I planned to make them but I fell for the Amazon offering. The production is good, thick and not resonating metal, for filling with dry sand or other. Tube section is modest. It's a classic, made to last. Nice finish in silver, with quality paint. Tried on Kef iQ30 the result is successful, nothing beats a quality pair of feet to place the "libraries" properly. So, they take the same place as columns ... but that's another question!
