Know before you buy

Each shelf is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds, making it suitable for most heavy-duty audio components, amplifiers, and turntables.
Yes, the Archetype system is infinitely adjustable. You can slide the shelf up or down the threaded rods to accommodate components of varying heights.
The natural walnut finish is consistent across the Archetype line. However, if your existing shelves have been exposed to direct sunlight for many years, there may be slight variations in color due to the natural aging of the wood.
You generally do not need specialized tools. The shelf is designed to be installed by sliding it onto the existing threaded rods and securing it with the provided hardware included with the shelf kit.
