I needed something that would prevent my vacuum cleaner from falling without making holes in the walls (I rent a small but fancy apartment). I'm not a practical person at all, but I had no problem assembling this stand and mounting the vacuum cleaner on it. It's very compact so it fits nicely in a corner or in my utility cupboard and is great for keeping all my Dyson accessories in one place. I also appreciate that the seller messaged me to make sure I have all the little screws and parts to assemble!
