Strong.

A solid/sturdy piece. Awesome. I bought the X brace version for reassurance on strength, in case I want to slide it loaded. I also bought both drawers and the record shelf. Also the glider feet. It should hold everything I have. I mounted the small drawer underneath, for remotes, mic, and whatever. The big drawer just above it in an appropriate sized gap, for the cd and dvd cases that are loaded. I have 2 multidisk cd players, OSD amp, OSD preamp, an OSD SSVC4 switch, a Home Theater receiver, and 3 DVD players. Plus a small 4 channel switch for choosing the dvd player. It should be able to hold my AudioQuest PowerQuest 2 Power line conditioner/surge protector as well. You will have to think about the configuration of your equipment ahead of time, so you can get the shelf gaps right on the first try. Seems like it would be a huge hassle to reconfigure. Easiest to assemble upside down. Top bolts don't have screwheads or a way to grip them, except by pressing your finger down on them. Which isn't problematic enough to call a Con. It looks good too. Can't wait to get my equipment loaded. I just need to run a line and install another electrical outlet behind it first. (No grounds in my house.) Going to add a breaker for it.

Very well built; solid and sturdy. Nicely finished also. Very easy to assemble, although it would help some to know that it is easiest to assemble up side down beginning with the top.

Excellent Component Rack

Very sturdy rack. Went together very quickly with minimal issues. Just be aware that you assemble it upside down. Once you figure that out it makes total sense. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Pangea Audio Vulcan X-Brace Audio Rack

This purchase of this Pangea Audio Rack was based on my previous purchase of the available X-Brace hardware sold to add on an optional additional shelf for their racks. I used these X-Braces to build a complete custom audio stand for a home theater system as I could not find a configuration or strength requires for the heavy McIntosh processor and 601 amps and miscellaneous equipment. I used ten X-Brace kits on the project. Turned out very strong and functional. Now to review this Pangea audio rack. I had the need for a 4 shelf rack for another McIntosh system based on a very heavy MC275 tube amp. Once again I could not find an audio stand which was strong enough and offered a lower 8 inch shelf. After scouring Crutchfield and the internet, I came back the Crutchfield offered Pangea rack. Results... after 30 minutes of assembly time and with components installed, I was 100 percent satisfied (shown below).

Nice looking stand.

My wife hates to see stereo equipment; especially floor standing speakers. So I have a room in the basement. Even she said this stand looks nice! No tool setup. I put the 8.75 space at tallest spot and stacked CD player and power conditioner. I could have gotten away with the small disks on spiked legs, but bought the better ones.

Very sturdy. Sharp looking

This stand far exceeded my expectations. It not only was able to hold all my components, but looks outstanding. Very strong, stable and good looking. An excellent set of shelves for stereo equipment. Use the disks on top of furniture gliders, and you'll be happy with these shelves.

Solid bang for your buck!

All in all a great value. Sturdy and well packed. Took a little time to assemble but when completed this unit is very sturdy. As you can see I needed two two shelf units and wanted to save money and purchased the four shelf unit. I used electrical tape to protect my amp (that's in the shop) on the exposed threads of my second make shift unit and it looks and functioned well. Over all very pleased with the stability of this well priced unit.??

Perfect showcase for my equipment. The audio rack does everything it is designed to do, it holds my equipment securely and looks good doing it. It was easy to assemble and directions were almost fun. It is secure, which is both good and bad. It is difficult to move it once the equipment is on it.

This is a very strong and sturdy audio rack and a very fine quality piece of furniture.

I am sure glad I ordered the better ones from Crutchfield when I ordered the audio rack.

Space efficient solution

If space, versatility and some mobility is needed and if you have a heavy component or 2, this is a solution. Sturdy, simple to assemble and can be aesthetically neutral enough for most listening areas. I would recommend adding another shelf if you are 6ft and taller and if you have a need to move your system from time to time as I do, I would recommend getting the additional casters (which add an additional 2 inches to the height of the unit). The polymer wrap on the shelving looks and feels solid.

Pangea is a great audio rack. other than a paint chip

The assembly was super simple and easy to follow the diagram. The only issue was one of the metal support's powder coat chipped in 3 places, on the bottom edge, see photo. My fix was to apply some Rustolium. Other than that, it is super stable and well built. I would recommend this to anyone needing a audio rack that does not cost an arm and a leg.

Great Concept

Pros: Looks great, very functional, easy to put together very sturdy. Cons: it's veneer. 1 surface was marred, one corner was a little smashed. I put the bad shelves so that you can't see them. I would have given it a 5 star except for these issues.

The stand works for the purpose it was purchased. Quality is what I expected for the price. Assembly was easy and did not take long to complete. Wish the top shelf posts could be tightened more. Also, the foot spike caps to protect wood floors are worthless. Bought some "clear" furniture coasters instead, and they work great. It is pretty sturdy and worth the price paid. Shipping was fast.

All good on this stand except the spiked feet. I ended up putting thick chair pads under them, would not work on a LVP floor, the metal discs that are supposed to go under the pointed part of the feet slide out, would eventually slide out and damage the flooring.

Questionable quality but overall very nice

Overall these shelves look great and do their job which is not a difficult job to begin with. Price is OK, could be a bit lower. Ran into build problems first attempt because improperly crimped threaded fasteners caused gaps between shelves. Pangea USA did not answer my calls or emails. Crutchfield came to the rescue and arranged for replacement unit. Had it not been for Crutchfield enabling me to Frankenstein two units together this would not have worked out. Pangea needs to improve their customer service. Two shelves scratched due to sand/dirt inside box. The way pieces fit together during build permanently damages the parts. For example, X-Braces scratch each other's painted surfaces very easily. When mating legs together securely the shelves and legs get scratched. Incorporating plastic washers would fix this. Pangea claims this rack has a modular design; which is true. But that means users should be able to assemble it, then disassemble it, and reassemble it again securely. After building this I foresee problems with the "self-tapping" design of the legs. Should I ever disassemble it or try to alter its configuration later on it will no longer securely mate together because threaded fasteners are crimped to "cut" into the tapped legs which shaves away some of the metal to metal contact. Shelf laminations are well done (made in Taiwan).

I like the design and the construction was fairly easy. When assembled it is solid and stable. My one issue is the the bottom of the legs comes to a pin point and it scratches wood floors easily. There is a small penny sized piece to use for protection but the stand comes off them fairly easily so you have to be careful.

Great audio rack

Very well made and very easy to assemble. I only have about 80lbs of gear on the lower two shelves, but it's rock solid; there is zero movement. The spiked feet offer at least 1/2" of adjustment and are very easy to change. I bought the all black version and found no issues on any of the surfaces.
