The Salamander A5/M is an attractive and very solidly constructed piece of AV furniture. It's true that you need to level each of the shelves but this requirement is more than offset by the infinitely adjustable nature of shelf height meaning that equipment of nearly any size can be accommodated.

The unit is quite stable although I suspect that if someone has spent tens of thousands of dollars on a stereo setup, he or she will want to spend many thousands more on housing that equipment. For the rest of us, the Salamander will keep equipment steady, level, and relatively vibration free. I do feel as though this unit is as tall as I would want to go. It's a simple law of physics that the taller the structure, the less stable it will be. I'd guess that the three and four shelf units are even more stable than this one.

Compared to the terribly expensive racks that dominate the high-end of this market, the Salamander is a terrific value, and a great addition to anyone's home.
