If your expectations are correct, these are great!ARRIVAL:Delivered a day sooner than expected, boxed up and individually wrapped in some plastic, which helps with noise, and to avoid scratching.All 44 rods are packaged two to a bag, and each square base has it's own. There are no instructions, but there really don't need to be--it is completely self-explanatory.ASSEMBLY:Be prepared with some standard needle-nose pliers. The reviews talking about how these don't fit together are soooort of true. When they cut the thinnish metal, it's natural that it would cause a little bit of bowing on the sides. You will need to use a pair of pliers to straighten them out.Once you've done that, you're good to go and they work like a charm. It actually helps that the fittings aren't overly large because the tension keeps them from rattling and it also keeps them nice and sturdy.I'm pretty crafty and handy so things like this don't bother me. Working alone, I personally straightened out the ends of 4 rods at a time and then put it fully together with it's two bases before moving on to the next one and it took me a little more than an hour to assemble all 11.ASSEMBLED PRODUCT:They are very sturdy once they're set up. I said this above, but the fact that they're nice and snug and a little hard to get in place has the benefit of making them feel quite solid. You can see in my video that I can pick them up from one end and they stay totally together, the pieces aren't slipping out of place.These are definitely something you'd want to put together before hand. They're not really meant to be put together and taken apart super easily, so give yourself time to get them put together.CONCLUSIONOverall, you'd be paying upwards of $30 each for something like this anywhere else, and these really are very nice and sturdy. It's a great deal, even with the cost of the elbow grease, just as long as you know what you're getting. Enjoy!
