Should note that these stands are not made of actual cherry wood, but some cheaper wood stained to look like cherry.

As the wood was soft, I just 'tre-panned' it with a swiss knife

As a preventive measure against cracking the wood I sprayed some silicone spray lube on the screws before tightening them all the way down

Be careful with over tightening as the wood is not real hard wood, more like the 'paper mache' type

It is solid wood and very easy to assemble

Great quality and the wood matched my Polk Monitors 40's near perfectly
