It is hard tell because the perspective on the virt between the tree/pot and table are very differnet and makes the table look a lot larger that it would be. I dont like the table legs that have an outward curve with the pot. This constrasts to much with the pot. I would like to see a leg that has a more inward curve. I think either a cherry, rosewood or walnut stand would be good color choices. I also think the size of the new stand should be close to the original stand, to slightly smaller. This will keep the proportion of the tree/pot/stand. I will be interested in other thoughts.

Thanks Will for the opportunity. We don't get much action on displaying trees.
