Ref: Stand

I use a camera tripod. We drilled a hole in the middle of a wooden cutting board and attached it to the tripod. You can use any size board you want and the height adjusts to about anything I need. Plus if I am not using the stand my husband can use it to tape my shows for my viewing...to grow with the art.
I throw an accent table cloth over it to dress it up. Or I have even used it plan for my possum once in awhile. Or I have taken a little girls fancy skirt and put it over it to just dress up the board.
Some use mike stands and attach something flat to the top. I think that may take a little extra work.
But if it works for you it really doesn't matter what you use.
