Pros : This was a life-saver when a 5" fused and slumped plate broke. We could no longer use it as a plate but the V-stand turned the plate into a art object. The artist's work can be appreciated now from a different viewpoint.
Cons : Not a true con - it is a thin holder so anything real thick (tile) won't work but it was excellent for a double thick fused and slumped plate.
Other Thoughts : When I bought the V-stands, I did not have this usage in mind but it turned out great. Wish I had bought more as more of our customers were looking for a way to display glass without having to hang it on a wall.
