Clarification on #4 above

4) The pen stand should be finished as though it was ready to be displayed with 1 to 3 pens.

Does that mean the stand can hold anywhere from 1 to 3 pens, or it should hold up to 3 pens but you only need pictures of it holding 1 to 3 pens, or can it hold more?

How many pens must the stand be able to hold?

The pen stand can hold up to 3 pens. So a stand can hold 1, 2, or 3 pens, but no more.
