So how do you display the Millennium Falcon once you've built it? There are several options:
hang it from a wall or ceiling, some use a flat screen TV mount, or custom brackets; use a shelf,
a display cabinet with glass doors, a coffee table with a glass top (and/or add glass sides to enclose it),
or even have a custom table built.
There's a really good thread at the
Brickset Forum
with all kinds of ideas (good, bad, downright ugly, and custom-built and expensive).
Don't forget to check reddit
too for ideas. I will post some of the ideas I've come across.
Remember the Millennium Falcon is 32.6 inches long by 23.6 inches wide. I find it
difficult to find glass top coffee tables with a width of 24" or wider (without going square),
and you want more cushion than 24". I don't want someone bumping into this by accident getting
up from the couch. Some people have closed in their table on all sides with either glass (which is
very expensive) or plexiglas.
This is probably the most popular stand on the market. It was posted as a MOC over at
Rebrickable
where you can easily locate the parts and assemble it yourself. Many Chinese companies copy this design
and sell the stands for way too much on eBay and AliExpress, etc.
This can be installed at the conclusion of bag 4 during the build process. You can install this
after construction is complete, but you'll probably need help to do it. Make sure you get Version 2
of this stand which leans back more than the original.
Check out the designer's YouTube video which demonstrates the stability of this stand.
Studs McSnap also has a construction video and some pointers on using this stand.
East Blox also has some pointers on using the stand if your Millennium Falcon is already complete.

They show the Millennium Falcon in both orientations and have it going on a Lazy Susan.
Markenwelt Voegele is a company based in Germany. Their stand is unique in that it has an adjustable swivel head to reposition the Millennium Falcon in most any direction. It also has a very large footprint to be able to offer this flexibility. Made of plexiglas. It's the most expensive stand on the market at $165 not including shipping.
Wicked Brick is a company based in Cambridge, England. Their stand also comes with a matching minifigure display stand that can fit into the base, or be displayed separately.
