For anyone UK based (maybe Europe too) who is looking for a decent deck stand I can recommend Kernow Carpentry. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Kernow-Carpentry

I bought one a few years ago, it came as a flat pack but with instructions and photos far better than Ikea. It's so stable and well built and rivals pretty much any other deck stand I've seen/used before.

Pics attached, these are old pictures and my setup doesn't look like this any more, but they do show off the stand nicely.
