Quality Sword Stands

[Shamsy]

I'm hoping someone will know where I can find quality sword stands on a budget. I did a search on the forums but didn't get a hit. I've purchased large stands from eBay claiming to be quality, but was sorely disappointed. By sorely, I mean cheap pine, didn't screw together and crappy matt paint. Sort of thing anyone could do with any degree of woodworking skills and $5.

 

Once bitten twice shy. Quality on a budget I'm after. Doesnt have to be fancy. I'm looking at the sword, not the stand. Id rather not pay hundreds for these, though they are an important part of respecting and showing the sword. If they're in Aus all the better.

 

Thank you.

Thank you Greg. The stands they have tick all the boxes.

Why not cover your existing  stand with a square of white cotton and hey presto........ instant DTI!!

A good suggestion Malcolm, but the issue is not enough space on the stands I have. Very nice Stephen, but it's over $50 postage to Australia. A shame as I really like that one.

I really liked the stands you suggested Stephen, so contacted the seller. They were kind enough to halve shipping for me. I bought two in the end. Cheers for the lead.
