It stands on a turned pedestal foot with a finial and ring on top.

The cups are the traditional diya shape with a pointed lip, so oil and a cotton wick sit correctly. Standard tealights also drop straight in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from the three-layer stand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight and count. This one is 15.75 inches with 18 cups; the three-layer is 24 inches with 30. Same design and finish. This is the table one, that is the floor and entrance one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it block the view across a dining table?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. At 15.75 inches the top tier sits above eye level for a seated diner but the stem is slim, so it does not wall off the table the way a solid centrepiece does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the ring at the top for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA finial you can lift it by when empty. We would not hang it with the diyas lit or filled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fill it with water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe would not. The base metal is iron under a gold polish, and standing water will eventually work under the finish and cause rust. Use it dry — petals, tealights, dry flowers — or float things in a separate glass or brass bowl set inside it. If it does get wet, dry it straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come apart?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt arrives assembled and stays that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth. This is iron under a gold polish, so keep it dry — do not wash it, do not put it in the dishwasher, and do not leave it outdoors overnight. Wipe out any spilled wax or oil once it has cooled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor an evening under cover, yes.
