Living in the Midwest I had to bring in many tropical plants for the winter and these stands were perfect.  They were delivered nested together (so only 1 box).  I was able to use 3 on one floor and 2 of them on another floor.  Added bonus I hadn't considered until I unpacked them is that during the summer months, I can nest 2 or 3 of them when my tropical plants move back to the deck this summer.
