I purchased this for our large touchscreen monitor at our office. The package was quite heavy, but that definitely reinforced my confidence in its stability. Opening the package, it had familiar pieces and tool configurations. The instructions do mention you will need a Phillips head screwdriver, but one of the included Allen wrenches does have a Philips head on one of its ends. You could probably do all you need with that, but it might be more convenient to use your own screwdriver or drill.The instructions were intuitive and did a great job of taking you through each step. They also started with the size check, to make sure your screen actually fits the sizing required for the stand.It took me about 30 minutes to assemble it by myself, from getting the package to completion. I am easily distracted, so it might take a more focused person more like 20 minutes.The finished product looks great and is sturdy as heck. The touchscreen monitor I hung on it is 157 pounds, and it had no issues holding that weight.The only thing that wasn't perfect, and this was user error, but there is a joint in the vertical stand frame bars that you have to connect. It has a cover to cover up the screws, but I missed that in the instructions. So my bad, but it still looks great and now my co-workers will have to be careful around the screws, which I sharpened.Just kidding. I am not a monster.Anyway, I highly recommend this stand, especially if you cannot hang monitors on your office space walls.
