Red Lantern Rosewood Fishbowl Stand - Size 10.5 in. Base Diameter

It is often difficult here in the Midwest to source quality Asian decorating detail pieces. So I had been looking for quite a while to find some elegant examples of the taller type of Chinese pot stands to add interest and height to some porcelain pieces I have had for years. These looked like the original wood stands that my family brought back from abroad years ago, so I ordered one from Amazon. I have found these stands to be absolutely excellent! They are solidly constructed, sized accurately for traditional Chinese pots (which means they are available as 8.5 inches in diameter for the traditional 8 inch pot, 10.5 inches for the 10 inch pot, and so on).As mentioned before, the construction is excellent, as is the rich-looking finish........not so with many other stands from other sources.. Each of these stands (this is my second purchase from this vendor) arrived promptly, and each was packaged superbly.These stands make each porcelain pot really stand out and presents them on a secure base so I have no worries about my antique and expensive porcelains! A great find at a decent price! Everyone who has seen them has mentioned how nice it is that I have finally unearthed more of my family's heirlooms.......so it is clear that they fit into the scheme of my decorating as if they have always been there!I will certainly purchase more as soon as I unpack more of my travel "treasures" that need beautiful, secure stands.

Makes your pots more beautiful.

Just as pictured. Nice quality. Great platform for an oriental fishbowl.

Shipping was super fast! Packaging was great, it came in a large box with styrofoam padding on the inside. It had a box inside a box with a couple layers of styrofoam, and it arrived in one piece. I had read some of the reviews about it arriving broken, but luckily ours arrived in one piece with no damage.It's very pretty! I would recommend wiping it down with a cloth when unpacking it, as there are bits of styrofoam and little hair type things that stick to it (probably from the manufacturing process).We put ours on a carpeted floor, so it doesn't slip as much as it might on a tile or hardwood floor. It is a bit more wobbly than I would have liked, though. The five legs are held to the small lower ring by small pegs and glue, and they're held to the upper ring stand by glue. The upper ring stand glue seems to be looser on the one we bought. If you touch the legs it wobbles a bit. We also bought a planter vase to place on top of it, so it may be all right once it has more even weight distribution on top of it.(I have seen somewhere where someone nailed the upper legs for added sturdiness and it didn't seem to crack the stand, so that may be something we'll try. The stand will be covered by the vase, so it might work visually). The one we bought will hold the planter vase and a 6.5' artificial palm tree, and the stand seems to be holding well as long as you don't touch it or move it around.

Super nice.

This lovely stand really added to the look I was trying to achieve. Very sturdy. Highly recommend.

I wanted to get away from my traditional furnishings so I chose something Oriental. It started with the pot. I had to have the stand for the pot. Then the bird of paradise to go in the pot on the stand in the corner, lol. Sounds like the old school tale about the House that Jack Built. Back to the stand. It looks very expensive and the pot fits it perfectly. I know I will enjoy this for years to come. Thank you seller!

I have ordered this item twice, and both times it came in broken! The item is beautiful, but packaging is not substantial enough to prevent movement in the box.

Love the style, arrived with one broken leg that I was able to fix.

Looks as good as the photo, and it seems well made and sturdy, which was my primary concern.

Just what I wanted, exact match for my Oriental Fish Pot.

The product arrived very well packed and in excellent condition - superb quality, it really does enhance the presence of a vase.Good Value For Money.

Well made and very decorative, the colour is ideal to match with wooden floors. Have given the the reference number of the products to my friends
