Looks good

For cheap its good enough looking for me but not for others. I try and do a decent looking stand near cheapo as possible and I'm happy with my cheapo stands. Many want a perfecto square ada/uns blah stand but not me. I want something cheap, strong as hell and not looking to win a stand contest in end but nice and clean. it will finish out great as I was a house/cabinet painter for 10+ years. I know tricks to make even brushed on paint smooth as sprayed In end. floetrol and penetrol is difference between seeing brush strokes in end or not. Sanding between coats makes a huge difference too.
