I was sent the incorrect plant stand.  The one I received had an additional bar for hanging plants which I didn’t want or attach.  The directions were written in about size 5 font and were difficult to follow.  I finally just used the photo of the stand as a guide.  So, that part was meh.  However, the stand looks good on completion and holds a number of plants.  I have it in a covered area outside.  Will have to see how it holds up.
