kimwookI bought a similar-looking stand once. Terrible finish of the wood (tiny splinters sticking out everywhere), and it was wobbly on a perfectly level glass tabletop. The Amazon seller I bought it from didn't even want to bother with me returning it, he just refunded me and said I could toss it.
The Lanier stand is obviously a luxury product and priced accordingly. Nobody needs a hundred dollar pen stand. But let's not pretend that any cheap crap you can find on the Internet is a perfect substitute.
