Hey fellas, I need a pair of inexpensive monitor stands that are slim, tidy, and durable. Either that or any cheapo alternative that's been proven to not fail... but, everything I see is so needlessly expensive. Any suggestions?

Not sure what size you need, but these are the stands that I use and they've been great! Fairly cheap too.

I checked those out. They look great except for the additional $20 on top of the shipping charge. I'll see if Guitar Center carries em.

3 legs means more stability and less chance to break down on you if they did a shitty job welding the thing.

You could also go the DIY route, fill a wide-diameter PVC pipe with dry sand and glue/screw/nail/whatever two squares of MDF on the top and the bottom.

yep, they do. they'll pricematch 'em too, since they own musicians friend.

i've seen these in person at Guitar Center... i thought they were really wobbly and not sturdy and cheaply made. it could have been just the display model, but i don't think i would buy a pair

i dont know if that is the price range you are looking for but everyone that buys them loves them.

Good thing you read the previous posts and noticed that those are the same exact ones I was linked to, only they cost $70 on Musicians Friend. I expect a price match and discount for stupidity on your part.
