I ordered both base and stand with 4 shelves to create a whole. I contacted SANUS and asked about the double ended screws used, knowing it would take a little longer with my planning. Sending a rough drawing representing my intentions got a good response from Cathy but unfortunately she wasn't sure about my needs. She advised me to contact her customer service, which wasn't necessary as the base came first, and I simply took one of the double ended screws to my local hardware and hardware store and purchased the required item, a 1/4 inch threaded rod. . They were only 285mm long, bought in pairs, brought home, cut in half, screwed into the insides of two bases, the shelf came into existence after purchasing the threaded rods. I now have what is pictured (sorry for the darkness): 2 open pedestals holding a Yamaha CX-A5200 and MX-A52000 along with an Aircom T10 above, and 3 shelves for my remaining AV gear. Can not be. no longer happy with these things from SANUS. The carrying capacity, strength, ease of installation and overall appearance make it easy to get a 5 star rating from me. If you're hesitant about a media stand or even a base unit, just jump in and give your wallet some breathing room by removing a few bucks.
