let me give some advise about anybody trying to cut corners on cost,dont do it,i spent $ 120 dollars on these stands and believe me it is worth every penny of it,they are sturdy and well built, made out of aluminum,which makes it light weight but built strong,eazy to adjust the mounting pole and can fit any size speaker hole by takeing the pole out and turning it on the other side of the pole,eliminateing the need to buy mounting brackets for the speakers,and the stands were shipped in good sturdy boxes,all i can say you can take a chance and buy some $ 50 dollar stands and hope they dont come scrached up or broken when they arrive at your door step,or you can just spend a little extra money and you will know you will have some good qualty stands arriveing at your door step in a good qualty box,so you want have a dent or a scratch
