Very nice heavy duty stand that fits the sword with scabbard very well ( no play) the saddle is also lined to keep from scratching the sword. I was hesitant to buy because of a couple of other reviews about the pieces not fitting together. Well the vertical pillars do fit snuggly in the base but they are supposed to. This tight fit holds it all together firmly. I had to tap them down into place and that is what you want. The cross bar fits smoothly into the uprights and the uprights fit tight into the base. Use a rubber mallet to " tap " the uprights into place. If you don't have a rubber mallet then cover the upright with a cloth and put a piece of wood over the top of the upright and tap into place with a hammer. Don't hit the upright or you may break it. You may be able to just use your weight pressing down to get them in but I found it easiest to tap them in.
I did see a few small nicks in the wood but you have to look for them as they are stained over. All in all compared to the other flimsy ones you find here, these are great.
