Great stand and my thanks to both the original builder and the creator of the build instructions.  Having built and installed it on the 75192 Falcon, there are a few things I can now confirm.  
It does aid in the building process and can be installed after bag 4 is complete without interfering with the rest of the build.  
The model can be carried much easier when complete by using the stand as a "handle" and it does lock into the Falcon securely by four 2x2 plates on the underside and 5 pins into the internal frame.
The stand does assemble without any force or stressed parts anywhere. 
The 1x13 liftarm in step 13 of the build instructions does actually attach to the blue pin at the top (it appears next to it in the picture, but it attaches without issue). 
To my knowledge, the parts that aren't available in black (from the inventory above) are:  2x14720, 8x32123b, 6x48989, and all of the blue and red pins. 
The minimum clearance requirements for an enclosed space are exactly 13.25" deep and 21.75" high.  The 3 landing gear that can remain attached do not affect the minimum depth. 
Finally, it does fit in an IKEA REGISSOR glass-door cabinet/bookcase, as pictured above, with about 1/4" of clearance in depth (shelves are adjustable for height)..

This stand made it possible for me to display my Millennium Falcon in pride of place in our dining room. Excellent. Thanks so much.

I bought a complete set of new parts from two UK suppliers for just under £60.  I had looked at trying to do a complete black build, but some of the black parts were very expensive, so stuck with the grey (with black & blue pins).
I constructed the stand and attached after completing bag 4 of the MF (as suggested by others).  This has proven to be an ideal time to attach the stand, as it is easy to attach at this stage and it is then easy to work on as you continue the build.  I am now up to the end of bag 9.
The stand is very sturdy, as it fixes to the skeleton.  It is possible to pick the whole thing up using the stand uprights.  Although (whilst still exposed) I tend to pick it up by the skeleton (top part when on the stand) and one of the cross supports at the base of the stand.  This does result in the cross supports popping out every so often, so I decided to add some cable ties to all of the cross supports to strengthen them.  This sets my mind at rest.  I used blue cable ties that match the blue studs.  My son-in-law commented that he'd not seen that Lego part before (not realising what they are)  I've not had any issues with the stand uprights, just the cross supports.

Hey guys! Just finished my MF. I feel like the panels on the back are sketchy. Not anchored down very well. I want to build this stand but I am worried they won't stay on/in place. Has anyone encountered this? Solutions? Thanks in advance!

I purchased the Falcon (75192) just before Christmas and have been taking my time building it. I saw this excellent stand and ordered the parts (in black), except for a few that weren't available in black from three different USA stores. This is my FIRST Lego set ever but it has been fun and impressive at the quality of the instructions as well as the parts. I have just finished the fourth set of parts of the Falcon and then I built this stand. It took me an afternoon to build and was mostly easy. There were a couple of WTF moments but scrutinizing my work made it clear what had to be done. I am ready to add the stand to the Falcon now and build the rest of the ship around it. (What I learned from reading comments here). Thank you for your work and of course Efferman for creating such a cool stand. Looking forward to more Legos!

Great work! You saved my table.
The stand work great, I finished my falcon long time before I made the stand.
If you already built the falcon and try to mount it on the stand, be prepared to ready for falling parts. best if you first get those removable part off the falcon, and try to mount it.  I did that by myself but definitely two persons will be great.

The Youtube shown all the legs removed.  Actually you can leave three legs there if you want.  This stand is a must for falcon owner.

Brilliant idea. Great building. *****

Just finished this will help for space that the Falcon took up in the Lego Room!!! Thank You!

Someone called brickinstructionshopis currently selling the plans on eBay. Don't know if it is the designers listing.

Please, english is not my language, and there is too much to read for me in this page.
Can someone tell me if this moc 10219 as appears in this site, is full compatible with lego 10179?
Do I have to do some correction to adapt?
Has somebody used it for that set?
Thank you very much in advance.

I am rebuilding my 10179 soon and would love to sneak one of these in.  I have seen that for the new Falcon, it has been recommended to do bags 1-4 first and then install.  What about for the 10179 - any suggestions on when to install this stand?

Did build this a few days ago and did put the falcon on the stand yesterday. Works great. Very solid!

What is the height including the millennium falcon?

Thank you for this ! I really was in need for a place for my Falcon (not on a table like a trinket and far away from... cats !!!) It is perfect, solid, easy to build and with parts pretty easy to find ! 

I don't know if the website policy allows me to, but I know many people who don't understand english and would maybe find some advise in French useful, so : 

Pour les non anglophones, je conseille vivement ce support pour tout possesseur du Falcon UCS. Il est solide, facile à construire avec des pièces relativement aisées à trouver sur les sites de revente à l'unité. Les 400 et qq pièces se trouvent aux alentours de 70-80€ (fdp inclus) ! 
Petit tip pour ceux qui comme moi ont du finaliser le montage seul : sur une table plus longue que le Falcon, surélevez (via des bouquins ou autres) d'environ 20/25 cm afin de pouvoir retirer facilement les 'pieds' et de pouvoir glisser le support en dessous. Ça m'a pris 5 minutes !

This stand will work with the original millennium falcon. Highly recommend to follow the recommendations of mounting the skeleton first before adding the exterior. Otherwise it is a 2 person operation to mount given the weight when fully assembled. Can do the mount to the stand with one person, but need to remove the upper quad turret assembly, lift and hold the weight. Be interesting to see how this works when it comes time to pack this up to move in a few years.

I have a question about the part numbers. I compared the parts in this list to the parts in the instructions for the First Order Star Destroyer. There are several that are the same but the part numbers are completely different. For example part number 32054 in this list is called out as 4140806 in the Star Destroyer and part 14720 is called out as 6055519. Am I missing something somewhere?

Thank you,
Eric

I really want to build this but every time I click on a store in the buy bricks tab I get an invalid parameter message box. Happens on all the stores offering this kit. Any ideas anyone??¿¿

Amazing MOC !

Would anyone happen to have the overall measurements of the falcon while mounted on the stand.  I would like to build a display cabinet but I haven't built the falcon yet.  Thank you

OK here is a Youtube video of my issue with the 13 hole beam short of connecting I would so appreciate it if anyone can let me know where I went wrong.
Thanks in advance, Bob

Can someone please help me out with the below?

"Hi folks I have been trying to find where I made an error in the assembly of my stand preventing the 13 hole beam in step #13 Page #2 of the BI from connecting to the upper end I know it's probably staring me in the face I have been comparing my assembled photos with the BI but it is eluding me I really need another set of eyes. Please use link to my G Drive below for comparison images. 



Thanks, Bob"

I just received my parts from Bricklink, I'm putting it together tonight.
In the meantime, can I show you my stop motion video on the building of the Falcon?
