## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with the stand?**
A: Hi! Unfortunately no, it doesn't. We sell the stand separately on our website. Thanks!

**Q: Want to do a grouping as an art piece can they be hung on the wall & still reflect & if so how would u hang them?**
A: It's pretty heavy and not too small. I personally do not think this is a good idea. If you hang the wallwill block a side, so it won"t reflect as much.

**Q: Hi! Can you also list the stand so i can order them together?**
A: My experience is they don't come with a stand even though they are displayed in the website ads.  We are 3D printing our own stands.
