It was very easy to assemble, all pieces were there and no defects as others discussed

What I received was a three leg stand with a wing-nut in the top of a straight shaft and three loose pieces of metal angles to put under the wing-nut to try and balance the snare drum on

No manual for setup and missing pieces

However it was missing quite a few pieces - like the bridge to hold the two drums that rest above the bass drum

You won't be getting a real grown-up drum kit sound and kids tend to really hit things hard so be ready to tighten loose pieces often.

It was missing a fee vital pieces, including the stand for the snare drum

It arrived missing an essential piece to hold the smaller drums to the larger and another part broke on first use

Several other pieces have failed.

We are still searching for a way to contact someone to get the missing piece.

It is a well made piece!!

Good piece of instrument for the price

We set it up as a modern 4-piece for my 3yr old & he LOVES it!

Several pieces fell off,and frequently things started to become loose

Only after contacting Amazon to obtain the missing piece, I was told that the instructions were incorrect, and one can actually assemble the stand without that piece

No one was stung and I tried to free as many as I
