Bluewave 3-Step Floor Metal Stand - 35" Inch Metal, Green

Bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law for Christmas. Paired this with a ceramic water crock, and it was a big success.Package arrived on time, well packaged, and with decent instructions. Put it together, and I will say that I was worried about how slight this thing felt. Put the crock and 5 gallon bottle on top, no issues. Added the two bottles to the holders in the base, and it seemed to be more stable. Mother-in-law loved it, and looks great in her kitchen. Well made, and despite feeling a little slight, this thing does exactly what it is supposed to do.

I am very pleased with this stand. I like it better than the wood one I already have. It is light weight, super easy to assemble and looks great. Plus, you have storage space for two bottles. Highly recommend it.

While this went together fairly easily and it looks nice. I worry that without having two 3 gallon jugs in the bottom of the stand it would be unstable to the point of dangerous.I purchased the Bluewave 3-Step Floor Metal Stand - 35", Green , the New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Dispenser, 2.2-Gallon, and two New Wave Enviro Products BPA Free Tritan Bottle, 3-Gallon to use together. With over 5 gallons of water on the top of the stand and only 3 gallons at the bottom ( dispenser holds 2.2 gallons + 3 gallon jug and second, filled jug on the bottom most storage space) it feels a little too top heavy for my comfort. I worry about when I have to swap the jugs and all I have is an empty to put in the bottom storage area. I think the stand would benefit from either a weighted bottom and/or feet that come out a little further for more stability. Otherwise, the stand is great. It looks nice and by itself it feels solid. I'll be buying at least one more jug and will try to always keep a full one on the bottom so I don't have to worry about it getting easily knocked over .

Three things I really like about this stand as compared to my old wooden one. 1) It's much taller, so I don't need to bend down to get water 2) It's sturdier as long as you tighten all of the hardware as described in the instructions and 3) I like storing two large 5-gallon bottles right on the stand. As I was building it, I was thinking that it would be too small to hold 5-gallon bottles, but I was wrong! One caveat: It's not the fault of the stand per se, but the bottles are stored in the stand tilted so the water hits the cap of the bottle. I've already had one very leaky bottle and another that just dripped a little as the water delivery company didn't seal the caps that well. I have a mat down in front of the stand for when this happens again.

It does what expected. I didn't like the color so we spray painted. Once assembled it works well. However there were no instructions as to how to assemble so it was a "common sense assembly." I was concerned that it would be top heavy if you didn't have full bottles at the bottom, that thankfully is not the case. The hardware included was shoddy so I used the like that I had in my tool box. I wonder if you used the hardware included it wouldn't be as stable. It is sturdy and gets the job done.

I ordered the green stand. I like that it is all metal. I really like the dark green color. It goes nicely with my green crock. Very sturdy.Also, I use 3 gallon water jugs, they fit perfectly.

Color is like emerald green. Not for my liking. If it were oil rubbed bronzed it would be better. I decide to make one myself out of oak and stain it.

It was pretty easy to assemble. Seems sturdy with all 3 jugs on it. I think its worth the price for how compact and clean it makes your water jugs look. As opposed to leaving them on the floor taking up lots of space. So far so good.
