Christian Brands Robert Smith Walnut Stain Finish Wood Lectern, 43 Inch

This lectern is very nice indeed. Appears to be maple or birch stem with legs and top of mahogany, nicely finished. Wood is of good quality, straight grained, and smoothly finished. Easily assembed with six bolts. Stable, sturdy, not wobbly. I received it two days after ordering.

A parts list and diagram is included, NOT written instructions. Had the manufacturer made the bottom section diameter even 1/2" larger, it would be do-able. The included 'wrench' doesn't really fit, so need socket /wrench set and needlenose pliers to help. Awkward to put together to say the least. First of three legs, not a problem, second leg, tougher but do-able. Third leg, be prepared for frustration. The bolt goes into leg either way, but can only be used one way in order to accept the nut. Nothing said, just a drawing, and not too clear at that. Unit is lovely and sturdy, just the standing reading desk I wanted to keep me from sitting too much. Putting it together in order to use it? Well, see above.
