Need a cheap stand which will display only mounted works on my stand at Bournemouth in July. I have in mind a free standing X shaped in profile so the works can be acessed easily. Here's a quick sketch of in my mind. 2nd hand will be fine of course, if it's local I can collect.

I have a beechwood one I bought some time ago.....eBay ...Amazon I can't remember , but it was only about £30.00 it folds flat to pop in car then folds out more or less as your diagram. I always add a laminated A4 verbage to the outside I just add it with a ribbon . It holds probably upto 30 / 40 mounted works. I also use a big roll of cellophane to cover them , looks good and keeps them clean. Again e bay bought probably twenty years ago and used regularly ever since . Hope you find what you are looking for.

Took me a while to find it - its listed as a print rack - I've got one myself and it does the job - anyway here it is: https://www.artsupplies.co.uk/cat-artists-print-racks.htm

There is an excellent chance of me borrowing one from the chap who does my framing. He intends to gut his shop for redecorating and suggested it when I asked if he had any spares or scrap racks, so I could help him in a small way by using his rack for a week. Digits crossed

Yep, if it was 1/2 price I might have been tempted but only for a weeks use? Suppose I could have hired it out on POL
