This is an absolutely gorgeous plant stand. It was kind of a bear to put together because the holes are underneath when screwing in the screws. I spent quite a bit of time routing the lights now the stem so that you could not see the light wires. So when I was done the only thing you saw was the actual stand and not all the wires. The instructions were ease to understand and the pictures with the instructions were super helpful. The lights are ok. They come with varying lighting levels. I was able to store 8 plants on this stand 9 if you include the hanger. I was even able to store all my plant supplies underneath the stand. It is super tall. It is sturdy too. It stores a lot.
