I am using one of these as a center channel speaker stand which sits under my projector and it is the perfect height.

Right height 12 1/2" and the right "look"

These were easy to put together and are the perfect height for my Behringer Truth monitor speakers.

To me, it seems that beyond the stoppers improper size, them being cut in half makes the job way more difficult, as they continually slip apart while you are forcing one half into the column (which, again, needs to be machined about 2mm wider to more easily accept the stopper — or the stoppers need to be machined about 2mm smaller).After about an hour, I completed the assembly and placed my Audioengine 2+ powered speakers atop the stands on either side of my 2 computer monitors — which positions them (using foam speaker cushion wedges) at a perfect height, angle and distance from my ears while I work

n’t recommend it for people who don’t like putting things together or want something super high quality
