I have sent an email to him about dimensions. If my DP Counter Cooler fits like a glove, then I might have to go for it.
What do you guys think a fair value would be? Asking $300 (including shipping) - don't know if I'd want to go much over that, but it would be nice with my counter cooler (if it fits?)

The base looks to be deeper than your cooler, Tom....
Very cool piece and with some previous discussion on reproducing items; this would make an easy reproduction!

You were right Jim!
Base is 25.5" x 21" x 16"! So seeing as it is too deep and may be marginally wide enough, I think I should just look into fabricating one.
Anybody have better archived pics of all sides of one of these - even the repro? Or a different style stand? Would like to get something to display my cooler on and make it functional at the same time.
