Summary:
Have had for about 2 months now. I have the base (EFAB) and 5 shelves (EFAS). It looks great with all my components,tv and speakers which are all black. The shelves are very sturdy and scratch resistant. I found that Reference A/V out of California had it for the best price. My only complaint would be that the underside of the shelves are white instead of black, which can be seen on the top shelves when sitting. I looked at quite a few different brands and found Sanus to be the best for the money.

Strengths:
Nice design, strong and durable, easy to assemble

Weaknesses:
None.

Summary:
This system is an absolute winner in every way. Solid steel tubing, (which is hollow, but can be filled to make the unit even more stable), and super strong shelving that can hold upwards of 60 lbs each!
You buy the base, EFAB, and you can add up to 7 shelves (EFAS) for a total of 8 components!
I assembled the base and 5 shelves in less than 15 minutes with NO TOOLS at all, and it is the most solid of any other A/V support system I have ever seen!
I got the base and 4 shelves for around $300, but if you shop around you can probably do better.
Can't beat it for the price and quality, a no brainer.

Strengths:
Super easy to assemble, no tools required!
Very low cost for Very high quality.

Weaknesses:
None.

Summary:
A solid, modular system for those of us on a budget. You can buy the single amp stand to start, and add modular shelves as funds allow or needs grow. The tubes can be filled with lead shot to make the entire frame rock-solid. No floating shelves like in some higher-end racks, but unless you have a turntable, a couple of vibrapods or equivalent absorbers will complete the isolation. Clean lines and a solid feel in a reasonable price.
