Very nice, furniture looking speaker stands, as I said, a little pricey, but worth it over the steel pole stand. These give the living room a more "finished" look to our surround set-up. The only negative that I can give these, is that there no place to feed the speaker wire, in a somewhat hidden fashion? I had to get a little creative, but they did turn out nice, and very much out of sight. We did have the steel pole type stands before these, I'am not knocking them, they worked for us for a long time, it is we just wanted to step up a notch to more furniture looking stand. They are definitely heavy, be careful the base is glass, felt sorry for the UPS driver, due to the weight of the stands being delivered in 1 box. I would recommend using "speaker pads" underneath the speakers. The surround sound system that we are using is the "Nakamichi Shockwafe Elite 7.2" sound bar. The stands really pulled our living together into a very finished look, that we wanted, so when I say "pricey", it's a little more than what we wanted to spend, but in the end result, they were, money well spent!! After setting them up, and into our living room. If you have a little more to spend, especially after "X" amount of $$'s on a sound system, treat your system to a nice pair of speaker stands that stand out. And don't forget to purchase the foam pads for the speakers, and we also used the pads under the soundbar, maybe our imagination, but the the whole sound system did sound better with the pads.
