Just to be fair i would like everyone to know the problem was on the shipping delivers end not Tractor supplys. I never received the item due to it being damaged twice and they would'nt deliver it.

Shipped to the store, box was in pieces told the associate at tractor supply if the hardware is not in what is left of the box I will bring it back to get my money back, hardware was in it surprisingly. Assembly was not hard at all was looking for a little bit heavier gauge metal it’s def use it for 3-5 years and will be time to buy a new one. The support bar tabs one was broke and rest of them were bent instructions were spot on could’ve had better angles on the pics though.

The first one I ordered arrived in a pretty much destroyed box that had been sloppily taped up by I assume ups. It was missing parts so Tractor Supply graciously helped me order a replacement. That one arrived in a destroyed box and was also missing parts. Thankfully they hadn't returned the first one yet and we were able to make some match so I had one complete tripod. Apparently the company shipping these is putting these metal Parts in a box that is not strong enough to contain it without busting open during shipping. If it wasn't for that I would have given it four stars. It is a very sturdy tripod and is well made. However be aware as is with many fabricated metal things that you have to assemble there are places where you have to use a hammer or a crowbar to get the holes to line up so you can put a bolt through where you need to. Wore me out putting it together.

Overall very pleased with the stand.
