The stand is very pretty and seems to be pretty sturdy. I have 6 different succulents in medium sized pots that are currently sitting on it and I don’t see any major structural issues. It was a little difficult to put together because some of the holes were not lining up exactly, but I finally did it solo in about 1.5 hours. A couple of the slats were not completely staples down, but they don’t affect the structure so I’m not worried about it. Overall, I’m happy with it!
