LANGXUN 2-Pack 28" Balloon Stand Kit for Birthday Party Decorations, Wedding, Christmas - Includes Happy Birthday Balloons - Perfect for Indoor/Outdoor Events, Baby Showers, Graduations & Holiday Celebrations

The pieces were easy to put together with a bit of strength, but were a bit wobbly once assembled. Don't move it about or jostle it, just let it look pretty. It looks great and saves on the cost of helium balloons or canisters. Comes apart easy for compact storage to use again, too.If using indoors, no issues. I found out that they don't work as assembled outdoors with any wind. The tubes and balloon holders disconnect. So a temporary fix was to use clear packing tape around all connections. When I got home, I removed all tape. Then I got my glue gun out and "welded" all the connections. Works great! One more thing, you will have to secure the base to the table you set these on if outdoors as any wind will blow it off. I just used packing tape and it removed nicely after I was done.I didn’t expect much from this product given the price but I was presently surprised! It took about 10mins to complete each display, including the assembly of the stand, blowing up the balloons, and attaching them. The base held up better than expected (didn’t tip over at all during our indoor event). It gave a nice display for balloons at a fraction of the price of helium ones! Definitely would recommend.Bought these for my store as an alternative to using helium and they are great. Easy to assemble and I was most concerned if they would stay up straight and they do.My only complaints are that they definitely could be cheaper - I don’t think they are worth more than $10. And I was also missing one of the connectors so I can only use three of the four. Also two of the balloon holders were very dirty like they had been used or something.Still worth buying to make decorating easier and overall save money instead of buying helium balloons at a store or using a store bought helium tank where the balloons don’t stay up longer than a couple of hours.picture a long straw that you connect with a little plastic attachment connector piece to lengthen and then try to fit the bottom end into a very shallow plastic circle groove and then hope when you connect the balloon to the plastic cradle that it doesn't fall over or out of the base. you may juggle balloons. WHY u ask... the bottom that fits into the thin plastic plate on the floor with a shallow groove isn't deep enough to put the straw in and hold or support it, and then with the length and weight of the balloon ( oxymoron ), it has trouble supporting it, and the straws tend to bend so the display is not exactly like the pic. I am playing whack a mole the entire time, trying to get the one end to stay in the base and then the balloon end from tipping over or falling out. I don't have pets, but a little wind ( not that type of pooft) may cause it to fall over if you walk by it. I have tried a little weight on base and tying straws together to keep the display from splaying, but it is flimsy. Just know this in advance. Total of 7 balloons but don't have to use all, especially if using a regular but larger balloon, Also let some air out, so the balloon forms more of a circle as some have lengthy shapes by where the air goes in, and that eggplant shape won't work well. Just let some air out to shape it into the circle to helo it fit in the cradle. NO directions but take the bottom where you tie balloons and pull out and pull through one end slit of the mini cradle and through another slit on another side to get the balloon into the base, which then goes into the end of the straw. Then start juggling. Set this up where you will be displayed as this will not be able to be moved without falling apart unless you use tape. If no one sneezes near it and you get it together, it does look nice, but the word flimsy kept going through my mind every time I set it up. It is reusable, which is nice. If need it sturdier and don't care to reuse it, you can even try to glue it for stability at the base and use string to keep ballons closer.These stands are amazing and very easy to assemble once you get the first one. I guess the seller paid attention to the comments because it came with instructions and another complaint was about them falling over. I thought I was going through the same thing until I realized that they were not pushed down enough. Once they locked in they were very sturdy. The only thing I can say is it’s hard to use them outside because of the wind which is how I used them. The actual stands were still standing but by the time the party started the balloons were everywhere lol. Great productI am not sure what people are talking about but mine was extremely easy to put together without any instructions and it kept together. I accidentally knocked them over twice and they did not fall apart at all. I also picked them up and moved them around several times, still didn’t fall apart. Just connect the pieces as snuggly as possible without breaking it and pass the balloon tails through all the slots. Put the balloon on disconnected holder first and only then connect it to the tube. Start with the bottom ones. Yes the tubes are easy to break or bend, yes it will fall over in the wind outside if there are no additional weights on the base but it is absolutely perfect for the inside and great value for your money, considering that you can reuse it.With the helium shortage, I had to figure out a different solution to birthday balloons. These look fantastic setup BUT they are quite the project to get set up. They need a bit more directions and be aware that they aren't super stable and the sticks will come out of the base. But once you get them set in there, they are beautiful and I honestly have no intention of ever buying helium balloons again.Was tired of spending endless amounts of money and time purchasing helium balloons, with very little variety in my local market. With these two stands, we were able to easily decorate with previously purchased balloons. No need for helium and worrying about transporting them from the store to home. We were able to arranged them as we please as we were assembling the stands.Very easy to assemble and disassemble for later use...later use being the bonus as you can use these stands over and over again.Would highly recommend for the person that wants to decorate with balloons quickly, easily and effectively.I don’t know why this product has such high rating or maybe I just got a bad batch. Anyways, this was easy to assemble and have the balloons attach to the bikes but the minute you either touch it or walk by the stand fast the plastic thin poles with the balloons would fall down. You have to be in stealth mode lol.All this product needs is a way for the poles to lock to the base. I set this up a day before the event and the whole day it kept falling. I got tired and just took it out of the equation all together and will be returning it.CheersNice product but, you have to be careful how big your balloons are and what type. Also, I ended up having to tape the individual straws together after assembling. After I did that, the straws with balloons didn't fall down.I bought these for my sons birthday and it was a big waste of $. Doesn’t come with any instructions, and it has several small pieces. Once I figured out how it is assembled I could not get them to stay in the base! The rods pop out constantly because the balloons push against each other. I ended up taping the whole thing together isn’t worth the $!I got these for a shower I was hosting with great expectations. However, I was disappointed because if the following: no instructions, had to go on You Tube, thank God the YT. Next not enough pieces, that's why said the manufacturer needs to pay attention to packaging. Oh and don't press to hard when putting in the center piece, mine broken, that has nothing to do with the manufacturer, I just pressed to hard.
