As discussed, there are some indoor plant stands that need to be assembled, and they tend to be less expensive than those that are already built. The amount of time it will take to assemble an indoor plant stand varies and depends on the specific model that you choose. If you intend on purchasing an indoor plant stand that needs to be assembled, consider how many pieces it comes in and what will be involved with assembly (read through reviews, for example) to get an idea regarding how much work will be required to put it together.
