Using these stands is a piece of cake. First, find a flat surface to place the stands. Then, use the included Phillips screwdriver, screws, and washers to assemble them following the instructions in the documentation. Once assembled, place your Sonos Era 300 speakers on the stands. Make sure they are seated securely. When it comes to maintenance, keep the stands clean by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. Also, don't place heavy objects on the stands as it could affect their stability. And if you move the stands, handle them gently to prevent any damage to the speakers or the stands themselves.
