To be brief, this is a great value. It is well made, easy to assemble, looks good and functions as designed. I am a consumer whose focus is on function and quality. I want to purchase an item one time, not every year or every other year. And, I don't want to pay for some lavish branding campaign. So for me, this is just what I wanted! Another benefit is that this can be modified; I purchased a shelf separately and added it. If I get any more gear, I might end up purchasing another add-on shelf. I'm quite pleased and certainly would recommend this to others.

Extremely well-made product and everything fits perfectly. Assembly is very easy and the instructions for assembly are easy to follow. Love the look.
Have more components and I am strongly considering purchasing another stand for them.

Item came packaged well with no damage. Assembly with clear easy to read and understand instructions ,it took 15 to 20 minutes. The included hardware is of good quality .
Fit and finish is very good with a final product being substantial sturdy and hefty.
I put a six pc stereo componet with heavy amplifier on casters, without worry of a failure. Overall a descent value. Would buy again.

With the added shelf and a set of 10" posts, the height is the Pangea recommended maximum of 43". With this set-up, it seems really sturdy. Everything holds together tight and without any wobbles or vibrations. It would take a lot of effort to tip this over. Of course I wouldn't recommend it for children to climb on, but I guess that could be said about any rack furniture.

I've got that turntable on there and I don't hear any issues with vibration. But I'm not going to say that this rack is audiophile grade. If I tap on that shelf --and that shelf only--while a record is playing, I can hear it through the speakers. Tapping on any other shelf is inaudible. But who knows how much I'd have to spend on a rack for total isolation, which isn't a problem anyway. Racks costing hundreds more aren't any more anti-resonant. It's a non-issue.

My only complaint is related to the assembly, which wasn't the least bit complicated to begin with. It was less complicated than any Ikea shelf system. In fact, I think that's part of the problem. It's too simple. No tools required is nice, but leaves me wondering if this rack could be better if it was just a little more complicated. I wouldn't mind using an allen key for this, or a screwdriver for that. Why make it so simple when the people who buy this are probably into electronics and thus into tinkering?

Another assembly-related complaint is that the threaded rods that connect the posts together aren't meant to be screwed finger tight into the posts, which confused me. It turns out they're supposed to remain loose or else there won't be enough thread left for the next post. The directions don't tell you that either. Call me a slow learner, but I kinda sorta had to figure that out after trial-and-error. That isn't to say anything is "loose," as you end up tightening the posts towards each other anyway. It just took me a good 5-10 mins to figure out what I was doing wrong. That wouldn't have been the case with Ikea directions.

Another thing is that this rack was designed to be disassembled from the bottom up if for some reason you need to disassemble it. You could start from the top, but you'd have to remove those plastic caps which aren't meant to be removed from the top. If they were meant for that, they'd be shaped to accommodate a wrench or a screwdriver. They aren't. So, when I needed to reconfigure the shelves to move the 10" and 8" posts to different levels, I had to use vice grips to get those caps off. That scratched the caps and was just a hassle. It was less of a hassle than disassembling from the bottom, but to me it was an example of how Pangea went overboard trying to maintain simplicity.

Again....not really complaining...just thinking out loud. Overall I like this rack...A LOT. But if I could change one more thing it would be the adjustability of the spikes for leveling purposes. Just not very user friendly as it stands right now. They work and they're stable; I just wish they could be fine-tuned more easily that's all.

Nice rack. Very happy overall.

Product was a good deal at the price. It all assembled without the need for tools and works great for my simple audio setup.
