It's the cool tripod base of this stand that we really love! There are small "feet" on the ends of each of the legs and that gives the base even more character. We also really love the patina of this piece!

While you certainly could use this lab stand for its intended purposes, there are other fun uses, too! Here are some ideas for using the lab stand:

• Floral Vase - Fill the flask with water and add your favorite fresh cut flowers or greens. Set the stand on your center island or table for a unique centerpiece.
• Home Bar Beverage Holder - Pretend you're a mad scientist and fill the flask with your favorite liquor. Then when it's time to mix drinks, just pour shots out of the flask. 
• Mad Science or Halloween Decor - Fill the flask with water and add dry ice for a foggy effect. You could also add colored water - think murky green - to the flask and pretend it's the potion of life at a mad science or Halloween party!

We're sure you'll find lots of uses for this!
