This is a beautiful plant stand. Very sturdy and the wood pieces are nice and heavy and feel good quality. It took me about 30 min to set up each stand, and didn't have and trouble making sure the shelves line up across the two stands. I did realize after I made the purchase that there are other listings on Wayfair that appear to be stands identical to this one, but I can only assume that this one was higher quality, thus the price. I'm very happy with this purchase.
