This banner stand is super easy to put together. Unfortunately the bag it came with was torn at the seams, but I sewed it together since I didn't want to return it. The plastic knobs for the stand were cracked and there were pieces in the box when it arrived. Fortunately it did not affect the assembly of the stand and it isn't too noticeable. Not sure if problem was from manufacture or shipper but it was a little disappointing at first to have to deal with problems. I do love the stand though and use it for both banners and photography. Great investment and I know i'll use it for many purposed.
