You did the right thing. I also agree with BobCo19-65, you don't know how safe that stand is unless you put it end. That would suck to go set in it and have it fail resulting in a fall and a broken leg. I know a guy that fell from his own stand over a year ago. He was in a wheelchair 3 months, crutches 6 and he's limped ever since. He still might have to have his leg amputated.
