Solid piece of equipment, not too heavy, but you will need to use a speaker stand, panels.were a bit loose but we tighten them and all was good, SCREWS HAVE WASHERS ON BOTTOM, SO TIGHTEN WITH SCREW DRIVER HOLDING THE BOTTOM WASHER WHEN TIGHTENING, when tightening make sure pannels are alined, if anyone complains, is because they are not too serious about their equipmet, this is solid and well made, its not some flimsy shield, very affordable and well made. ...
