Cruising the flea market circuit recently, we've taken notice of these circular vintage plant stands. After seeing them pop up at a handful of sellers booths, we looked online for a little more info on how exactly they were used.
Lisa Hallett Taylor's educated guess has these dating back to the 1950s
We found this one at This Is Not IKEA for $85
Around the same time, while taking photos for Annie's House Tour, we were pleased to stumble across the plant stands in action (top photo). Annie used them to display plants, books and other decorative finds. We love the simplicity of the white wire stand but also think it would be neat to spray paint one a bright color.

I always see these at antique malls, but they seem to take up a disproportionate amount of space.
LOVE IT!
I had one, once, in black. Used it to hold my stereo and speakers and music collection which fit the stand like they were made for it.
I moved. It, alas, did not.
I have bought 2...one for my plants and other cute little objects and the other one I have in my bathroom holding towels and soaps. It is so nice that they are thin enough that they don't stick out too much. I painted them a beautiful pewter and they are completely amazing!
Hi, just wanted to add this link from Urban Outfitters. It's not exactly the same but similar. And for only $15.
