We have several plants, all of which need the morning to early afternoon sun. I problem was how to get them in our window without putting shelves up. When I saw this plant stand it was the right size and could support several plants of various sizes. It was very easy to assemble - the tool supplied was female friendly.  I used the picture more than the written directions (I tend to be a visual person). When complete and populated with my plants: my husband complemented how well it put our triple window; the plants are growing well and appear “happy”; and several of our friends have asked where did I find such a perfect place for all of my plants? I am very satisfied with my purchase and. Highly recommend it for style, function, ease of assembly, and price.
