There are a lot of component parts to this stand and, it's not particularly easy to follow the instructions on which part is which. The parts are numbered on the instruction leaflet,  however you have to measure them to know which part refers to what number. Some parts are incorrectly numbered (e.g.screw e1 was not e1, which made putting together a challenge and there was a piece missing) 2 of the holes for the glass shelf holders were too small and I had to make them bigger. Assembling this item is not for the faint hearted. I did manage to assemble it, it is very nice,  but I wouldn't do this again.
