The product is great. So much so, that I just ordered a second. It's good-looking and sturdy and holds a pretty heavy plant and container. BUT ... the instructions are absolutely AWFUL (therefore the 3 stars). Fortunately, I've put enough things together that I finally ripped them up and used my common sense. If not, I'd still be working on it two days later! Get rid of the instructions or it will be a lesson in futility!!!
