I had no problems assembling the unit. The wire rack for the top shelf did need to be "reformed" to match the pre-drilled holes. I got the titanium stand which is actually a light grey paint. I repainted it all before assembly to match my tv stand (dark grey). It does not come with any kind of cable management system, so I made my own. I took a 3 ft length of 1-1/2" PVC and drilled 1 inch holes even with each shelf. I painted it dark gray to match, and mounted it with 2 screws to the back of the shelves. All the cables run neatly down the pipe and exit about 3" from the floor. It is a great looking rack and is very sturdy. It is more than one can expect for $175.00.

Strength:

Looks, value

Weakness:

a bit small, cables look messy behind it. All racks should have cable managament these days.

Its a nice looking unit,,I bought black frame and Rosewood shelves from Audio Advisor. It looks a bit smaller than I thought, but the looks are good. It is a PAIN to put together theough.

Strength:

Well designed, strong, very attractive.

Weakness:

No where to hide wires. Six inches max between shelves. If your equiment is higher than that forget it.

This stand is like a breath of fresh air. It displays the equipment in a very attractive way. The stand cosists of two metal poles with brackets on either side. Four full size shelves with one small top shelf attach to the metal frame. The shelves are beautifully finished and very strong. The Harmony rack is easy to assemble, and very sturdy considering the open design.

This has got to be one of the best audio rack bargains out there.

P.S. I think the low price and low margin discourages dealers from carrying or selling it. Don't let them talk you out of buying one. It's a great rack at a great price.

some guys on this thread liked it. It will drive you crazy to build, and it's still junk. Either go to Ikea instead, or save your money and buy a rack that actually looks nice (my "Titanium" doesn't).

Strength:

Price

Weakness:

NO cable management.

I aslo bought the titanium frame with rosewood finish and think grey is best suited to describe the color. However the two colors work very well with each other. Overall this is the biggest bang for the buck from what I have found in stores and over the net. Remember you always get what you pay for but, this rack is just alittle better quality then you will find for the price($169.00+$25.00s/h). I did have to drill two holes in the top shelf but other than that everything went together fine(read the directions). Only thing missing is some sort of way to hide the cables. I think the best way to do this on your own is to attach 2 rows of 1"flex-tube to the back of it. 1" PVC would be a option but remember the shelfs are at a angle. If anyone has any other ideas that will work please email.(ezd96@iag.net)

Weakness:

Limited weight capability.

Purchased the unit pre-assembled. Has a nice sleek design. Is very adequate for my Mcintosh slim-line equipment. Do not receommend it for individual unit heavier than 50 lbs. per shelf. Over all, very pleased.

A little bit difficult to assemble, however very sturdy. This is probablythe cheapest rack you can find today but with great look and quality.

Strength:

the pictures look kewl but that's about it

Weakness:

impossible to assemble, shelf spacing too slim and won't fit my receiver (Denon AVR 2801), big package to send back, faux titanium finish

I had the same assembly problems as others posted here but I gave up and I'm returning it. Thanks to Soundcity for their excellent return policy. Unfortunately...

*pre-drilled holes do not align correctly with posts
*when you do attach the shelves as close as possible to the pre-drilled holes, the stand has a severe wobble
*if you correct the frame wobble the shelves will no longer lie flush

I've tried Jimming this sucker any which way and you always get the same problems. It's probably a defective piece but it seems too common given the string of postings. Even if this can be assembled correctly it won't fit my receiver!

Save yourself the time and trouble and the lost S&H and restoking fees.

The rack was more difficult to assemble than it looked. I was kind of disappointed with the finish of the metal (I asked for titanium but the actual color is gray). Oh well

Strength:

Great Looks, low price, solid weight

Weakness:

assembly takes some time and patience

I bought it for $150 demo at Audio Advisor. It is a pretty decent rack for the money. It has 4 shelves and 1 half shelf for cds. I like the little shelf and a great benefit for my cds.
