I would recommend the Folding Iron Patio Corner Shelf for anyone who is looking for a simple and space saving way to have plants. I live in a town home community so I needed something that could sit on my deck. I looked many places including several garden centers and none had anything like this item. In addition, Overstock sends the item to you in a very timely manner.
I was surprised at how small the top shelf is - you can't quite tell in the 2-D photo. I am using this shelf for herbs. At the moment I have 3 pots on the lowest shelf, 2 pots on the 3rd shelf, 1 pot on the second and first shelves. In addition, the distance between the shelves is not uniform. It would be really helpful if the dimensions of individual shelves and the distance between shelves were published.
Just as with any metal item that you place outside - I would imagine that this too will rust over time. At this moment, it looks great and I have received several compliments on the shelf. Again, if you are looking for an attractive, space saving shelf for your patio or deck - this is it!
