I want to love this 3-tiered stand, but it has some issues. The biggest one being that the first one I received would not screw all the way into the base due to manufacturing imperfections! Wayfair was fabulous and sent me a replacement promptly, but the replacement had issues as well. The top pole was not long enough to screw into the top level. It was a hot mess. I ended up using a combo of pieces from both sets and made it work. However, as other reviewers have mentioned, it is crooked when assembled! Very frustrating, especially since I am extremely OCD about such things. When it is filled with things, you tend to not notice quite so much. I definitely wish it were level, but I am not going to return it at this point. I am going to enjoy putting seasonal decor items in it as the holidays come along!
