i mean if you have the grill you need the stand, it's sturdy which is what you want. i like the hooks on the sides to hold the tools, the shelf i never use i guess you could but its kinda small and you have to take off to cover the grill back up, and its not the prettiest thing, but it holds the grill up solid. slight pain to put together but not terrible.

It was relatively easy to assemble. While it does (at least for now) hold the grill it is very wobbly. I would rather have something a bit more difficult to put together but made of something sturdier that provided more support for the grill.

The stand holds the grill and is really only suitable if its not moved around much. Its pretty shocking that it was engineered to such a minimal standard without considering its usability. I'm very handy but even the way its built to be assembled is flawed. So bottom line is - it will hold the grill and probably wont fall apart once its assembled. Just dont plan on moving it much.
