The plant stand is exactly what was shown and described.  It looks great in front of my picture window loaded with plants.  The shelves are strong enough to hold fairly large and heavy ceramic pots. The only thing that I would change would be to make it taller by 4-6 inches so more plants can fit in the lower shelves

Pros: Easy to assemble, looks nice, strong shelves
Cons: taller to hold taller plants and pots
