The price on this look was the lowest by a solid amount and the ceramic is a good quality. The wood stand is not the best quality and poorly stained but it looks fine from a distance, I have both colors and the darker one is a little better. All in all I would still recommend because it looks great even if its not the most high end mid century pot and stand combo available. In other words, you could spend a lot more money for the same effect and this looks so good that spending extra is really not necessary.
