I can't find a working website. I need to replace a warped table top on a rack I bought from them several years ago. Thanks.

Their equipment racks were always on my wish list (the list that never gets shorter).
My Solid Steel racks do very well.
I've been using stand-mount speakers since 1990 [technically, in 1987, I had the little Bose 101, but I'm not counting that POS]. I've had stands of various persuasions. When I acquired the Totem Element Fire in the drop-dead gorgeous white, I knew (a) it was a keeper, and (b) I had to avoid ugly black-colored stands at all costs.I'm not going to name names, but most companies refused to budge from their stubborn black-only stance. Forget them. Billy Bags was one of the few who even fielded our calls about doing a stand in white. A couple days later, they came back, and said they could do either matte white or gloss white, and at no extra charge (versus matte steel). In addition, they also offered various silver-colored finishes. But as my Totem Fire was in gloss white, we went with a gloss white Billy Bags stand. Arriving in May 2014, it seamlessly blends with the speaker. And, it sounds fine, allowing the Fire to become the neutral, transparent, and self-effacing monitor it really is.
If you want to see more photos of the Fire and the accompanying Billy Bags stand, check out my Fire review here on AA. Each month, I still receive a couple of e-mails asking about the Fire. And just last month, someone inquired about the gloss-white Billy Bags stands.
I did not know about, and am saddened to hear about, Bill's and the company's demise.

Here is what happened to Bill's business. It is really sad. I own 3 of his custom racks/stands and had the pleasure of meeting him at his design shop.

That is sad. I've known of many small businessmen who passed shortly after selling their businesses, including my dad (plumbing). At least his purchaser kept their word.
FWIW, Audio Advisor has several decent looking racks for not crazy money.
This makes me sad. I liked his stuff.

Hey! I have a blog now: http://mancave-stereo.blogspot.com or "like" us at https://www.facebook.com/mancave.stereo
I am sure it doesn't bother Billy at all now after all is said and done.
very sad.
I haven't had good luck with racks except sanus.
