12" Tensegrity Speaker Stand

ein Eyecatcher, war leicht zusammenzubauen.

The recommended weight for this stand is only 11lbs. My Polk XT15, which is a 5 inch woofer 2 way, is barely under that, and it's quite a bit more compact than the stand. If I wanted to move up to it's bigger sibling like the 6 inch woofer XT20, it would be over that limit. These are very budget speakers. Anything more premium would be more solidly built and heavier. For example if I were to take a single JBL Studio 630 which Amazon also sells, that's 16lbs. It's just odd to have such a wide stand that looks like it can take on hefty 50lb monitors in size, but in reality can only safely support small surround satellites it is comically oversized for.Size aside, the brown color is unfortunately lighter than the pictures suggest. At least, putting it on top of dark a dark brown counter next to brown picture frames, it does not even come close to fitting in. I wish the black version was available still on Amazon.Now that I have assembled a pair of these, it's quite clear that many of the negative reviews where the socket popped out screwed the wires into the wrong side of the base plate. The vivo label side with the exposed metal sockets are supposed to face down. It's probably easier to tell on the brown version, since the bottom is obviously black and the top brown.This is why I say the instructions could be improved. The manual assigns each part a distinct code, but the parts themselves don't come labeled in said code. For example, I could only figure out which set of screws they meant by honing in on the fact that one set of screws are 25mm while the other is 30mm. If you have assembled LEGO or IKEA before, you know that they print giant numbers on each pack/part to avoid this kind of confusion.I also had trouble tightening one of the wires, as it looks like there is somehow some rust in one of the socket. I almost gave up and thought I had to email for a replacement. It might have helped if it wasn't a smooth round cylinder so I wasn't limited to just tightening by hand.The final product does look pretty cool - it's just unfortunate that it's not more practical.

Está muy bonito y facil de armar, yo coloqué una bocina que tengo y le da un toque de decoración, lo recomiendo.

We got two of these tables to hold display items in an interesting way. We get lots of comments on them. People, especially kids, love to go over and ‘twang’ the wires. Highly recommended.

I like the uniqueness of this table. It moves so it's not for drinks, but great for its intended use.
