I bought two of the pedestal plant stands, and they are smaller than you would think.  One of them was fine, and I assembled it quickly and with no problems.  The second stand's top was defective, though, and I will need to return it.  There is a piece of wood into which you screw the leg, and it is only glued to the table top.  On the second table, the piece of wood was not attached at all when the package arrived, but you could see where the glue had been that had given way.  I would have thought all of the pieces would have been put together with screws, which would have eliminated this problem.  Given that part of the table is just glued together, I would not put a heavy plant on it.
