I noticed other reviewers complaining that it is difficult to put together.  Typically I ignore complaints like that because it usually comes down to the individual's ability to follow the instructions and not the fault of the product itself.  In this case, I wouldn't say it is hard to put together, but the drill holes are too big for the screws included.  I had to get some larger self-tapping metal screws to assemble it.  Once together, the legs were uneven and had to be bent for the stand to sit level.  Once you get past all of that it is a nice looking plant stand.  If you are not willing or able to make modifications to the stand to make it work, I would avoid it.
