Okay, so I got this black brochure stand for my growing collection of self-published books (yes, I'm that pretentious writer who uses a pseudonym). First impression? It looks sleek and professional in my little supermarket display corner.

The assembly was... an adventure. The instructions might as well have been hieroglyphics - all pictures, no words unless you read some mysterious 'oriental language'. The shelves and top piece nearly broke me. Trying to tighten screws while holding nuts in place felt like solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded.

BUT! Once assembled (after much swearing), it's actually pretty great. The wheels are genius - I can move my literary masterpiece display wherever customers might actually notice it. Holds my various sized brochures perfectly, though I wouldn't trust it with heavy catalogs.

Pro tip: Skip the included tools and use an electric screwdriver. Saved my sanity during assembly.
