User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Manufacturer needs more precise measurements
Overall the stand is of very good quality. We needed to “compress” the end of each leg by squeezing it in a vice so that it would fit into the bottom bracket slot. Once that was done, it works perfectly.

1 Star poor packaging
When this was delivered by UPS it was broken. You could hear the glass tinkleing in the box. I sent it back without opening. It is not packaged properly for shipment…maybe if you bought one in store it would be OK, but i would not take a chance.

2 Stars Misleading Description
It’s an ok lighting system. (It’s not actually as flimsy as I anticipated after reading several other reviews.) However, they say it includes “2 agrobrite light tubes”. It only comes with ONE. And, the light fixture only holds one bulb, so the seedlings I’m growing all tend to bend towards the center reaching for the one bulb. I feel a bit ripped off - there should have at least been a second replacement tube in the box.

4 Stars Easy to Assemble and Sturdy
I received this product today and found it relatively easy to assemble with the use of only a Phillips screwdriver. The result is a sturdy grow light. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because the description says, “two full-spectrum AgroBrite 48″ light tubes” are included. There was only one T5 though I’m thinking that it’s a result of a redesign.

5 Stars Excellent Service
I didn’t find the assembly difficult. I’m not sure about being flimsy—the fixture is heavy relative to the frame, but the frame does seem to hold the fixture steady, and it moves up and down smoothly.

The company gets the five stars for excellent customer service. My unit came with a defective fixture. I e-mailed them, and received a quick response and a new (working) fixture within a week or so. Thanks!
