I don't have that kind of space - if I did? I'd like something like that.

Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike,
I don't have much space either. The footprint is about the same size as the one from Cooperstown Bat. The table top is 17in diameter. The bat holder and base have the same diameter of around 11in across.

I added the table for the functionality of adding more display space or convenience. Having it this way offers the best of both worlds IMO. On one hand, having the table prevents the bats from being taken out too easily.
On the other, the table being removable is needed as the bats need to be lifted up to be able to remove them from the rack. I considered widening the openings to allow the bats to slide in and out without removing the table top, but the bats felt less secure in the slots I tried it on.
