I have a similar pair Sanus stands for about a year now, and they are pretty good. They were easy to put together from what I remember and they came with small rubber pads for my speaker to rest on (no vibration) which I thought was cool. I have mine on carpet, so the bottom spikes come in handy. I do however have to shift them every once in a while as my carpet gets use to the indentions and the stand tilts a bit. Maybe it just a crooked floor or bad carpet layout...dunno. Anyway, I would recommend these. Solid construction. Speaker stands are speaker stands I guess..not much too them.
