Candle sticks, I mean jack stands, I mean candle sticks.  $39.00 for the set.

I think they would make great candle sticks, or just rustic industrial accent pieces. 

They are very heavy.  These would look great on a mantle.  The larger one has the bottom cut out where it flares at the bottom.  It still stands up just fine and I think that would actually help for being able to put it closer to a wall if needed.
