Using this backdrop stand is a breeze. First, assemble the 4 steel stand bases. Then, attach the adjustable uprights support stands to the bases. Adjust them to your desired height, anywhere between 5ft and 10ft. Next, connect the adjustable width telescopic cross bars to the uprights, adjusting the width as needed. Lock the cross bars in place using the locking system at the top of the support stands. This stand is great for weddings, parties, events, photography, and exhibition decoration. Just note that sand weight bags and other accessories are not included. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent rusting. If it gets dirty, you can wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth.
