This is an okay purchase. Directions clearly show it's supposed to have a couple of bolts that screw in to the parts. However, I only had to twist the 3 parts together. But, I thought I was missing the bolts and an Allen wrench to tighten them. Directions aren't correct for the item. As far as the item itself, I thought it would be a heavier base according to the reviews  it's okay and probably no worse than all the others but I can't give it 5 stars.
