 Upgrade to Amazon's description of this item.Jul 17, 2006
By Brik
FYI here are some product details not specified on Amazon's description. I did not realize these are only designed for smaller bookshelf speakers. Up to 15 lbs. The 24" stand has a 7.5" by 7.5" speaker base so it can handle a bigger speaker. I really needed the bigger base.
Model # BF31b
Package Dimensions
Black W = 30"
D = 10"
H = 3"
Product Dimensions
W = 11.5"
D = 11"
H = 31"
31" tall with 5"x5" top plate for small bookshelf speakers

fine, but don't believe everythingFeb 02, 2006
By Thomas Permutt
They serve the purpose and look nice, but both the ad copy and the instructions may be misleading enough to invite comment.
1. They're not wood. They're some quite unobjectionable black stuff that may be better suited than wood. Sanus makes more expensive stands out of wood, but not these.
2. The "wire management" system, if implemented as suggested, is idiotic. There are holes but no grooves in both the base and the speaker platform. If you stick the wires through them, then both the speaker and the whole stand will wobble on the wires.
Fortunately, there is no need to do so. Just leave spaces at the top and bottom of the back and run the wires through there.
3. Even worse, they tell you to set the speaker on the stand, wire it up, and then complete the assembly by snapping the back on, which takes some force. Even if you are much less clumsy than I, this would be tempting fate.
Again, fortunately, there is no need to. Stick the wire through and put on the back, in whichever order you prefer, and then put the speaker on and connect it.

PerfectSep 20, 2005
By Darren Ghiso
I wasn't expecting much for $30 but these were exactly what I was looking for. A nice looking 3 foot stand for my bookshelf speakers. It gives a very impressive look to your home audio system and really improves the treble as opposed to having your speakers on the floor. Great quality...definitely something to consider.

 They're cheapJun 23, 2006
By Sean Harding
These stands are cheap in both senses of the word. They're a lot less expensive than most other speaker stands of this size, which is great. I also found them to be cheaply built, which is less than great. They'll do the job, but I'm not particularly impressed with the quality.
The "wood" split in a couple of places on mine when I screwed the pieces together. I may have gotten the screws slightly crooked, but they looked straight to me. In any case, I did the best I could and it still split in two places. In one, I had to leave that screw out completely to make it not look really bad (the further the screw goes in, the more it splits). The other looks acceptable with the screw in, so I left it.
The "isolation pads" (little padded stickers you put on top of the stands for the speakers to sit on) don't seem to stick very well. One of mine comes off every time I move the speaker (and yes, I'm sure I put the sticky side down). I have another older set of Sanus stands (I think from a different line, or maybe just an older style -- they look somewhat similar, but are defintely better built) on which the pads work fine.
The carpet spikes are also not as nice as those on my other Sanus stands. The old set I have has relatively small metal spikes. These go into the carpet easily, and hold the stands very steady. They were also fairly easy to put in, as I recall. The spikes on these stands are plastic, and they're very hard to put in. I had to use a mallet to put them in. They're also pretty big, and I find they're very hard to get into the carpet. If they aren't all the way in, the stand is very wobbly. Once the spikes are in, they make a big hole (not good if you move the speaker). The older style is a lot better in that regard.
All that said, these will definitely hold the speakers adequately, and they look decent. They're far from top quality, but they're good for the price.

SANUS SYSTEMS BF-31B Wood Speaker StandsAug 20, 2007
By Thoynan Meoboi
Pros:
- They look good
- They have a relatively small footprint
- Style suits most modern home theater systems
Cons:
- They're a little unstable
- The top plate is very small
- Speaker wire shows through the front
- You can easily damage them during assembly
- The little rubber pads are tiny and do not stick well
Overall, they do the job. I bought two pairs and am happy with them.
