Received my new plant stand in less than 10 days; box was as to be expected due to handling.

Like other reviewers stated, the stand is a little wobbly. Not recommended if being placed near open window or somewhere it could be exposed to wind and potentially fall. I'm sure it's fine if it's being held in place with additional weight from decorations but be warned.

Visually, the curved design is a wonderful touch if attempting to jazz up living space. Wood both looked and smelt fine upon unboxing; nothing unusual to mention. Suggestion to wipe everything down after assembly.

Overall, very satisfied with shelf. Looking forward to many years enjoying this statement piece
