This was a wonderful addition to my home and my plants now have a sturdy place to grow and blossom!  Assembly took about 45 minutes total and instructions were easy to follow.  Wood pieces were nicely stained in a walnut color, matching perfectly with my existing furniture.   Once all the bolts were tightened, the plant stand was very solid, holding up the 5 plants without fail!  Definitely worth the money paid for this nice-looking plant stand!
