Hi everyone,
This term is used to refer to the three base parts of this POS stand: https://ibb.co/pRBVG8K.
I've gone with "base" for now, but am hesitating whether to opt for "podium", although I've never heard it used like this in English.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best,
Nick

| Thanks everyone! Do you think this is preferable to "base". As far as I can tell, all they are are base parts. |
