Great product. They are easy to put together, constructed well enough, and stay in place. With a full size speaker on top, they are the right height to line up with the middle of your TV on the wall and with your ears as well. Highly recommend.

I have just a basic home theater in my condo, and wasn't looking to get too expensive with any of the parts. These stand do their job, but I have some reservations and if you want to spend more money there are much better options.
First off, as other customers have noted, the wire management system is a joke. There is no grove at the base of the stand (so the wire would cause the stand to teeter on it), and there are way too small for a good quality wire. This wasn't a big concern for me though.
Construction quality is "eh." I didn't experience any splitting (though I didn't over tighten), but I felt like it was a definitely possibility.
In short, you get what you pay for.
I should add that I'm considering getting another set for my rear speakers.

Although reviews on this product are pretty mixed, I decided to give them a try thanks to Amazon's great return policy - and I'm glad I did. I purchased the 24" stands and in a nut shell, they look good, are stable and do the job at an affordable price.
Now they're not without design flaws as many have called out here but there are also ways around these flaws.
Design flaw # 1 - Unless you're using the carpet spikes, there's no way you can run cables under the base without destabilizing the stands but this can simply be fixed by running the wires underneath the plastic backing and over the top of it - thankfully the plastic backing is short enough to allow this. I'm using thick 16 gauge wire and had not trouble with this approach.
Design flaw # 2 - Tiny hole at the center of the speaker base - no idea what they were thinking here but how can anyone squeeze a decent cable through this hole? And even if you managed to pull it off, now you're faced with "how do I plug this thing into the speaker now without destabilizing the speaker itself???" Thankfully the fix above addresses this flaw too.
Finally Design flaw #3, the gap in the front is too wide, easily exposing my thick "white" cables. Taping the wires to the back of the stands did the job here.
Seems like a lot of work, but this all didn't take me more than 30 minutes to setup and in the end, I got some nice looking speaker stands, that do the job, at a great price - what more can you ask for?

For the past year, I have had my Klipsch B-3 speakers on the floor and thought they sounded good. I found this stand for a good price and thought I would give it a try. I should have purchased the stand a long time ago. The sound is a big improvement with much more depth/dimension compared to when they were placed on the floor. Others have commented on the construction quality. For ~$30, what is there to complain about? The stands have met/exceeded my expectations. Setup was pretty straightforward, no issues.
I have a 46" Samsung on a black metal stand and the scale is just right. I am glad I did not order the taller stand, which would have looked out of proportion.

I read many reviews on Amazon about this item. I decided to give it a try, and I will say that I am happy with this purchase.
These speaker stands are the perfect size for my bookshelf speakers (approx 8x10x14). The style is nice, and they are very easy to assemble. I noticed people commented that the wood splits when putting in the screws. I thought most people were over-tightening the screws, and that's how it happens. So I took extra care when tightening the screws. The wood did split just a bit, even though I hardly tightened them at all. It is a very small split, hardly noticeable. This is most certainly a flaw in the product, not the user. However, it is such a small split (structural integrity is not compromised) that I would buy these stands again in a heartbeat.
This is a very decent product at a great price. I am very happy with the purchase.
