Its the second one I purchased for my orchid collection. https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/sb0/plant-stands-accessories-c1825328.html?redir=BRNG1002&refid=GX330539932276-BRNG1002&device=c&ptid=784547368241&network=g&targetid=pla-784547368241&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=87167482&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgebwBRDnARIsAE3eZjSPVFK_GKXYkCRUu4toJa-UqdXjlNBFowoan8tH1vAMCXYvE-BeptcaAv_1EALw_wcB

I have some plants setting on nesting tables...small, medium tall and taller If you have someone that is handy with wood, I had some plant stands made with wood spindles or you could use posts, and had a flat piece of wood for them to stand on and a flat piece for the top. I have different height wrought iron plant stands also.
