Skipsan, I like the design of # 16334. Simple and attractive, but wouldn't compete with the bonsai for the viewers attention.
When choosing a display stand, or daiza, be sure that it's big enough to accomodate the bonsai without looking like the pot is "perched" on the stand. I've seen that so often over the years. People choose a stand thats just barely large enough.
If your club has a library, you might consider purchasing the book, "Bonsai Kusamono Suiseki" by Willi Benz to aid the members in the study of proper display. Check the link for more on this.
