I don't think I'd be comfortable with anything on a stand of any sort - lap or floor. I wiggle around way too much while I'm quilting so I just use a hoop in my lap or sometimes no hoop at all. And I just buy the cheapie hoops at JAF. They are only a couple of bucks; last a reasonably (several years) time and are easily replaced. I've been quilting for about 15+ years now and so far have only purchased 2 for < $10. Works for me.
