The “fragile” stamp is definitely not something that was considered. For the price this stand is listed for they should at least send one that isn’t damaged in all different areas as seen in the photos attached. Putting it together was a slight task just make sure you have a power tool and a hammer. Without that it will be a headache. The instructions were a bit vague but you can still kind of figure it out as you move along. Overall, I like the way it looks but I can tell you that if I ever move I don’t believe this will make it to the next destination simply because the overall quality of it is low and would most likely fall apart. If you’re on a budget this may be for you, if you’re in your first home and you’re trying to build a decent living area...keep looking.
