Definitely a great purchase. No regrets. Took me about 30 mins to assemble

I was originally reluctant to buy this product because many of the reviews mentioned the assembly to be a real pain, but I liked the price and how it looked, (especially from pictures other reviewers posted), so I decided to try it and I am very satisfied with this product.

Great size, especially for the price & it doesn't look tacky. The way the little plastic connectors blend in with the color of the wood is a really nice touch. I honestly would have been okay with the plastic pieces being white/black or just obviously a piece of plastic, as I care more about functionality than looks, so that's a nice detail.

It's very lightweight and it's easy to move around without becoming flimsy or wobbly. If it does, then your plastic connectors are probably not fully snug.

Definitely use the gloves that come with this product during assembly for a couple reason. My main reason for using them is to protect yourself from potential splinters, not that I got any during the assembly, but this product is made of wood and you're required to hammer each piece into its corresponding connections, so therefore, potential for splinters. Just a safety precaution.

Also, the gloves are kind of mesh like (in a sense) so some of the black stuff still got my hands during the assembly process, but it easily washed away with soap and water. I did notice a faint lingering smell on my hands that went away in about an hour (smell was from how wood was treated, normal & expected), but I would suggest also using disposable gloves in addition to the gloves that come with this product if concerned or sensitive to smells.
The other reason for the gloves is to protect your hands from getting black and dirty (due to how wood was treated).

This took me about 30 mins to put together. Incredibly faster than I was anticipating as many of the reviews mentioned the assembly process to be a pain and take a long time. Product comes with a little mallet hammer that works well for for this assembly. I thought I might need to use a more heavy duty mallet or hammer but I did not, what came with this was perfect. I was weary the fact this product only uses plastic connectors instead of a screw but it's sturdier than expected. Definitely took way less time to assemble than any kind of allen wrench screw assembly. This was not stressful to put together.

My advice for assembling, first make sure the plastic connectors are oriented correctly, because once you get those little connectors snug with the wood, it'll be very difficult to take off. (Picture)

Also, because you're required to use the mallet to hammer each piece snug into place, I highly suggest attaching both sides of shelves before hammering tightly in place. And if connectors don't connect, the plastic piece is not snug enough on the wood. This is not difficult to assembly nor does it take a long time, if you struggle, it's very likely you didn't hammer the wood into the connector far enough.

Also would like to mention, this product comes with 3 extra wood pieces (small, medium, large) and 2 extra plastic connectors- I did not need them but I'm assuming they're included in the event one of the wood pieces or connectors splits/breaks during assembly.

It's a great size and I'm very happy with this product, especially for the price! I can't comment on it's longevity as I have not had this very long, nor can I say much about the weight limits, but it's much more supportive/sturdy than expected! (See picture with plants)

Worth mentioning that the picture with the plants, all the planters are made of terracotta, ceramic and the 2 small brown are plastic. So that's a good amount of weight in total being placed in this product. Unit does not sway or feel wonky with plants, surprisingly doesn't seem wonky without plants too (even with 15 mph wind in Texas according to the weatherman).

I probably have too much weight in total being used on this product but it's holding strong. I ended up buying a second one because I liked it so much. I would definitely recommend this product.

If you're looking for something bigger and for heavier plants, or even just expanding after this, I would suggest looking at heftier and larger products, note with that, comes a higher price tag, but otherwise, this product is a solid purchase, 5 stars. 5 stars especially because the product description tells you everything without any surprises.

Hope this review helps you!

I put it together based solely on the pictures, the cross bars didn't align with the shelves, I used the wrong connections.

I am bringing my outside plants inside for the winter and needed somewhere to put them.

Very easy to put together. Took maybe 5-10 minutes. The pieces seem high quality and sturdy. Honestly, I couldn't believe it was so cheap! The color is really nice and it appears incredibly stable. If you see the photo I took you may notice the plants on top are large and heavy. It's holding up great so far. My husband even shook the entire stand after the plants were on it to see if it was sturdy enough. I personally wouldn't test it like that but it did hold up well. I love how all my plants can be together in one window now as we don't have many windows that get solid sunlight during the day. I added fairy lights to it as I'm trying to create a peaceful garden feel in our room to help promote quality sleep before bed. Honestly, this plant stand is way better than I had hoped for.

I wasn't sure if I was making a mistake buying this, but I'm happy to say that it wasn't a mistake!
I watched the video and put it together with a few minor set backs because I wasn't paying attention.
The little gardening tools are a cute touch!
I knocked off a star because it splintered a little bit when I was putting it together.
I'm so pleased with it overall that I ordered another one in a different configuration!
People who are complaining about it being lightweight... What do you expect for the low cost?
This does exactly what I need it to do... Gives me a place to put some beautiful plants in my home. I also bought a grow light because I have this in a darker part of my front room. It's going to look amazing!
As you can tell, I messed up on a direction of a couple of the shelves, or was it intentional, lol

My hubby said it was a lot of pieces to put together, but he survived the struggle bus. Once the wood planks are placed on, it's really easy to take apart and put together when you need to transport it. It's a pretty color and holds my plants pretty decently when my cats aren't in zoomie mode
