Rough feet on heavy pots can scratch the wood, and there isn't much one can
do about that except to use care when placing pots on stands.

I always give my stands a couple of good coats of paste wax prior to an
exhibit. That shines them up nicely and protects against water damage if
there is a drip or two. Of course one should only be using the stands for
exhibit purposes, not for every day display.

What kind of care is taken with the beautiful display stands used with
bonsai trees and accent plants? They are an art form in their own right
and
I cringe to see pots with rough edges and trees that could possibly leave
water damage. I'd love to put my trees on a lovely stand but don't
because
of the above concerns.
