I almost didn’t purchase them because of some of the other comments but I’m glad I did! Sooooo easy to assemble literally just twist them together! You don’t need any tools and they look great and perfect size.Unfortunately, I opened the second box of this order more than a month after it arrived. I assumed since the first box was OK when I opened and checked it, the second order would be correct and I set both boxes aside for a wedding this weekend.I opened the second box tonight to discover it DID NOT contain 10 Centerpiece Stands as advertised. Rather it contained 4 bottoms, 6 tops, and no parts to assemble it. I paid for a NEW product, but instead received these in a bag marked “Thanks to you, this product has a second life.”So I wound up with someone’s return that has less than half the pieces, no assembly parts and now is TOTALLY UNUSABLE to me.I should have opened the box when it arrived. However, I did speak with Amazon this evening and they made it right with my account. Thank you. Unfortunately, I don’t have what I need to make things work for this weekend.A cautious word to the wise…open your boxes right away and count the pieces.I'm very pleased with these stands. They are a good size, allowing you to make the overall centerpiece appear large or small based on how you create the actual arrangement. The first time I used them, I made the arrangement on the smaller size, playing through the vertical bars and the top crossbar. Larger arrangements could easily be achieved, with an overhanging effect. Assembly was easy, but its a little tedious to get the center nut tightened enough so that it doesn't loosen while your constantly turning the stand to create the arrangement. Make sure you tighten it very well before you start, otherwise you wont be able to get to both sides of the bolt without deconstructing the arrangement. The gold coating is consistent over the entire piece. Will likely order more.One of the Nuptio gold centerpieces had a broken metal part & the base of another one was bent and not round. I have pics if needed to confirmBuying these as wedding centerpieces but when I opened them I noticed one of them was bent. I Absolutely love the color, the height, and material, just wish they had better quality check before sending them out. The box itself was not bent nor damaged, and they were in bubble wrap so it was obviously defective before it was shipped out. Will be requesting replacements.*update*Requested an exchange and one of them also came bent AND looked used! It’s had green foam stuff in the inside like someone had used it and returned it! I supposedly bought new ones and don’t know why they would send me used! Very disappointedDecided to go with this stand for my baby shower. They are beautiful and elegant.These placement centerpieces worked beautifully for a dinner party. The circular part is 8” on both sides and fit a 7-8” wet foam pan that I spray painted gold to match the hardware. It was really easy to assemble and the floral arrangement created weight to hold the centerpiece still. They looked amazing!The design is cute i ordered 20 for a party and some were bent and 2 were defective from the screws were you put together the two pieces. It's nice but diaposable, not durable or commercial grade at all
