​Why Custom Stands?
Stands are not easy to find apart from eBay and some HiFi shops. eBay sells mostly metal stands - nothing spectacular to look at, plus there's the hollow column issue - meaning you need to fill them with sand etc. There are a few MDF ones - but they look tacky. Solid wood ones? Overseas and overpriced. So you hope you can get one which is approximately the height you want - close enough is good enough right? No, you want the tweeter in your speakers to be at your ear height when you sit down - that's why you need custom made. Choose your height.  

Enter Alton - Solid Wood
Alton is the brand name for custom made bookshelf speaker stands from Melbourne.
Unlike some wood speaker stands available, Alton stands are not made from MDF (the kind of artificial wood you get with most Ikea furniture), but from premium pine. Each surface has been dressed smooth and all edges have been machined to rounded corners.

Functional
Made from thick, solid wood, there are no hollow parts that will reverberate, affecting the sound produced from your speakers.  Fine details such as stick-on fabric protectors on the top shelf to prevent scratches to your speaker. To finish it off, the stands are fixed with premium spikes to increase stability and reduce vibration caused by low frequencies, in order to achieve accurate and punchy bass.

Elegant & Unique
Aesthetically pleasing even in its natural form, you do have the choice of stain finish to complement your particular decor.
Each stand is hand-made and not mass factory produced, meaning that even in pairs, you will see slight variations, such as the grain pattern, knots, tone, shape, and other features of solid wood. These differences mean that you will own something that is completely unique that you can be proud of and show off to your friends.
