Step 5:
After my in-depth measuring session, I used a scribe to mark where the screws needed to go. The scribe also served nicely as a hole-starter. After you have your marks on the tops/bottoms and legs, go ahead and drill a screw through the tops/bottoms until they just peek out the other side. |

Step 6:
Now you can fit the legs to the screws that you just installed. Here, you'll be able to see how effective you were in your measuring. Needless to say, my measurements were flawless. After you have mounted the legs on one side, the other side will be much easier as it basically holds the legs up for you. |

Step 7:
Slap on the other side and you have successfully assembled your stands! Time to pretty them up. I grabbed some spray-on wood stain from Lowe's; Early American being the flavor of my choice. I also grabbed some fast-drying polyurethane. |

Step 8:
Here you can see the difference between the stained stand and the unstained one. You may favor the unstained one, in which case just save your money and leave the stain at the store. After the stain and polyurethane has dried, then stick some of those pads onto the bottoms of the stands. This will keep them from scratching up your floor, as well as cut down on unwanted vibrations. Here is the finished product. These stands are nice and sturdy and have a pretty unique design. I put the mousepad between the top of the stand and the speakers to further help cut down on vibrations. Now crank it up! |
