Okay, so I think the stand looks good and the instructions were pretty simple and straightforward. My only qualm is that the slots where the different bars would fit in to screw the pieces together werent cut wide enough on several of the pieces. Basically near half of the bars are partly wedged outside of the slot it is supposed to fit into. This creates a slight curve or offness with the way the legs stand, but they still stand and with plants on it you wouldnt notice at all. It's more of the principle of spending money on something that is relatively simple and there being issues with the opening not being big enough. Otherwise, I'd give it 5 stars. Looks nice, that pitcher plant is about 5 to 10 lbs and sits just fine without any bending of the platform underneath. I'd buy it if you want something that looks nice, does its job, and is cheaper than other types of wooden stands.
