Stands don't put together incredibly well. The rubber seal which connects the two pieces sort of crunch up when put together. Once assembled, they have a good weight and mount any speaker. I was able to put my giant speaker cable through them too.

Purchased the Sanus HTB-7 speaker stand set to provide a better, more convenient installation of my small rear "Theater in a box" speakers. This has a number of benefits including better speaker placement for sound/separation quality, freeing up space on a crowded library table and keeping the cat from knocking one speaker off the fireplace ledge.
Installation of the speakers was straightforward and quick. The set comes with a variety of hardware elements to accommodate many speaker mounting configurations. Very thoughtful. The teardrop base is substantial enough in weight and shape without being execessively large. Each speaker can be raised, lowered or turned on its mount readily to permit simple fine tuning of positioning and aiming.
The only complaint I have is regarding the speaker wire exit on the mounting stands. The stand shafts are hollow to permit routing the wires from the floor through the base and stand shafts up to the speaker. An elongated hole on the shaft near the top is intended as the wire exit from the shaft to route to the speaker. Pushing a twisted wire pair up from the bottom of the shaft is okay until you reach the exit hole. The trick is to somehow grasp the wires to pull them out of the smallish hole. A bent paper clip or some stiff wire is needed to finish the job.
All in all, these speaker stands are functional, unobtrusive, attractive and relatively inexpensive. There are other manufacturers and Sanus models but these are definitely worth the price.

This product serves its purpose if you have small speakers.
The stands are very compact and looks very contemporary.
The middle connection to hold up the sliding arm is a little flimsy and could have been better.
The base has decent weight to keep it up and steady.

Speaker stands are easy to assemble and handle my Polk speakers very well.
The stands are easy to adjust and look great.

I bought these speaker stands to mount some smaller (3 lb.) rear surround speakers. Although they look good out of the box, looks can be deceiving. It is very difficult to get the speaker wire through the very skinny tubes in the stand. There is one joint in the middle which has to be tightened and can be loosened to adjust the height of the speaker. There is a flimsy plastic piece that you have to tighten to secure the stand. As I went to tighten the first stand the plastic piece promptly split right down the middle from top to bottom, rendering it useless. No amount of epoxy in the world could salvage this piece and so now my lovely speaker stand is held together by duct tape. At least the duct tape is silver! By the time I got to the second stand, I was afraid to tighten the plastic piece at all. Now I have two loose speaker stands. I just hope no one sneezes next to them and knocks them over. I bought some Sanus HF1S stands for my larger (7 lb) front speakers and these stands are a thing of beauty. Very sturdy and well built but too much stand for the smaller rear speakers. Take some friendly advice and keep looking if you are thinking about the HTB-7 stands.

One other thing to consider is that if you do not plan to use your home theater often you can choose home theater furniture that isn’t as comfortable or as durable or easy to clean, but keep in mind that this sort of seating may not be worth it in the long run.
