The stand is sturdy and what I was hoping to get.  However, you need to have a drill handy because the holes do not line up for the steel bars.  Also, some of the holes were not drilled deep enough.  The instructions are lousy at best, and do not clearly show what needs to be done.  All the parts are numbered, but no numbers are used on the chart to put it together.  For $200, I'm really unimpressed with the quality of work on this product.
