The picture and description of the #3546 Outrigger Wall Display are very misleading. They show many parts that do not come with the set, and do not clearly indicate that they are extra. Buyer beware!... See more

Item as described. Quick shipping. Directions on assembly are terrible. The finished product was not very sturdy so we added zip ties and it's great now.

First time ordering from your company

First time ordering from your company. I was pleased with your fast delivery of the item I ordered. The item itself wasn't exactly what I needed. Not to any fault on your part. I didn't read the measurements correctly the the stem is 8"shorter than I need. I also didn't understand the $2.00 extra added to my bill that was not on my invoice. Thank you.

The grids that I purchased worked out perfectly for me! I needed something to display my wreaths on that were sturdy but not heavy for me to carry. Easy installation and easy take down. I did it all by myself.

Helped me find a niche specialty product with ease and the process of picking up in person was seamless. Would definitely say it's worth the drive as someone from the Chicagoland area.
