Quality Construction

Solid shelves deliver the strength and timeless beauty of genuine, American hardwoods or black MDF (medium density fiberboard). MDF is commonly used in acoustics for its strength, stability, and anti-resonant characteristics. Threaded rods and shelf clamping fasteners provide infinite vertical adjustability and exceptional strength.

Perfect solution

Wanted an unobtrusive rack to hold some AV components. The Salamander shelving was perfect for my application. It sits on a Spanish tiled floor that has natural irregularities. The nut and bolt shelf mounting design allows all four feet to be firmly on the floor and with some minor adjustments ensure that each shelf is perfectly level. It is a simple and cleverly designed piece of furniture—modern and simultaneously invisible, showcasing the system components. Very pleased with this unit.

World Wide Stereo Store

Wanted something simple but solid for organizing the components of a home theater system. Planning to place center speaker on the top shelf; blu-ray player, av receiver, power management on shelves below (leaves one shelf for a future component). Checked with a product specialist about the advisability of placing a speaker on a rack with other electronic components (worried about possible vibration complications) and was told it wouldn't be a problem. Height perfect for center speaker placement.

Are casters available for these units? Also, is this available with deeper shelves? 16' depth is rather shallow for many audio components.

Jeff F on Aug 15, 2021

Thanks for your inquiry. Archetype Saturn Casters are available for the Archetype units. https://www.salamanderdesigns.com/accessories/archetype-saturn-casters/ Note that casters present a tip-over risk.
Archetype shelves are not available in larger depths.

Can I store vinyl records in the bottom shelf?

A shopper on Jun 20, 2020

Thanks for your question. The Archetype 5.0 has fully adjustable shelves. After installing the bottom shelf, the next shelf can be installed with enough space to accommodate records on the bottom shelf. The unit comes with easy to follow instructions.
