Adirondack Cedar Bench and Planters Set

Rating

I was looking for a plant stand for my kitchen but found nothing that would be "perfect". When I saw this I thought about what I could do to make it work and it does! I painted it the colors of my kitchen and I use the bench for putting all of my potted plants on. I enjoyed making the pots that go in the boxes and it looks great, everyone who sees it compliments on it!

I bought 2 sets and inserted a trellis in each of the 4 planter boxes. Makes a great screen when fully planted. Assembly is a breeze, and though small, these benches make a great stand for additional potted plants.

I purchased two planter benches. They are of average construction, and look like the picture. I didn't realize they were not stained so I had to purchase a stain/sealer and do this myself. With this additional cost and labor, I don't think they were a particular bargain. However, once stained and sealed they do look nice on my patio. It's too soon to evaluate durability.

I bought this item to block off the edge of our patio from steps going down to our basement, as we do not yet have a railing. Shipping was super-quick (it arrived within days!) and assembly super easy, just take it out of the box, position the planters and push the center piece into place. I knew from other reviews that I couldn't plant directly into the planters, but that was okay. I put a large, potted varigated holly in one planter and a ponytail palm in the other and it looks great. HOWEVER, the "bench" in between is much better suited for displaying more plants than for sitting - it's not wide enough for 2 average sized people and definitely not for anyone who may be heavy-set. Since we're not able to use it as seating (and it is advertised as a bench) I gave value and durability 3 stars each - would have been 5 if you could sit on it w/o worries!

Very nice looks great on my cedar deck. I have stained them and planted the flowers in so it looks great.
