I have put the broken piece together then put duct tape to keep them in place, removed the tape after few hours it was solid by then

You must keep the parts clamped together for 60 minutes. After that, the instructions say to let it dry for "several hours" before putting any undue stress on the components.

The case is held to the wall by its back piece. The frame and the weight of the case are held to the back by tiny little tacks (think staple strength) After 2 months the back began to separate from the weight of the rest of the case. I could hear the foam (the jewelry sticks in foam) begin to tear. Like a Velcro sound! We had to set it back on the floor. My husband will try putting "L" brackets on the inside to connect the top of the frame to the back. If we would have hung it when I first got it I would return it, but it took me several months before we hung it. I wish I could return it. The case is held to the wall by its back piece.

Are you sure you have the right pieces in the right order? I did not experience any difficulty stabiling my stand. perhaps you could try putting the base together first, making sure it's secure,then adding top/higher pieces? Am sorry, this prob isn't much help, but mine was fine.....

Hmmm I am trying to pic this in my head...I have never had a problem getting all pieces to meet where they should. have you tried it on another type of table? Does the piece that goes up and down and lock move properly?

Glass bath sits - not fastens - on the stand pieces. It takes some time to get it to balance properly. My guess is your squirrels could knock it over. If you do purchase it, a word of advice - take birdbath in during freezing weather. My bath cracked because the water in it expanded when it froze. Really dumb of me; I hope others can learn from my mistake. By the way, it's a beautiful birdbath.

Hi, how are you? I actually put a piece of jewelry in the cup, put the lid back on, wait 5 seconds, then gently shake it 5 times. The five time shake also takes five seconds. I then lift my jewelry out, and give it a rinse and pat dry. This 10 second rest and shake rule works faster than just sitting the jewelry in the container and waiting. It has never failed me, and my jewelry comes out sparkly each and every time No matter how tarnished a piece is, I have never needed more than 20 seconds. Going past one minute will start to take the sheen off your jewelry, and you don't want to do that to your sterling. Hope this helps Laura. :-)

Also, please be aware - this piece requires A LOT of assembly. If you're by yourself, allow about 4 hours.

Melt down on the way! With over 100 pieces, you should expect to sit down with him and put the marble run together. I work with special needs children all day and they love the marble run. Some times the run gets destroyed and we put it away for a few days. When I bring it out again, the children enjoy it for a long time. It will fall apart when you apply pressure or too much weight to the towering pieces. Try building it a little at a time, checking to insure that the pieces are installed in the right direction, then add to your design. Good luck! I hope you have as much fun as we have!

It takes a lot longer than three minutes to separate. We have used it a couple times--it takes AT LEAST 10 minutes of shaking if not a little more. Our family take turns shaking it--when one of us gets tired, we pass it on. We try to see who has more endurance! Lol. It changes to solid almost instantly when it's "ready". Don't give up--the homemade butter is worth it! (We add salt and honey).

grab a mallet and you will have it together in 2 seconds. We have an 8 and 5 year old boy, I'm 6 months pregnant and it took me no time to get together :-)

About six pieces. My son did it. He said it wasn't hard. You may need someone to help hold it while you put it together. .it took him about an hour and a half for all three pieces. He is very good at doing this. It might take you a little longer but he said it wasn't hard.

Between 4 and 5 seconds :) you could also try putting it near a wall or a counter so you can lean for a second to steady yourself

Oh yes, the directions provided with 5 pictures were NOT helpful at all.... I found this set of directions at another site, and we used them to assemble in about 2 hours with minimal profanity. Hope this help: http://www.windycityparrot.com/HQ-61818-Bird-Cage-Assembly-Instructions.html

It's not the easiest to take up and down. The pieces snap in and would be hard to take apart. I would guess about 15-30 minutes build/take down time.

Hi Ashley, should not take more than a couple of hours. The instructions are average in terms of clarity. Lay your pieces out ahead of time and it will go smoothly. All the parts arrived safely. Nothing broken or missing. Best thing to do with all assemblies is take your time.
