NewLondon88 (Charlie) sent me a number of the acrylic stands to try. I did pay for the first group of single stands but not the second and did not pay for the triples just to let all know,
The first group were single stands with risers that were made facing straight up. When I received them the slots for the risers on a few were not cut all the way through and I was able to knock two of them out but the other two I broke . Charlie was notified and he has now fixed that and sent me replacements along with risers that were cut to face forward.
All of the stands as well as the risers come with a film on both sides that has to be removed. The finished edges are well done, not polished but nice and smooth.
The first triple pen stands were not spaced properly and also the larger pens ( Full sized Gents,Emperor Etc.) were the only pens that would fit on the bottom, unless you posted the Jr. sized pens.
Charlie then redesigned it and it is well proportioned and all sized pens should be able to be displayed.
He also sent me a couple of larger single stands for larger pens, I really like them but the smaller one do a great job of showing all size pens and I really don't think theres a big need for the larger singles. In the photos you'll see what I mean.
For those of you that do shows the 3 tiered and single pen stands would be a great addition to your displays, giving the customer a different perspective of your work looking down at your pen instead of looking directly at the pens in a vertical stand and seeing all that could be behind them. Also would be great for your photos that need to be sent off or done on line for jurying.
My overall review of these is for the price that he's charging they all are well worth considering, they are well thought out and made.
Here are some photos with pens so you can see what they look like with some pens and also one to show the two risers.
Here is the triple with a larger pen at the top:
With all same sized pens:
Trible w/o pens:
Large single with large pen:
Small single with large pen:
Small single with Jr. Sized pen, risers facing you:
Small single risers facing up:
