• SynonymスタンドNeutralA loanword for bleachers, lamp stands, and racks; the focus is on the supporting stand rather than a base like 「台座」.
• Synonym土台どだいNeutralRefers to a foundation or base, with the focus on the bottom of a building; not a display pedestal like 「台座」.
• Synonym架かWrittenMainly seen in written/formal prose: a single character for racks and stands, mostly in compounds like 「書架」 and 「担架」.

For the base under a Buddhist statue, sculpture, or trophy, use 「台座」, as in 「仏像の台座」. For stands in general use 「台」, for bleachers and lamp stands 「スタンド」, and for building foundations 「土台」.
