Using your flower stands is easy. First, find a flat and stable surface. Then, follow the included instructions to assemble the stands. You can purchase a top plate separately and place it on the stand. You can put up to 40 lbs of weight on it, like a beautiful floral arrangement, as long as you distribute the weight properly. When it comes to maintenance, these stands are made of rust - resistant iron, but it's a good idea to keep them dry to prevent any potential rusting. And remember, this order only includes the flower stands, so don't expect any other accessories. These stands are great for weddings, parties, or sprucing up your home decor.
