This is exactly what I was looking for. In reading other reviews it was noted that is was hard to assemble and when screwing together the branch split. Before I assemble the bases to the branch I prescrewed in the screws to the branch. While there were somewhat hard to screw it I did it slowly and was able to get them in without splitting the branch. It made it so much easier to assemble to the bases since the screws had been pre-screwed - had no trouble what so ever assembling.

I was nervous to purchase these shelves after I saw the price and the mix of reviews, but decided to risk it. I was so happy I did! I used these to display my cookie table at my wedding and they worked perfectly. Coincidentally my family owns a Christmas tree farm and we are now going to use them in the gift barn to display crafts we sell. They were generally easy to set up and very high craftmanship. They worked perfect for us. I would purchase again.

I got this because it was different than all the others ! I love how it have two levels ! Great for hosting. I’ve used it for cheese and crackers , grapes, but also can put anything you want on it I also put pizza on it’s. It’s good quality and easy to clean! Highly recommend it

What an interesting product. We purchased several of these. They look so real.The two circular pieces are connected to each other by a single "stick". You will need to use the included hex wrench to screw them together. If you have weak hands/fingers, it may be a challenge for you to screw them together. Once they are connected together, it is a solid fit, and the top platform does not move or bend downward. I would not put anything heavy on the top part other than your cheese/crackers and light weight items. Regardless, it is very sturdy and we felt very comfortable putting items on the base and top level.The only one item to mention is that the "stick" has a pre-drilled holes at each end. Just don't over-tighten the screws when screwing the two bases together.On our several orders, one of the bases was missing a leg. Unfortunately, the seller can't just send you a replacement leg, have to return the entire product, so we just kept what we had - wasn't worth the effort to return.Overall, nice product!!.

I hesitated on buying this for a bridal shower I will be hosting in a couple weeks. I needed two of them, and didn't want to be out $60. I read the reviews and a lot of people noted that it broke during assembly. My husband is pretty handy and decided that the price was worth the risk. We got them in and he assembled them with the provided hardware. The only thing he did was hand screw, and slowly. They are super cute, and seem to be pretty sturdy. Better quality than I expected. Would definitely purchase again!

I have gotten this product twice now. Both times it did not assemble correctly. First tine it was shipped to me with a cracked stick. Second time, it was packaged correctly, but the screw holes were too small and you crack it yourself during assembly. I give up. Best to skip this type of product.

Good size assembly may be a bit complicated but the final result is good

This product arrived on time and was packaged well. The top and bottom wooden shelves are sturdy. However the tiny branch that's supposed to screw in between the top and bottom plate was crooked, the holes were poorly predrilled and not at a straight angle, and the wood was so skinny/thin/flimsy I'm not sure even if it had been predrilled correctly if it would have supported the top wooden shelf. You get two screws and an alan wrench to assemble. However, because there is little to no predrilling, it's nearly impossible to use a hand turn alan wrench on these screws into the hardwood. Finally gave up and used my drillbit but then because the hole was predrilled sideways into the little branch, the screw went out the side of the branch, the branch cracked and would not support the upper shelf. Very poor quality of that middle branch piece, poor quality predrilling and disappointing. I'm using the top and bottom shelf separately now, but it's not at all what I'd hoped for.

Presently will be using it as a Centerpiece to place my Christmas Gnomes on it and also using it as a meat and cheese board. Will have many uses for it but mostly will be my kitchen table centerpiece for 2 dimensional flowers or other decorations.

I got a deal on mine because it was a return with a " cracked twig " as other reviewers have stated. I kept it and repaired the damage. Put it together gently, with no power tools and you will be satisfied. I am giving this 5 stars because I believe the Product is of great quality and the manufacturer can not be responsible for how much torque is applied to a thin piece of delicate wood.

All my guests fell in love its quality and would recommend it

So glad I purchased this. It will be used again and again.

I really wanted to love this piece and the serving plates themselves are lovely, but the piece of "bark" that holds them together is an absolute nightmare. For starters every time you touch it the material starts to crumble creating an awful mess. That in it of itself could have been overcome were it not for the impossible assembly procedure. You are given two screws and an allen key, but as other buyers have mentioned screwing into the supporting "bark" is next to impossible because it is curved and the holes have not been pre-drilled. Using a drill is not very effective either unless you have tools to clamp down both pieces, which I did not. I couldn't even disassemble the partly attached arm owing to these difficulties. Simply providing an allen key and asking people to put it together with just that one tool is laughable. Have returned and really wished the manufacturers had pre-drilled holes with anchors.
