I use these to display decorative tiles. Works very well.Was surprised to see it hold large pieces of wood and not fall over.These are good stands,Bang for the buck.We re order again once run out of them.I hope they continue carrying these. I dont see any on back order but will definitely order again.The product description said that the 12 inch model would accommodate 13-17inch plates which it did not. I effectively bought a larger version and it met my needs. Buyer beware you should potentially get a larger version than what the measurements indicate.Read lots of reviews to find something sturdy. These are nice but definitely not sturdy enough for anything heavySeems like it would do good on lightweight stuffDisplay china .Good quality and good price. Fits a plate perfectly. Yes, it came with two. I only took a picture of one.
