[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2034954, member: 5066"]Yes to all above, 4 leg stands replaced 3 leg candlestands after the federal period when oil lamps came in. Candlestands are notoriously unstable and with a lamp full of oil and later kerosene, a major fire hazard so they needed that 4th leg! to keep the house from burning down! Yes, OP table is more correctly a stand with drawer and medial shelf.[/QUOTE]
