Table menu holders

Anyone know where I could get some wooden table menu holders like this:

I think it looks really nice... (but could well be expensive!!)

    I just bought some exactly like these from Ebay...here's the link
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180470580774&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    Very reasonable and helpful seller too. I also got a big one (10 inch) for my table plan.

    Hels :T

    ps...its a rubbish pic on Ebay, they look so much better in real life so dont be put off!

    To me they look like plate stands sprayed a different colour.

    You can get them in a load of different sizes but they usually come in white or clear.

    How big is the card you're planning to display (the table menu that is)? I'm using the vistaprint invitation (the upright one) stuck on a card backing, just concerned that the card may have a tendancy to fall backwards.

    *** Never mind, just noticed that the seller has 6" stands too, they'd definitely do the job! ***

    I got the 3 inch ones - I'm using them to display table numbers (printed out onto nice paper, then stuck onto A5 card - landscape). The 3 inch could easily hold an A4 piece of card. They are quite substantial.
    (I've got an Ikea easel too - they are really flimsy in comparison to these.)
