This target stand is all it needs to be. For the cost its great. Even if you have a welder, and the angle stock, you couldn't make this cheaper with the quality that you get with this. The welds are great, the finish is great and the clamp is sufficient. Also there is a built in stop to keep the cross pieces from separating. The value is here. Remember the 1x2's should be the finished 1x2's. The unfinished will not fit the sockets. I used Elmers 3/16 foam poster board cut to size and large paper clamps to attach to the 1x2 uprights. very sturdy. Also you can buy pre-cut wood shims to slide in next to the uprights to provide a bit more stability. oh yeah, there are 4 steak holes in the base that would help with wind. I do a lot of shooting in the desert so I use sand bags because it would be difficult to pound a steak in the desert where I am.

Good target holder. No need for instructions. I bought 2 to add to a 200yd personal range. I picked out 4 (and 2 spare) 8'-1"x2" straight (hand picked) boards, marked off 24" and chopped all at once with a chop saw. Inside the pockets for boards, are 2 pieces of metal, that pinch the 1x2's.
Push one side of the end of each board, and stick a straight blade screwdriver under the other pincher, bend it out, and the 1x2 pushes right in. take one piece of your 1x2 cut-off piece, and nail it (small nails or split) accross the BACK of the tops of the installed, 6' 1x2's. Using the length of the cut-off pieces, I adjusted the bottom width to the same, and it worked perfectly. I bought some rectangular pre-cut cardboard, (24"x36" )
and a roll of white police sillouets,(sp?)and stapled away. One small problem was one of the spinner screws to hold the boards tight was pushed through. No prob. Homey Dee. I guess I lucked out and got the last one for $19, shopped around for the 2nd, and they were $30ish elsewhere, and i went back to the same item on Amazon/Whole Foods, and it was re-priced at $30ish.
