Sefour XS100 DJ Stand Black

Awesome!

This looked like the perfect dj desk, but when I received it the box as well as the styrofoam supporting the pieces was in terrible condition. The directions was in the box but when ask to find A with B for example, there was nothing to signify that I had the correct piece. I had to use tons of wood glue to keep it up because those little lock and bolts just was not doing the job.

Okay, so let's get something straight - and maybe someone can comment under my review and perhaps enlighten me. Supposedly, I am told by "Guitar Center + Musician's Friend" (where I ordered the product)that the company is based in the United Kingdom, but has operations in the United States. Well, when you call Sefour's US support number - no one picks up the phone. In fact it goes to someone cell phone voicemail and does not even affirm that you are in fact calling the right number. Although I triple checked and this is the number listed on their corporate website. So definitely 0 stars for customer service from Sefour. Now on to the actual stand. The pieces of engineered wood/particle board style slabs are of mediocre quality. Because of this along with some really cheap quality packing (unusual from something that clearly says "MADE IN CHINA" on the box and ships to the USA) I received a couple of broken pieces. Dealing with Sefour's non-existent customer support and Guitar Center + Musician's Friend's unwillingness to help the situation and rather put me off to their off-site support department (I am getting communication from India) is a complete failure. After I was already given a commitment by an associate over the phone in which they stated they would mail me the defective parts so that I did not have to mail back this 80lbs workstation, I later received communication to please contact them for a RMA!?! It seems like the left hand does not know what the right is doing - which creates a result of very poor customer service. In all honesty, the reason that I did not give this item 1 star, is because of the price. For under $200, I looked around and did not see many options (unless of course you want to get something that is specifically not designed for the purpose of placing DJ equipment, like a table from IKEA). The table, due to the broken pieces does not feel as sturdy as it should. Having put together a good amount of engineer furniture before, I can say that the design of this workstation is extremely poor. Let me be clear - if you are not a handy person, you have no business buying this workstation. It comes with very minimal instructions which are further very vague. None of the pieces are labeled so you will spend some time figuring out which piece is being referenced in the one page instruction sheet. It seems that Sefour skimped on every aspect of the workstation that they possibly could. I was in fact interested in purchasing the much more expensive option $600 X-60, although I decided against it and ended up buying two separate items. I am glad that I did that, because I saved myself a lot of money and headache. Also, you should know that because the items ships internationally, the chances of you receiving broken pieces is quite high as the workstation is very poorly and improperly packaged. Also, in my experience, the retailers/e-tailers will simply try to put the problem off to UPS (saying it is their error and take it up with them)etc, and at the end of the day your only recourse will be to either ship the whole thing back (which is extremely inconvenient), or take a trip to the hardware store and but lots of super glue and tape beforehand. Again if you really like the design of the product, you will need to do some fixes to get it to work. Also, it does not sit level on the floor, it slightly wobbles, so you will have to get some hardware to adjust it on the bottom to stand straight. This I can only imagine is due to the mediocre quality of the wood and/or the non-exact nature of pins/cam bolts interfacing with each other.

Some of the worst instructions I have ever received for a DIY unit. I finally figured it out by building it, then unbuilding it and starting again. Most important bit of information in my opinion... the top slab goes on last. I like it.

Exclellent product albeit a tiny bit wobbly. Wish it could be dissasembled but once its together it will not break down easily and re assemble with ease. Great space, great design, perfect for battle style, perfect height. ALl in all a great purchase and excellent value for the price.

Awseome DJ Rack. This Sefour X10 is by far the best DJ rack I have owned, for the moeny it's great, It is very strong and when loaded with kit it is just the right height and really comfortable. I got the extra bracket that attaches neatly to the unit and racked up even more gear, it;s real strong. Also a neat feature is that you can rack your classic vinyl in the base part and above all else it looks awesome, go Sefour!

I fully agree with all the comments about how this is difficult to put together and the instructions arent real clear. There are updated instructions on their site, but they only offered a few more clues. It would be nice if Sefour would put up a "how to" video of how to put this thing together or better, clearer instructions. You have assemble it in parts. The bottom shelf and then the top shelf and then the brace. Then once you have that, it goes on it's side on one of the side pieces and you lock the cams. If you've ever put together some Ikea furntiure, you will likely be able to piece it together. I had to take the instructions from the box and the updated instructions from the Sefour site and try to play detective. It was a bit confusing, especially the top part. Dont be fooled by the picture here as the top part that your equipment goes in is not one solid piece. It's 3 pieces screwed together with cams, pins and dowls. The instructions aren;t real clear on how it goes together and it looks like you can mount it 2 different ways? There will be cams and pins left over. There are 4 screws and fasteners leftover and I assume these are to attach optional speaker mounts. The instructions do not talk about these 4 screws at all. The top, back panel has some spaces for cams, but no places for pins. I dont know if there is an optional piece that can mount there? Much like Ikea furntiure, I didnt think it would be sturdy, but once together, it was pretty sturdy! Looks great from a distance. You can place turntables in battle style or disco. I'm a pretty tall guy at 6'5 but this was actually the correct height for battle style. I can return to working on body tricks and juggles. =D In one picture they had a flight case sitting on the bottom shelf. I dont know if I would store a flight case there. It will hold records and other items. Moving this thing from house to house might not be ideal. If you've ever moved an Ikea Malms dresser, it will likely come apart if not handled correctly.

nice
