Fairly ease to assemble, results are sturdy and look good. Seems to have enough hardware to fit many different types of speakers. I judge these stands to be of good value.

What's great about it: Item
What's not so great: Best Buy
Item came in box that looked like it was literally dropped from a 10 story building and then was taped up. Stands were not in best shape with dings and scratches. Looked like open box item. Ordered online. I paid for new, but got this. Shame on you Best Buy. Box had missing mounts. Was supposed to have two of each so that you could fit it for your particular speakers. With what i had I could only mount one speaker.
I do like the stands and will exchange. But never expected this from Best Buy. I recommend the item, but not the seller.

What's great about it: easy assembly, sturdy, nice decor
What's not so great: Tough to run through speaker wire with thicker gauges (12 or 14 AWG; 16 AWG may be easier)
These stands are absolutely terrific. They were easy to assemble and offers different mount options for different speakers. The only difficulty I had was running the speaker wire since i was using 14 AWG. It was a little tough getting it through the upper tube since it's a little more narrow. Other than that, these stands are great!

What's great about it: Quality materials, adjustable height and mounting options.
What's not so great: Nothing really
Good looking if you like flat black, which I do. Steel tube for the stand with a steel plate to park the speaker on. Nice heavy cast iron base. No plastic junk here. A bit fiddly for one person to put together, but I had all four of them together (I bought two sets) and the speakers mounted in about an hour. Comes with an angled and straight tube for the top, and a fair selection of mounting options. Carpet spikes in addition to rubber feet for the bottom are nice.

What's not so great: small notch at the base is pointless
I bought my first pair and had to come back for the second pair. They are very easy to assemble and are very functional and can be used with many speakers. Small notch at bottom isnt very functional. however, that was not enough to stop me from buying them.

What's not so great: would like others colors to choose from
I was amazed at how heavy the bases are. I put the angled poles on & put them behind the couch. Not that bad to assemble. I just used needlenose pliers to pull wire through hole. Moving speakers from endtables to these stands made a HUGE difference They work great.

What's great about it: They are reasonably good looking and very versatile stands
What's not so great: The base is a little bulky
They are a good alternative to the high priced stands. They can be extended to almost 5 feet tall to get the speakers high enough to clear furniture and whatever. A Best Buy!

What's great about it: Easy assembly, strong, lots of screws and brackets for different speakers. Height is great.
What's not so great: The finish could be smooth.
These stands assemble very easily, and come with many plates to hold different types of speakers. Supper heavy, and will hold up to 10lb. speakers. I am getting two more today for my front speakers. They had different backing brackets, and didn't think they would work, but tried them when I got home and no problem. I wish the finish was a smooth black, but these won't show scratches, if they will even scratch. The finish is like the old speaker stands I used when I was in a rock band many years ago. I would highly recommend these stands. To bad they couldn't have made the screws and nuts black. All in all, GREAT STANDS!

What's great about it: Has many attachments to fit different speaker types and sizes, both straight and angled rods, can hide wires
What's not so great: The black outer coat can chip off
I bought two sets for one for my rear (angled) and the front (straight). They make the surround sound that much more real. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. They are very sturdy and have pegs that you can attach on the bottom of the stand (if you want to) for even more stability on carpet. It is a great buy, I highly recommend them!

I have had a surround sound system for 5 years but never considered using speaker stands. I figured I could just put my speakers on top of other existing furniture in my living room. Well, I finally decided to buy these stands and all I can say is WOW - I can't believe what I have been missing all this time. I specifically bought these for my rear speakers which up until this point were behind me on a table that was a little below head level. These stands allow the rear speakers to be elevated above sitting level and enables the sound to encircle me rather than bounce off my back! I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to be a part of the action.

SEE PICS I HAVE ATTACHED WITH THIS REVIEW!
Once I moved into my first house, my main goal was to have a home theater set up for my friends and I to enjoy. After puchasing a speaker package, it was important for me to set up the speakers in the perfect position.
There are many problems with mounting speakers on the wall...
1. it is expensive
2. its annoying and looks horrible with the wires dangling
3. you are stuck if you ever want to re arrange your home theater
Once I started reading about Hover Foundations, there is no reason to even think about mounting speakers on your wall. Hover stands place your speakers in the perfect position for an ideal home theater experience.
Whether it be sports, movies or video games... having all sound effects seem like they are flying over your head is awesome. With these stands, you feel closer to the action than you ever imagined.
ADVICE: USE 1 PAIR FOR YOUR FRONTS WITH THE STRAIGHT PILLAR. USE A SECOND PAIR FOR YOUR REAR SPEAKERS USING THE ANGLED PILLAR

My wife and I just moved into our new house and the first thing we did was set up the home theater system we got for our wedding. I did my research on the proper speaker stands to get for a "home theater in a box" set up, and we could not be happier with the Hover Foundation stands!!!
Im puzzled why people are always so quick to "poo poo" home theater in a box systems. Everyone at our house warming was blown away by our system, and that praise was thanks largely to the Hover Foundation stands.
Everyone was amazed at how realistic watching "300" became with all the sound effects seeming like they were flying over our heads!
I never imagined that speaker stands could be the missing component i needed to have an impressive home theater. Hover Foundations were exactly what I was looking for!!!

I agree with the points covered previously by reviewer SirWire. So, please read that review. (By the way, thanks SirWire).
Here's some additional comments:
I purchased these stands so that I could use them with my surround speakers (Athena AS-B1.1) (7 w x 9 1/2 d x 14 h) which according to various web sites, should be raised to about 2 to 3 feet over the listener's head for movies (and about head's height for music).
The adjustable extension bar of these stands allows for that kind of flexibility, extending up to 58" over the floor. So, I've set the plate's height at 54".
To attach the speakers to the plate I used high strength velcro strips sold at a Target store next to my local Best Buy store which have adhesive tape in the back, and they work very well.
With these relatively large surround speakers, I have to use the straight bar extension.
I watched King Kong (again) after I raised my surround speakers to 54" and I will admit that I like the surround effects much better now than when I had them at 33" (slightly above) ears height. Now the airplanes are really flying "over-head".

Very Impressive Stands

These stands are superlative. They are heavy (this is a good thing), well-built, and relatively easy to assemble.
Upon first opening the box, you see easy-to-follow instructions, and all of the parts are sorted and labled in individual compartments in a long strip of bags. No more sifting through a bag of fifty different parts and comparing bits to the pictures to find the right one. Instead, each little compartment is labled with something like: "8 - Rubber Base Pads (E)". The instructions tell you when to use each part.
The stand also comes with a fairly large selection of different mounting options, so don't be worried if you have many parts left over when you are done.
One thing you must keep in mind with these stands is that if you have small children or rambunctions pets around, they are not too difficult to tip over, because the base is fairly small. It would not take too much of a jolt to tumble these things over, especially if you have the speaker mounted fairly high and/or the speaker is heavy.
The finish is put on well and fairly attractive (black cast iron.) Of course, taste is subjective, but I think they look better than most other stands out there, and they should wear well, since they do not have a glossy finish prone to scratches.
All in all, while these stands are not cheap, they are fairly good.
