Q: What is the distance between the bottom shelf and the work surface? Also, what is the overall height of the piece?
submitted by BM - 2 years ago
A: --overall height from ground to top of trellis 55 inches. --height from ground to bottom of first shelf is approximately 7 inches and the shelf itself is approximately 2 1/2 inches thick, height from and height from ground to top of first shelf is approximately 9 3/4" inches. Top shelf attached to trellis is mounted approximately 15 inches above work table surface, and the shelf is approximately 1 inch thick, --height from ground to work table surface is 36 inches. -- the overall work table surface is 46 inches x 20 inches, but is notched in to 18 inches at each end in back where trellis is attached. --there are small round plastic disc "gliders" in the center at the bottom of each leg, but they are quite small and don't raise the height of the legs so seems unlikely that they would protect the bottom of surface of the leg from exposure to outdoor elements. This is heavy well constructed piece (requires two people to lift box), it is very well packaged and the directions to put it together are straight forward. Unfortunately there are no "care instructions" included in the packaging so don't know what to do to maintain the wood which will be located outdoors on patio.

A: Hi AlwaysTakeTheBike - Great question. The table is attached with nails and screws and can not be lifted out. We hope this helps! - Taylor

Looks great but after one summer it’s fading and looks really weathered. I plan to put it away for fall/winter but It couldn’t handle the sun or rain over summer.

Heather - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
Purchased this beautiful black potting bench and was pretty easy to assemble. Very sturdy but unfortunately started peeling and cracking only a few weeks of being outside. Unfortunately not made to be left outside, to be in the sun or to be rained on, this potting bench does not hold up to the elements. Quite disappointed and felt a little misled with this product. I'd love to post photos but unfortunately my photos are not loading.

Very easy to put together, but you will probably need to 2 people. I have had it outside for 3 days now. It's in a shady area of my backyard. We had light rain for about 30 minutes yesterday. I went out this morning and paint is peeling as well as the top is bubbling.

Love the look and design, but the quality is not suited for outdoors. After one rain, the black stain came off- with a simple wipe of a cloth— no cleaner used. The shelf was cracked upon arrival. If it’s for looks from afar, it’s great- for a short amount of time. Unfortunately needed to return.

Potting bench does not hold up to sun and rain
3 out of 5 stars
JT - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
The size, color, and design of this simple potting bench were perfect for my back patio needs. Assembly was straightforward and I appreciate the little details like the side hooks for tools and back lattice. The quality is the only thing that leaves something to be desired. After 2 weeks outside on the sun and a little rain, the black stain is already flaking off and the wood shelves are warping. It seems better suited for use on a covered patio or indoors. Had I know this would happen ahead of time, I would have sealed it myself before using it outside.
Nice patio addition

Shannon - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
Overall I think this is a nice addition to my patio for the price (I got it on sale). I added a layer of clear coat after assembling it due to reading other reviews. We've had several days of rain since I put it outside and so far it's holding up well. The only thing is that when you are assembling it you have to be very careful because the coat of paint is very thin; I accidently scratched off the paint in a few places just moving it around.
Great bench!

stephuh - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
in theory this is great. was a nice addition to my porch. however, when we had the house painted I had to move it and put it at the back of the house where there wasn't outdoor roofing to cover it and the paint started chipping and wood splitting and the top shelf started to bow at the corners. only a few months old so very disappointing that i had to paint it again to before putting it back on the porch. for the price would hope for better overall quality and durability. we will see how long this lasts in general.

I was really excited about displaying my plants on this outdoor potting bench but the finish is already ruined after one rain. I have since tried to spray it with a clearcoat rustoleum product but I think it will only get worse.

I bought this to use as an outdoor buffet/ beverage bar and to store extra pillows and cushions on the bottom shelf. It has plenty of space underneath to stack.

Christine - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
I purchased Smith and Hawken bc I so like the brand. The size is just what I wanted and it was easy to put together. I was disappointed how soft the wood is. Be careful screwing it together as I almost split a couple of the slats. The top shelf front slat is bowed but that won’t affect the utility. Overall, I do like the bench.

MegZiggy - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
We really like the design and the functionality of this. We put it on our patio and use it half for gardening and half as a beverage cart. The only thing I didn’t realize is that you should seal the wood before you put it outside. After a few rain showers the paint was chipping off the flat surfaces. So just seal it with a clear coat and you’re good to go!
