Shipping & UnboxingShipping was fast. The product arrived in pieces that you have to screw together. The review that says it does not come with instructions is correct but also inaccurate. The instructions are not in the box, but they are in the product description on Amazon. I’ve included them in this review to make it easier. Look at the pictures.During assembly it’s easier if you make the two rectangular frames using the [ shaped pieces to connect to the long pieces first. Then use the straight short pieces, with the screws on the ends, to screw these 2 rectangles together. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver and a small rubber mallet. Do not use a hammer as the instructions suggest. The mallet will allow you to gently tap the pieces down into the holes, without bending or marring the metal. Remember to keep the long poles with the butterfly screws diagonal from each other. And be sure to keep the butterfly screws on the inside of the rectangle for aesthetics. And wallah! You have a pretty sturdy and attractive flower stand.DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY OF YOUR EVENT TO PUT THE STANDS TOGETHER IN CASE YOU RUN INTO PROBLEMS.I put these together the day they arrived and my event is 4 months from now! You want to ensure you have all of the pieces, that they are all in good shape and fit together. I had one screw that was painted over and was tough to unscrew, one pole with a hole that was too small to fit the bracket shaped piece into (I fixed this by bending the opening a little with the screwdriver to make it wider), and one missing bracket shaped piece. I was able to contact them and rectify this pretty quickly so no problem there. But if I had waited until the day of the event, this would have been unfixable.QualityThe pieces are decent size and weight. They do not bend easily. I put them together by myself with just a screwdriver and rubber mallet. I was able to use the mallet and screwdriver to make them stable and not leaning. See pics. They are pretty sturdy. I love them and I can’t wait to use them. I will update this review with more pictures after I use them.
