Soph Gent's phone display stand.

[Greg G.]

I hope you don't mind Soph Gent, but I saw this pic from you at another forum (which I won't post to anymore regarding phones for reasons I won't go into), but I thought it was really cool and very practical for a phone display, four phones with a small footprint, great for places with limited space.  I'm assuming it's original purpose was for something other than phones.  What is this stand called?  I want to start a search for one like it.

Lets see. It is listed a a plant stand for a "Buy it Now" of $9.99

Had it be listed as a telephone stand, it would have  brought at least $100.00

Maybe Mr. Helpful should suggest that to the seller

After Briny bids...

Actually, I remember when I was younger, there was a company who made unfinished furniture who made these. They were sold in stores like K-Mart, Wallmart, Zellers, etc. for a few dollars. My grandmother had a few of them for her violets. The legs were made in four sections - upon each a shelf was placed, and then the next section screwed on top of it with a thread machined into the wood. I final short section of leg capped it all off. I wound up putting together several of these for her.

Just be careful not to back into it while vacuuming.  Down go the phones......
