- Pros: Easy assembly, not too heavy but sturdy enough to hold an 11 pounds bookshelf speaker on without problems, nice look, adjustable height from 31" to 45, cable management system
Cons: Pricey, clamp style speaker adapter doesn't tilt and speaker slide off clamp base very easy, need to be secured with velcro pads provided.
Overall it's a good product with a nice look and aesthetics

- Very, very well priced - excellent value. Unobtrusive in my living room despite it's length (it is long enough for my 40" LCD) not too deep so doesn't protrude into the room and has ample space for all my electronics. Very sturdy, well constructed and easy to assemble.

5 comments about Sanus Systems NF206 Natural Furniture A/V Stand (Cherry).
- It's pretty (I have the cherry one), but it will vibrate front to back, and there's no way to brace against this. To make things worse, mine seems to resonate with the turntable, so that once it starts shaking, it doesn't stop before bouncing the arm right into the air. (Think Tacoma Narrows Bridge.) Nice piece of furniture if you're all digital, though.
- When upgrading my stereo recently I was in the market to replace an old falling apart Kmart stereo rack, so I wanted the new one to look good, and this unit certainly does. The open look, the nice wood, and glass shelves are very classy, and the openness provides unusually good ventilation for your components. Of course, you pay for the looks. The price has actually dropped about $100 since I first saw it in my Crutchfield catalog, but it's still pretty expensive. I suspect that those six pieces of tempered glass are a significant portion of the cost.
The shelf openings are quite good-sized, enough for any component you're likely to come across (except the bigger-than-a-breadbox Denon 5805!). The construction is very solid. The heavy, tempered-glass shelves don't rest on the metal rods that connect the front and back (as it might look in the photos) but in wide notches in the rear support and well-fitted grooves in the front, and they are very stable. The overall unit DOES wobble a bit back-to-front, this really is inevitable with no side bracing. It's not an issue with stereo gear but I don't know that I'd want to perch a TV on that high top shelf. Sanus also makes matching low-boy units that would be better for a TV.
Also, there are NO CASTERS, even as an extra-cost option. This makes hookup of your gear potentially difficult, because turning the (heavy) stand for temporary access to the back of your (heavy) components would be just about impossible, and possibly injurious to your floor, as the unit is supplied. Get some of those "Magic Sliders" Teflon furniture feet. Amazon has them, or your local hardware store. I used the small round stick-on size, two discs on the rear leg, one each in the front, for my hardwood floor, and they worked like a charm. On carpeting you might want the bigger ones. I would call these a NECESSITY for this item.
The integrated wire-management system, consisting of holes in the rear support and plastic covers which bend into notches on the back of the support to cover the wires, is really nice. Only problem is, it's not big enough. I am using this stand with a Denon 2807 receiver, plus a turntable, cassette deck, VCR, CD player, DVD player, and laserdisc player (plus five speakers, and a TV on its own stand). This gear all fits on the shelves handsomely with plenty of room to spare, but the wiring to the receiver BARELY fits through the cutouts in the rear support, and the wire cover is nowhere near big enough to fit over it all. This is especially true if you use heavier-gauge interconnects like Monster Cable makes, pretty likely if you are spending this kind of money for a stand. But even without the wire-management system's cover on, being able to route the wires through the holes in the rear support keeps them somewhat tamed and pretty well out of sight, so it's still a great feature.
I found assembly quite straightforward even though there were some minor inaccuracies in the instructions provided.
Overall I'm delighted with this unit, and I recommend it (with the few reservations noted). It has made my home theater system worth showing off and a highlight of my living room.
- Stand looks great next to a wall, but looks even better in a corner. Very nice unique look... not your "cookie-cutter" type box stand. Easy to assemble and very sturdy.
- The NF206 entertainment tower is a beautiful piece of furniture. Excellent finish, solid wood and well designed. I like the fact that there are plenty of shelves, actually more than I need today, so it leaves plenty of room for expansion. I saw some reviews stating that the tower is wobbly. This is not because there is movement (play) within the parts of the stand itself, but because the stand is not on a solid floor. If the tower is placed on flooring made of tile, hardwood, or linoleum, I am positive that it will not wobble.
The tower was extremely well boxed. I am very, very pleased with this product.
- This is a great unit,. but it's really disappointing that Crutchfield is charging *higher* than the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the unit. Check out Sanus' web site. Home>Products> AV Foundations> Natural> NF206. You'll see a MSRP twenty dollars less than what Crutchfield is charging. Very disappointing. I usually come to Amazon to save moeny, not be overcharged.
