Using TV Stands for studio monitors

Has anyone here used one of these stands for mounting a speaker?
I've been having a hard time finding cantilever stands that can fit behind my desk, the cheapest option I've found is in the thousand dollar range.
I was originally going to make my own but this is much cheaper and doesn't take time.

If the speaker ends up being too unbalanced I plan to make marble or granite bases and I might just do it for acoustic purposes anyways.

I definitely can't be the only one here that's thought of this so I'm just wondering what anyone thinks first.
 
I haven't, but that is pretty clever.

My original stands were home made out of lumber screwed and glued so I could fill them with sand. Turns out I didn't need all that much sand to make them stay put.

Last summer I picked up a pair of tube traps as part of a package from a local studio that was relocating. Didn't really think I'd need/use them, so I tried them as monitor stands, and to say they made a difference would be an understatement.

In fact that seems to be, in my space anyway, the optimal use if you have only two.

I will be picking up a second pair for my near field monitors, and yeah, I expect great things from them - usually a not-so-good sign :}
