Quiklok BS300 Studio Monitor Speaker Stand

In a word, these are "junk" stands. I bought two and the hardware supplied was either incomplete or mis-manufactured to the point it was unusable. I substituted my own (much nicer) hardware and got them assembled, but I would never trust them with anything heavier than about 25 pounds. The idea of using (a very cheap) 6mm bolt to support the entire weight of the speaker is laughable and the overall quality of the stand could be surpassed by a first year metal shop student. If anyone actually used these in a studio (which I doubt), it would only be long enough to buy new stands and get these sold on ebay. I blame myself since I was suckered in by the low price, but these are not suitable for any professional use. Save your money and buy a real stand from a real manufacturer.

I can understand the other reviews difficulty in assembling these due to the lack of step-by-step instructions, but it's honestly not too much trouble. Once you get them set up, they work like a charm, supporting small-but-heavy speakers with ease. Highly recommended.

These stands would be great if they came with all the correct pieces in the box. Add in vague directions and the result is mediocre at best. The seller on amazon has been very helpful, however, the actual manufacturer, Quicklok, has done nothing to resolve the situation of the missing parts. A good price and if you're willing to take the gamble of what might show up in the box, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, shell out a couple more bucks and buy a set from a more reputable manufacturer.

These stands are heavy-duty and generally great looking and well-made, and will certainly do the job for your studio monitors... But these guys could do a much better job with the assembly instructions, and the threads for the leveling feet were not properly tapped, so we needed to use channel-locks to "force" them into the holes. In the long run, this probably means the threads are stripped and won't be serviceable for future adjustments.

Let me start by saying that once you get these stands put together they ARE very sturdy and will support a 30# speaker w/o toppling. However, putting them together-- and some of the overall quality aspects-- need to be addessed. As others have stated, these stands do not come with assembly instructions, rather, simply a picture. Granted, a monkey could probably assemble them by the picture alone *IF* he had great patience-- which neither monkeys nor humans do (I know I don't...)First off, the screw that holds the top plate on stands a 50/50 chance of having its threads marred and then having to be crossthreaded to attach to the riser pole. Not a huge problem since you'll probably never take it apart but there's no reason for such a nuisance. If the manufacturers (chinese) had simply made the non-threaded hole 1/32" larger the problem would be solved. The "cable management" system consists of 2 plastic grommetts the you push into 2 holes on the top and bottom poles. 3 of the 4 broke whe... Read more
