I think this is a beautiful stand, however it’s lacking in quality. The paint chips terribly and the screw at the bottom will not stay tightened so it leans a bit, but not too noticeable. It’s annoying to have to take things off to retighten it occasionally. I’m keeping it since I got it on sale. If I had paid full price I would be sadly returning. I’m using it for a coffee/tea station. Make sure you check measurements before buying. There are 6 inches between tiers so most canisters or teapots won’t fit.
