Hi alfon1917, The point of the C.O.G is fixed depending on the height of the cantilever arm. Due to the size of most pots being greater than the point of COG, it isn't that critical. You can move the pot left or right a bit off the COG and it still stays up... I have had no issues with watering my potted plant which now has its home on it (after my adult son knocked the fish bowl off while swinging a rope inside)Highly recommend giving it a try... 😊

Lol... Very true alfon1917... None here in Brisbane metro area, Australia since I was born... I don't think too much stays standing when a real earthquake hits anyway... Have a great day and thanks for commenting... 😃

Thanks... I am thinking of making his adventures into children's online books to encourage them to explore the outdoors more... Take him on road trips and the like...😊

Good job, nice to see some recycling happening..

It sure is...

Thanks for adding a more detailed explanation for the readers... Excellent, I really appreciate it... 😃👍

Thanks Penolopy :)

Hahaha... The last cat I owned knocked over everything that wasn't glued or screwed... Thanks for the encouragement 😁

Hi dlukasek, Sorry to hear about your wine holder... The design is meant to be placed in a spot that is free from animal or children's reach, for the very reasons you mentioned. I would suggest for those that have animals or children, that you just make a chunkier one. The thicker and wider the "stand" is the more stable it will be... In it's lowest position it is remarkably stable. I shook the hall table that is in the photo. everything on the table wobbled, but nothing looked close to falling. Something fun and interesting, that has a place in a stable home... Might not go well in an earthquake though :)

Hi Mindfulone.....The concept works on the centre of gravity and cantilever principles. The higher up the anchoring beam the platform, the further out the centre of gravity is. That is why when in the higher position, the bowl or plant is further out "on the limb"...It is more stable the lower the limb which makes it a viable addition to a stable surface. the weight that is applied "Holds" the whole structure in position. I tested this piece out with over 30kg of weight and it held up. A simplified answer, but I hope that helps. Thanks for your comment and question...
