I have over 1,500 African Violets at home and they need all shelves with lights I have, so I had a trouble to find a right place for my orchids with enough light. I found this stand in Goodwill for $5 - good deal! It's tall and narrow, that's what I needed. I know it's still not enough light they will get, but better than before. At least they will get some sun after 1 PM. It's good at the winter time then I will move them to another window with less sun
