Home > Consumer Reviews > Sanus HTB4 Glass Base Home Theater/Box Speaker Stands

This item is aesthetically appealing but is very cheaply made and does not stay together once assembled. The connector piece that joins the upper metal rods is made of plastic and does not hold the speaker in place. The rubber that is supposed to keep the upper rod in place doesn't. I do not recommend these stands. Unfortunate, as they would be very nice to look at...the bases are beautiful and made of glass.

I was not totally satisfied with this product. I have assembled 100's it items at home before but still the assembly of this one was quite confusing. The major source of disappointment was the way the stand looks once assemebled. Once completely assmembled, the glass base of the stand doesn't sit parallel to the floor, rather it slopes towards the front, making the entire stand look quite awkward. None of the pictures on the box or in the assemebly instructions clearly show this. So I had to struggle with it for while, trying to figure out what I was doing "wrong". (why it won't sit flat with the floor). Finally called the customer support only to be told that the "slopped base" was by design. So be aware of this

Very sturdy and beautiful stands- several different ways to mount speakers, both bottom and back mounts. However, the assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired. Read the written instructions and look at the diagram in the back and you'll be able to figure out where most of the parts go. Going on just the written instructions will leave important parts out :)

Great product, matches my t.v. stand. But keep in mind that the glass bases do not hide the speaker wire very well but that is obvious and I purchased with knowing that.

These stands are quite sturdy for small and/or light book shelf speakers. The glass and metal look is great and the stalks are adjustable to be tall enough next to my 56" LCD RPTV.

One note is that the largest gauge speaker wire you can pass throught the stands is 16g. I had some 14g that I was using and it would not fit through the openings.
