A fabulous ink well stand with wonderful large glass ink well. Not sure what kind of wood, but it adds to the beauty with the contrasting brass and white trim around the brass studs. The base is 8.5" by 11.5" and with the ink well stands about 6" high. The ink well seems to be stuck into the opening of the base, and I didn't want to force it, maybe by design. I have a similar one in the store and the ink well will not come out of it also. Maybe they glued them in to keep them from falling out ...
