Argos glass hi fi stand..............opinions?

I've been looking at one of these for( http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...i%2Bstands.htm )a while and was wondering about the followng, will it take the sony 1200es with the following dimensions:W430mm H175mm D430mm?
This weighs 15kg and the stand can take up to 40kg , i presumme thats a combined weight?

Plus i was wondering if the shelves are interchangable i.e can the larger bottom shelf be assembled / used as the top shelf.

Just wondered if anyone has any veiws and opinions etc?

Yes you could mix up the shelfs if you wanted to.It's a nice looking cabinet,well worth the dosh,hope i've helped.

The gaps are normally determined by the order you "attach" the tubes.

Capacity is 50kg.

Hi adonis
It can take a Denon 2807 receiver no problem on the bottom shelf.

Re: Argos glass hi fi stand..............opinions?

hey i bought this stand also just the other day. good and solid, all 5mm glass, wheras the top one is 8mm.

at the min all i got on it is my ntl box, and my pc sub, but looking to add on a htpc antec fusion case, and a onkyo 605 in the future job.

Re: Argos glass hi fi stand..............opinions?

Hi Guys,

Can anyone that has this stand let me know what the distance is between the bottom and second from bottom shelf please? Also can you leave a shelf off if you want when setting it all up?

I also need to know what's the actual width between the pillars?

I'm looking for something to put my Onkyo 605 in and not sure it will fit in this stand.
