Achla Designs GBS-09 Spider, Wrought Iron Globe and Toadstool Stand Low Short, Black

This item arrived quickly and is as the seller described…It is Sturdy, Google Value for the money and it’s easy to assemble/install.The Gazing Ball I purchased, unbeknownst to me came with a stand… but I chose to use this stand instead of the one provided with the globe.The seller’s description states that it will accommodate a 10”, 12” and the smaller sized globe which I don’t remember.I have a 10” Gazing Ball which sits slightly below the top curved sections of the stand with the ball’s tube if you will, setting inside the kinda cup design of the stand… so that part of the design has kept the ball from blowing away/falling off.That being said… I don’t see a 12” gazing ball being cradled with the top hump/curved areas and may blow off in decent crosswinds.This stand appears it would work best for a ball less than a 10”.Since my stand sits in a marble rock area, I cleared the rocks where the stand will sit and secured it with a few”U” shaped landscaping/weed barrier stakes/staples… it may not need it and maybe it’s overkill… but I didn’t wanna experience a “shoulda, coulda, woulda” moment.Overall, in my case it serves its purpose and looks great where it’s located.Added a solar landscaping spotlight so the Gazing Ball set up can be seen at night.

I like that it was VERY easy to open & put together. It came ready to use. Has worked well all summer!!

Perfect size for where I needed this

I used this in a small garden water feature close to steps and within low ferns.

Grrreeeaaaatttt

The stand is low enough to be stable and not easily knocked over. It is the perfect size to display our 10 inch gazing globe and adds an interesting focal point to our backyard. It would make a great gift for someone needing an outdoor globe stand.

may be a bit pricey , but does the job, although when I picked it up I broke my yellow 6 inch Achla gazing ball!!!!! it fell over and the top broke, I was moving it a bit ,so be careful with your globes.. overall this is sufficient and looks like a big spider, so ok for out doors.

I liked the height and fit ball perfectly.
