The design is good but the inferior parts make assembly incredibly frustrating.  The screws and the L-shaped hand crank wore out quickly which means there is no grip to tighten the screws. I had to resort to using a plier/clamp.  One back panel is broken. And there are holes that were haphazardly pre-drilled (and remember, I’m tightening everything by hand at this point). At the end, the tree is incredibly wobbly. I would NOT recommend this product. The idea is there, just the cheap parts ruined an otherwise beautiful design.
