I love this stand.. It works in my kitchen.. the only problem I had was the bag that the hardware came in wasn't sealed off and it was loose in the box and of course, there was a hole in the box and we lost some of the screws..But we just went and bought the 2 we were missing and put it together.. works out great.

Looks nice. No assembly instructions, which is why I gave it four stars. I had my teenager assemble it, and it took him a couple of times to figure it out without having seen a picture even of it. And since we don't assemble a lot of things, it wasn't obvious that the round nut goes on the inside of the frame. I was hoping it would be heavier, but I guess it will be ok to handle my Big Berkey. I won't have a need to store five gallon water jugs on it, which would have helped with the weight issue. My Big Berkey has to sit further on one side since the round top is bigger than the Berkey.

Nice storage option for bottles and looks nice in place. We use 5 gallon jugs and a crock and we think it is great. One issue is that the jug spouts stick out and so putting the crock directly over them interferes with the valve of the crock. So, we had to set the crock off center, and we are trying different arrangements.

We did replace the bolts with nicer ones; and even now the whole thing does wiggle if you shake it. It seems solid enough to withstand people brushing against it, but don't expect it to handle a head on collision.

This made a great replacement for our old water cooler - I paired it with the Enviro stainless dispenser to make a system I could thoroughly clean. (Who knows what's growing in all those inaccessible"‹ corners and tubes on the electric versions?)
The shelf is very sturdy and has no problem supporting 5-gallon water jugs on our dispenser. My only complaint is that the angle of the lower shelves holds the bottles with water against the lids. Ours have the snap-on style lids, and they drip in that position. If I had screw-on lids, it probably would be fine, but I wish the stored bottles were a bit more upright.

Great for Mountain Valley 5 gallon glass water bottles! I wasn't sure if this stand would hold the extremely heavy full glass water bottles (about 60 lbs) but it does!! Have used for 3 full months. Works and looks great. Love the racks for extra water bottles. Although in our case, due to the weight of our glass bottles, we generally use these for empty containers only. Just be sure to tighten the bolts during assembly and this beautiful stand should have no problem. Our only wish - we live in earthquake prone California and would feel better if there was a higher lip around the top to help hold the water system. Very secure otherwise, so not a problem for everyday use with our porcelain crock and very heavy glass bottles.
