Thanks Tucs, but this stand had to be "cat" proof.  The cats don't go near my practice area, but climb all over the chair area and are very happy to bat at any and all swingy things.  And on the other side of the equation,,I have a four piece tenor drum outfit that needs to find a use or find a trash bin.  This is one, one of them is now a waste basket, so I have two looking for a reason to exist.
