I purchased this stereo shelf as a temporary solution until I build my own custom shelving system. This rack has delayed my project because it works so well, and it is not horrible to look at, either. It builds quite easily, all parts were included, is incredibly sturdy and will more than likely hold more weight than you would want to put on a sub 100 dollar stereo shelf. It holds my AV receiver and 2 amplifiers with ample space above each for proper ventilation. The rack is sturdy enough that I experience no feedback and am able to safely keep my turn-table on top.My only request for the manufacturer would be the option to have 2 'large' shelves, rather than just the one. I plan to add an additional power amp soon, and don't know where it's going to live quite yet.For under 100, you can't go wrong. If you're considering it, go for it. You will be happy. Arrived quickly, also.
