"glass base is bigger than it looks and is really stable. the buying point for me was we needed a hookah people could see over to watch movies. but its just a very stable and near impossible to tip over and with the extra hose mod has its own check ball so if u spend the extra cash u can have a 2 hose hookah that u dont have to hold onto the ends. really good buy imho! cheers and thx hookah kings for always carrying the best!"
