New is not always the best.<br />The legs on these "stands" in most cases does not show. All you see is a pot of flowers or whatever at a desirable height. I love them. I really need some more.lolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-70537893808519590512009-05-26T19:10:32.387-05:002009-05-26T19:10:32.387-05:00Hi Lola, reusing things is the very best way to r...Hi Lola, reusing things is the very best way to recycle and keep more stuff from accumulating.
