1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy These unless the are free, March 5, 2010

I bought these stands in a package for $450 which included cables and 2 KRK ROkit 8 Gen 2 Monitor Speakers. I must admit, the construction is slightly better than expected after reading all the reviews, but it is still pretty darn terrible. Let's see, where to begin, how about from the ground up:

1. The manufacturer claims the stands come with rubber and metal feet. They do not, they come with PLASTIC and metal feet. 3 out of 6 plastic feet were unusable before I finished unrapping the product. Plastic threads on metal, what a joke.

2. The Triangular base is inherently unstable. There are no full welds, only tack welds here and there. If you happen to push the stand from a side so that all the pressure is on a angled corner of the triangle, you'll feel confindent that it will not tip; However, if you push the stand from a angled corner so that all the pressure is on a side of the triangle, you'll feel like your not going to be sleeping at night because your constantly worrying that your $500 speakers will fall off these $20 stands durring the night.

3. Yes, the poll does not SECURLY attach to the base and I could easily see construction errors as someone previously mentioned; not on mine, but I could see how it could happen.

4. The ajustment in the middle is plastic when it should be metal and there are no mechanical protections against overtightening or scratching the inner pipe.

5. There is virtually zero counterweighting effect, so my setup is currently 35 pounds of speaker on top of 25 pounds of stand dispersed along its height. This is inherently unstable especially with the trangular shape which is unstable when pushed in 3 specific directions (so it tips on a side of the triangle).

6. I'm a 5' 9" DJ, so I need these babies up high at 5' 4", I wouldn't put these above 4 feet period.

THere are other things that are seriously poorly designed on these things. I've had them for about 18 hours now and the best case senario is that I buy new ones in a month, worst case I return them.

It should be noted that Guitar Center sells a pair of Rokit 8 Gen2's for $500 while I bought the ENTIRE package for $450. So, the moral of the story, if you can get them for free in a package, try upgrading to a four cornered solid construction stand.

Oh, and the stand dissassembled was only rapped in one thin layer of bobble rap. So As soon as I opened it I could see the dings, dents, chips in the plastic, torn sticker, etc resulting from 60 pounds of metal clanking around together with only a thin layor of tiny booble rap for protection.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, September 30, 2008

Bought a pair of these stands to use with my monitors. Began assembly to discover that one of the triangular bases was missing the threaded insert to hold the carpet spike on one corner. The other stand when fully assembled leaned over to one side. Yes, the carpet spikes are adjustable to fine tune the corner height, but it doesn't matter when the upright does not mount squarely to the base. It leaned over because the threaded portion in the base of the upright was not vertical.

Shoddy quality. I returned them.
