Product is solidly built and went together with great ease. No issues whatsoever. I think I will buy another one for the basement system.

It's not often that I am particularly impressed with a product. It seems that everything costs more and that quality is going steadily down to save on production costs. This is a rare exception and what an exception. For reference I have a Salamander Archetype rack for my main system which costs about double what this Monolith rack costs. Is it better in any way ? Not really unless you really need the shelves to be fully adjustable. This Monolith is solid as a rock and heavy (more than 60 lbs) ! The shelves might be MDF but I've seen some much lighter duty MDF. These are made of very dense 1 inch MDF that look absolutely divine in the "faux" but fabulous maple finish (XL version). The instructions are clear without the need for any written words. The steps are easy to follow and I completed the rack in 15 minutes with no additional tools needed. Everything is in the box and neatly packed. Although mine came with absolutely no damage whatsoever (not a scratch, chip or anything bent), I'd like the shelve packaging to be more robust. I'd like to point out that there is a single error that I could find in the instructions: In step 4, they list 4 X F screws and 4 X G washers when in fact there are only 2 furnished and only 2 needed. Small mistake. A tip for screwing the pillars: tighten them lightly with one hand and when tight, grip them with both hands and continue tightening. You will have much more torque and be able to have a tighter/more solid connection between shelf and column. Minor things I would prefer: Black powdered pillars/columns. IMHO the combo black/maple shelves would look even better then the silver painted ones here. I'd also like the bottom pillars/columns to be as high as the ones from the other shelves. In other words I'd like the bottom shelf to be slightly higher off the ground and the rack to be a good 4-6 inches higher overall. These things are very minor. Considering the price for this model (just a tad higher than the regular model Monolith), I am shocked at the quality/price ratio. You will not get anything remotely as solid at this price period ! I am almost ashamed of keeping this in the basement for my secondary exercise room "vintage" system. It looks so nice that it has no business being in a basement. It can be proudly displayed in a living room, bedroom or movie theater room. In other words it looks expensive but it's not. Unless you need fully adjustable shelves for very tall equipment, there is no need to pay much more for just that feature. Get it and don't look back !

Extremely easy to assemble. Good quality and quite solid (which is it's purpose). Recommended. One thing... box with everything in it was EXTREMELY heavy.

Very sturdy, well-made audio stand, modular construction allows some customization of shelf positioning, and number of shelves desired.

I had read all the five star reviews before deciding to purchase Monolith by Monoprice 4 Tier Audio Stand XL Maple. I can add my five star review as well. This unit arrived exceedingly well packaged. Each piece individually wrapped in cardboard.Assembly was easy to follow and straightforward. The most impressive feature of the unit is how sturdy it is. It is one very solid piece of furniture. Since I just purchased an expensive Pro-Ject Debut Pro Turntable it was critical to have furniture to support any chance of movement while playing vinyl LP's.It is a winner as is the Pro-Ject Debut Pro Turntable. You won't be disappointed.

Veramente ben costruito, facile da montare, carpenteria ed imballo del prodotto perfetto, non so cosa si possa ottenere di piu', ero da tempo alla ricerca di un tavolino per le mie elettroniche senza svenarmi, non risuona, i piedini sono regolabili se occorre mettere in bolla a causa del pavimento, tutto molto solido, peccato fosse finito il colore noce scuro. Fare attenzione solo a certe elettroniche, ad esempio un vecchio sintoampli largo 48 cm o lo metti nel primo ripiano in alto a discapito del giradischi, o ci devi rinunciare. Prodotto Made in Taiwan ma arriva dagli USA.

Bought this to carry my audiophile quality hi fi equipment. Stands made by the equipment maker cost around £3k for four shelves and as I wasn’t sure that this arrangement would suit my lounge I decided to buy a low cost version as a try out. What a good decision that was. This stand is very well made, it assembled very easily and provides a rock solid base for my equipment. The objective of a stand is to eliminate any vibrations from the equipment. The expensive versions have real wood shelves and spiked feet for each shelf whereas this stand has MDF shelves and steel column supports. MDF is a very inert substance and in my view is ideal for damping vibrations. I also find the stand a quite attractive piece of furniture and my equipment sounds very clean and detailed on it, so in all a very satisfactory purchase at very low cost which doesn’t happen very often!

kann mich den Vorrednern nur anschließen. Einfache Montage mit guter Anleitung. Hochwertig und sehr stabil. Es passt jede handelsübliche Anlage mit Einzelkomponenten hinein. Selbst unser großer Verstärker mit Tuner und einer Höhe von 21,5 cm hat nach oben noch 1 cm Luft. Auch optisch ist das Design zeitlos schick. Somit ist für mich als Sparfuchs auch der Preis völlig gerechtfertigt. Ich kann das Teil nur empfehlen und bin froh das ich mich dafür entschieden habe. War übrigens ein Geburtstagsgeschenk für meine Frau, damit konnten wir ihre alte Stereoanlage wieder aufstellen und benutzen. somit habe ich sogar doppelt gepunktet :-)

This is such a great rack for the price. Note: the maple version is not actual maple but it is printed MDF. I wish they have mentioned that in the description. Nevertheless, it is still an awesome rack for the price.

My only advice to the manufacturer is to label all parts to match the instructions. The unit I received did not have all parts labeled to match instructions so you need to measure most pieces and figure out how to install it together. Additionally the instructions begin by directing you to install it together upside down, then turn it rightsize up to finish (which is fine and begins to make sense when you're halfway through) but it never mentions this fact in the instructions adding to the assembly confusion and time to assemble. Regardless, I give it five stars as it is very well made and very solid. I have a 53LBS receiver sitting firmly on top, 30Lbs tube amp and 45LBs receiver on the bottom and no wobbles at all.
