Are these flat-pack plant stands hard to assemble?

Most candidates in this segment are designed for tool-free or single-tool assembly in 5–20 minutes, and verified-purchase reviewers across Amazon and Walmart generally describe assembly as easy. The recurring complaints involve plastic connectors on slatted wood stands (reported as fragile in subreddit threads) and missing hardware on the cheapest metal stands. Stands with welded metal frames generally have the fewest assembly complaints.
