 Slick Furniture August 11, 2008
The speaker stands look sleek and modern and are very practical for holding CDs/DVDs. They really are not well designed though for VHS tapes so I would avoid them if you wanting to use them to store any kind of tape.
nice set for small speakers February 10, 2008
I bought these stands for my logitech z-5500, just like another reviewer did. They look nice and the black and metal colors blend in well with the rest of my setup. The shelving on them works well for CD and DVD cases with an inch or two to spare above them. There are 3 shelves that each can fit 8 DVD cases. You have to keep the shelves relatively full though, because there are not slots for them, the cases just stand supported by one another.
These wouldn't work too well with bigger speakers, but they are perfect for smaller ones. They come with little adhesive strips so you can stick your speakers to them if you want, but I still wouldn't trust it with bigger speakers.
The instructions for assembling the stands are very bad, but it isn't too hard to figure it out if you look at the picture on the box. The instructions don't have any words, just pictures. They indicate you should flip the whole thing over at one point. This is so the glass doesn't slide around, but if you flipped it over it would be impossible to screw the bottom on. You just have to think about what will happen and be careful with the glass when putting them together. Also, there is no indicator as to where you are supposed to place the middle shelf. It would be nice if there was a little marking or something, the instructions don't help at all with it. It is easy to adjust once you have it built though, and I measured it out so that it was centered between the top and bottom shelves.
Putting them together was a bit annoying, but I'm very satisfied with the end result.

I bought the Logitech Z-5500 speakers, but I didn't want to screw them into the wall. The problem with these speakers is that they don't fit (screw) into the 'standard' speaker stands.
The solution: The Gallery Noir Wood/Glass Speaker Stand. I have them set up on either side of my couch. The design is simple, but elegant. The top shelves are sturdy and have more than enough strength to hold any small speaker set out there. The middle selves are supposed to be used for storing DVD's, CD's or Games. It works fine, so long as they are ALWAYS filled with cases. If 1 case is pulled out, the rest sort of fall onto each other, so I would recommend getting a 'real' media storage center. What I used the shelves for was items I wanted on display. A mini bust, a trinket or just put a coaster down and use it as handy, accessible and not in your way place to hold your drink. Great for those without a coffee table, like me.
The assembly was easy and took about 3 minutes. The packaging seems small but protects your item well.
I just bought another set of speakers for the bedroom and will be buying another pair of these speaker stands to hold them. Definitely recommended for those who want a nice, simple and sturdy item. Something that wont be easily knocked down by mischievous cats.
Nice stands July 21, 2007

I don't have all that much experience putting things together, so I was a little worried because of one reviewer's comments about the instructions being hard to understand. On the whole, I found that they were fairly simple to put together, and the diagrams were very helpful.
There's unfortunately no way to thread cables through any part of these stands, so if you're looking to keep your cabling invisible, these might not be the stands for you. I'm using them for my rear speakers, and they're pretty small (small enough that I would be able to fit one on the top shelf and another on the bottom), so I don't have any problems with instability, though I think it might be an issue for people with larger, heavier speakers on carpet.
 Poorly Made Product April 11, 2007

This product was totally disappointing. The directions were difficult to follow, there were only poorly draw diagrams to describe the construction. The product is very flimsy and unstable. I will not use it for the purpose of placing my Paradigm speakers, nor would I purchase this product again or any other product of this type. I have been completely unsatisfied with this product. Finally, during assembly of this product I somehow managed to chip the frosted glass shelves because the rods for the stand came in a somewhat bent manner from the package
Thank You.
