Using these flower stands is a breeze. First, gather all the parts from the bag that comes with the stands. Then, follow the included instructions to assemble the stands. It's easy, so don't worry if you're not very handy. Once assembled, you can place a flat plate on top if you want to hold heavier items, and it can support up to 40 lbs. These stands are great for wedding table centerpieces, party decorations, or adding a touch of style to your home. When it comes to maintenance, since they're made of iron and are resistant to rust, you just need to keep them dry. Avoid leaving them outside in the rain for long periods. Also, note that your order only includes the flower stands, so you'll need to get other accessories separately if you want them. Have fun using your new flower stands to create beautiful arrangements!
