I like that this plant stand has lots of shelves and lets in maximum light. The shelves are also tall with plenty of room for plants to grow. Don't let the pile of sticks overwhelm you! First, organize all the parts into individual stacks and start assembling according to the steps in the guide (Step 1, Step 2, etc.). First you need to build the base! Assembling is not possible if you start somewhere else (e.g. on the sides). Then from that moment everything goes upwards. It's pretty easy. And its modular structure allows you to change the design I made by moving the 4th layer to the center. There are a few gifts and tools included that weren't even advertised, so it was a pleasant surprise. I have a lot of pottery here and it seems pretty sturdy so I'm not afraid of it falling off. I think the price justifies the quality of this stand. I'm glad I found it.
