Let me start by saying this ground stand is built like a tank. The heavy-duty steel construction feels premium, and the powder coating gives it excellent weather resistance. I've had mine outside for 3 months through rain and heat, and it still looks brand new.
The double-layer design is genius - I was able to mount both my mini-split units securely. It easily handled the combined weight (about 300 lbs) without any sagging or instability. The rubber feet really do minimize vibration noise too.
But here's where things get frustrating. Like several reviewers mentioned, missing hardware seems to be a common issue. I was lucky - only missing two screws, but others weren't so fortunate. The instructions might as well be written in hieroglyphics - I ended up watching YouTube videos to figure out assembly.
The color mismatch (ordered white, got black) wasn't a dealbreaker for me, but the busted packaging was concerning. One of the support bars arrived slightly bent, though I managed to straighten it during installation.
Pro tip: Before starting assembly, lay out ALL parts and compare against the manual (as confusing as it is). Contact customer service immediately if anything's missing - they were surprisingly responsive when I reached out about my bent bar.
Once properly assembled though? This stand performs beautifully. My AC units sit securely elevated above ground level, protected from flooding during heavy rains. The adjustability means it should fit most 9K-18K BTU units on the market.
Final verdict: 4/5 stars for performance, 2/5 for customer experience. If Flamorrow improves their quality control and instructions, this would be a perfect product.
