). With my older carpet and padding, the stands sit up on the spikes quite a bit, even at the lowest settings. They are however adjustable, so if anyone complaints about the overall height on carpet, please try adjusting your spikes (or replacing your carpet).
In case anyone was still wondering, there are two stands in the package. I received all parts listed in the instructions, though the blister pack that contained them had been opened and resealed with tape. Most likely there was an early quality control issue with parts being left out and this was corrected in the factory before being shipped to distributors.
The instructions are useless as it consists only of illustrations with no written instructions, but this is not rocket science. The screws all fit without splitting or excessive effort, which might have been another factory correction as I've heard other complain of splitting smaller holes. As others have stated, the most difficult part is installing the wire channel. The illustrations indicate bending the "film" for the channel and inserting both sides into the slits in the back of the stand. This is impossible, but there is an obvious that the way it needs to be done. Simply, leave the top unattached and slide the bottom edge of the film into the channel from the top and move it down slowly. I took my time and bent the film into the approximate shape and slid it down about 2-3", then I used one palm to keep pressure on the already inserted part (to keep it in the track) while using my other hand to squeeze and slide the rest of the film in 1-2" movements. I did not have any issues using this technique and highly recommend using pressure on the already inserted piece, because the finish on the back could be damaged if the film were to slip out. The pieces of film get very hard to install at the end, so I used a flat piece of wood to push it down the rest of the way. NOTE: there are two pieces of each size of film, and you need to use one of each size per stand. Total install time for both stands: 20-30 minutes.
The neoprene pieces are small and should really be a little thicker to allow the speakers to sit up a little more for use with thicker speaker wire, but this is not a major concern.
I have oily palms and I noticed that the finish on these stands show those oils, however some furniture polish should help give the stands a little more luster to reduce that effect.
Given the options with these stands, I'd say it's an excellent value and well worth the extra time for installation. However, if your local UPS people are less than delicate with stuff, beware the packaging!
 Just what I wanted December 9, 2009

The Sanus Systems NF 30 stands are just want I needed for my rear speakers. I found them very easy to put together and had no problems. They look great in our great room and having the speakers at ear level makes all the difference in the sound. I would recommend them to anyone wanting this type of stand.
Nice stands October 9, 2009

The stands are nice looking and of good quality. The stands are holding my Polk Audio RTI A1 Bookshelf Speakers. I was worried the top plate was going to be too small for these speakers and it would look funny, but they fit and look great.I was very torn between the 30" and 24" stands and I am glad I went with the 30", they are the perfect height. Putting these together only took a few minutes with a screwdriver. I drilled the holes in the top plate all the way through and put a screw through the bottom of the plate and screwed them to the bottom of my speakers. The back wire cover is a little tricky to get on but works and looks good. I found it a little easier to bend the plastic covers in my hand, into a u-shape, before installing.
I would recommend these stands to others!
Great Stand for the Price June 5, 2009
B. Clinton Keller II (Jacksonville, Florida United States)
Great stand for the price, sturdy & well made, only complaint that prevented a 5 star rating, one of the pre-drilled holes on one of the columns did not have the hole drilled far enough into the column, and the screw just spins around about 1/4 inch out of the hole, and for some reason cannot be backed out. Fortunately the spikes are far enough out that the screw does not stick out to cause the stand to wobble.
Great Stands October 19, 2008

These stands are stylish, practical and sturdy. The wire management system works perfctly, even for heavier gauge wires and the price cant be beat for the quality.
