Embroidery stands

Apologies to begin with as I’m not quite sure that what I am looking for exists!

I am new to embroidery. I have completed numerous cross stitch kits in the past - mainly for new babies but they have stopped arriving.
Now I am older I am finding my hands ache more these days so wanted to try a stand. I have got a kit for a round hoop and also a square frame. Is it possible to buy a stand that will hold both shapes? Preferably one which I can use sitting on the sofa.
Once upon a time I could have tried looking in a craft shop but they seem to have disappeared.

Thanks

I used to use a stand similar to this, adjustable for hoops and frames.

You can buy embroidery stands from Crafty Imaginations online. They are by Nurge.

I use an Elbesse table clamp. They cost around £25-£30.

My favourite YouTube embroiderer, Sarah Homfray demonstrates here:

Thank you for the suggestions. Has anyone used a stand for using while sitting on the sofa? Not sure how ‘sturdy’ they would be.
