Step 2: Attach the Feet

Step 4: Adjust the Stand Height

1. To adjust the height of the stand, loosen the knob at the top.
2. Pull up the top part of the stand to reveal holes for height adjustment.
3. Once you find your desired height, insert the pin through the hole that matches the height you want.
4. Tighten the knob to lock the stand in place, ensuring it stays at your preferred height.

Step 5: Adjust the Panels for Speaker Width

1. The panels on top of the shelf are adjustable to fit the width of your speakers.
