Description

The Wood Potting Bench combines great looks with high function to create a piece that's ideal for use in the garden or as a serving cart for dinner parties. Wood slats along the back panel could be used to hang tools, or you could slip some wine glasses in between and make this bench a mini bar for your patio. The smooth tabletop surface offers a workspace of 41.37L x 17.73W inches. This top slides off to reveal additional storage underneath. Drawers are ideal for storing small garden tools and/or dining utensils. A full-length shelf underneath is perfect for potted plants, bags of soil, or dishes for your party. It all depends on how you want to use it. Wheels make for easy portability. This bench is constructed of responsibly harvested shorea wood that is mold-, mildew-, rot-, and insect-resistant. Order the Wood Potting Bench today for a beautiful outdoor accent piece with unlimited possibilities for use.


Shorea is possibly the best wood choice for outdoor furniture. While related to Burma Teak, this hardwood grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries, making it considerably less expensive than teak. Because shorea contains an abundance of natural oils, it's dense, heavy, and hard, and it's highly resistant to rot, bug infestation, wear, and marring.

I needed a work space for my African Violet Collection that I grow inside. This gem fits the bill perfectly. It is ample size but does not take up too much space on my balcony. It is made of good sturdy hardwood - I got blisters screwing it all together! ;-) But other than that, easy and straight forward to put together. The wheels make it easy to move around. I like the sliding top -- when I slide it over, I can put my tub of putting soil in the open space & it stays put.
Very attractive. Highly recommend.

Good design but received with broken pieces that I decided to fixed instead of having to deal with returning it. You should ship with better boxes to avoid these kind of issue. Also I nut was stripped (it was probably something that was already returned to you but you should really checked everything before sending it out again)

Comments about VIFAH Wood Potting Bench:

Putting it together was a challenge. The directions are not clear. But, it is not that hard to figure out, however, there are 14 screws that are impossible to put in. The holes are not big enough. My husband and I stripped some of the screws trying to get them in with the stupid tool that comes with it. I had to go to[@] to buy more screws. I put it outside today, and during the heat and rain, the drawers swelled so much that I cannot get them open anymore. It looks nice, and I intend on using it as a server. It holds 14 wine glasses. Mine isn't like the picture, as my glass rack only goes part way, not the whole length.

Comments about VIFAH Wood Potting Bench:

I bought this bench mostly to use as a side table near our BBQ grill and for back yard parties.

The instructions very poor you only get a diagram so be careful to pay close attention to the diagram wrt the drill hole positioning. It is critical to get the correct alignment to make sure the hole are facing front or rear per the diagram. Open the box and cut the sides to lay the panels flat. This makes a good work surface to build. You want (2) people for the last (2) sections of the build.

On my bench the top rack and middle bracket beneath the rack were warped. I was forced drill some additional holes and use some additional screws to smooth out the bowed pieces. This little reinforcement is in the back of the bench therefore it is not visible from the front. The other screw holes aligned fairly well although not as good as you might find with a piece from IKEA. The bench screws together with an allen wrench which they provide. However the allen wrenches are lesser quality and tended to bend a bit as I applied a lot of torque.

      Comments about VIFAH Wood Potting Bench:

      It did come quickly, but parts were missing (pegs for handle) and leg pieces were significantly warped so that allen wrench screws were stripped trying to get them in...so they hang half way out. I had to get my drill and pepper it with wood screws to put it together. Quality is very poor.

        Comments about VIFAH Wood Potting Bench:

        We are using this bench as an entertainment cart. The quality is just ok. It will work for our needs for a couple of years. We'll see how it handles the midwest weather. The color is pretty and I like the overall concept. Very difficult to put together since hardware was missing from the box. It was in our price range and we will make it work. Spend a little more money if you can.

        Service and delivery comments:

        Outstanding delivery service. Overnight!
        However bench was missing parts. One of the drawers sticks horribly. My husband had a terrible time getting it put together. He had to go to the hardware store to buy screws and bolts that were missing from the shipment.

        Comments about VIFAH Wood Potting Bench:

        The potting table holds all of my gardening tools & more! It's wheels are an extra bonus to do gardening outdoors! The ONLY thing I would change about it would be to raise the back panel to accommodate longer tools & open up some more space for the work area.
