A stand quickly and reliably supports an article at a desired location relative to a floor or other support surface for convenient use. The stand includes a base portion that is adapted to engage a support surface. A post portion includes a lower member connected to the base portion, an intermediate member, and a first coupling that prevents axial and rotational movement of the lower member relative to the intermediate member. The post portion also includes an upper member and a second coupling that prevents axial and rotational movement of the intermediate member relative to the upper member. Lastly, the stand includes a platform portion that is adapted to support an article. The lower member, the intermediate member, and the upper member of the post portion are each hollow and provide a passageway that extends from an opening formed through the base portion to an opening formed through the platform portion.
