Bought this mainly to display a cherished piece of sculpture. Curvy leg stands are appealing. Was somewhat 'tippy' with just our sculpture sitting on it, but my wife had the bright idea of putting a heavier creamic vase w a faux flower arrangement on the base. She unscrewed one leg to fit the vase in but it fit perfectly and makes the stand more stable. Sculpture pedastels start at around $200 on up, but with my wifes' yankee ingenuity and Wayfair selections and prices, we saved mucho money purchasing this.
