Tato - is there a likelihood that the stands will become available on a reliable and commercially reasonable basis?

Probably not. They are only available through Dutch and they seem to only get in 20 or so every month or two.
The Tensa is for sale from Tensa, Warbonnet and Dutch. All have them in stock.

Let me explain the situation the best I can. The aluminum tubing to make the stand is all specially made and there is a long supply chain for that. We order them in batches of 100 however Tato is a small family run shop. They can't make 100 at one time unless they stop production for all their other customers. For this latest batch, they ran out of carrying bags and contracted us to make them. However that was when we were in the throws of our fall sale and we got swamped. Today we finally started making them and that will be the last of the road blocks. So we ae going to be able to release another 40 very soon. The best thing you can do is subscribe for it on the product page. We send out an email to everyone subscribed the day before announcing when it will go on sale and then we send another email on the day of the sale. They sell out in about 8 to 12 hours. It is the very best everyone can do to produce and notify everyone.

This is one of the reasons I’ve come to enjoy this community so much: straight forward information on what’s going on behind the scenes.

That being said, I had no idea the stands were that popular.
