I assembled these myself. Visual directions (shows where shelf 5 goes, etc) was good. Identifying the parts to their list sucked. The screws were hard to discern one from another. I hoped I put the right one in the right spot. I even counted to make sure; no luck. It took me a couple of hours for one assemble (you get two- like a left and right). The hardest to connect was the ones connecting the stand to the bottom shelf. UGH! I am not sure why they said to attach the feet last, but while i could easily attach to the bottom, they went first. Never impacted the rest of the assembly. Those sticky covers to cover the screw heads need to be a little larger . Took me several attempts to get it centered because it is just enough. It seems to be sturdy. I like the space allowed for the plants. Over all assessment with the pros minus the cons: probably 75/25 with 75 on the plus side.
