I had been looking for a suitable 24" stand for my KEF LS50 bookshelf speakers. After reading the many positive reviews here on Amazon, I placed my order. They arrived quickly, and were well packaged. Assembly was an easy 10 minutes, making sure to super-tighten the top and bottom plates. I have the shiny piano black cabinets on my speakers, and these stands are a perfect match. The tempered glass base plate is very stable and attractive. I have hardwood floors, and the rubber tips included with these stands are very effective in keeping the bottom points from marring the floor.At about 12 pounds each, they appear very stable, but I am considering filling the vertical tubes with sand or another inert filler for added stability and sound enhancement.Overall, I am very pleased with these stands, and can highly recommend them for your bookshelf speakers. Excellent price and manufacturing build. Oh, and my wife, who is more concerned with aesthetics than fidelity, is also impressed with the way they look!
