Features

Nylon coating

Super-tough black nylon coating makes the stand a pleasure to touch and, unlike other coatings, never chips.

Solid base

The heavy, solid base gives added stability. Rubber feet ensure 3-point contact on uneven surfaces whilst protecting your floor and preventing clatter.

Mounting socket

The special mounting socket enables the lamp to be easily removed in seconds.

Storage hooks

Storage hooks eliminate excess cable trailing around the floor.

Friction Joints

Constant friction is maintained by powerful springs in the friction joints of the tray and lamp which means they stay automatically at whatever angle you place them – there are no knobs to fiddle with or lose, and they will never go slack.

Compact storage

Grand Opera Stands nest, with or without lamps, for compact storage.
