Isolation Platform from Timber Nation

I ALSO sent two detailed letters to them asking if they could build a media rack to order (for DVD's- i have limited space for a store-bought model). i gave the number of shelves, height, width, and asked if they would be interested in manufacturing it- no hurry, just could they do it. no response. at least say "no thanks" or "not at this time", but i got nothing from them. i sure like their equipment racks, though. but i also like the SAMSON racks from Mapleshade. very expensive but i am sure they would try to respond.

I too had an issue. I ended up purchasing some 1 3/4" laminated maple work bench material from Grizzly Industrial and cut my own.

Their wood platforms are fine for what they are, but don't call them "isolation platforms" because they aren't. A wood platform is basically a tuning device that affects the sound of whatever is on it, for better or worse. I used my 3" maple platform from Timbernation for a while as a turntable mounting platform and as an amp stand, but eventually concluded it was just too colored. That's not a knock on Timbernation, it just reflects the nature of the product. It will work fine for some people in some applications, but not so well for others.

how long ago did any of you have these problems?
I am currently considering using him to build a rack
thank you

I ordered a custom rack from Timber Nation in late Sept. 2011. The unit arrived in California in under two weeks, was extremely well packed and was just perfect. Chris communicated with me by phone and email (as often as was necessary) during the process.

I would order from him again in a heartbeat.
