The docking stand does the job if you don't want to go to the trouble of hanging it permanently on your wall.
I would like there to be another place to attach the stair attachment as there isn't one and it ends up sitting on my shelf and not on the stand with the other attachments.
My docking stand was good value for money as I bought it from eBay for £50 but I think the retail price of £100 is a little high.
