This is a really nice piece, and the vessel itself is gorgeous and solid.  My concern is the stand.  Its two very lightweight pieces that just fit together in an x pattern, so everytime I go to move the pot, I have to be physically holding onto the ceramic planter because the stand will wobble, or collapse alltogether without the weight of the planter on it.  Not a great design for such a beautiful piece of pottery. I am still waiting for my snake grass to arrive as the one I wanted was sold out, but I do really like this accent piece.
