Questions & Answers

Can this be kept outside without an overhang in the rain?

Answer This Question

I have this potting bench outside on my deck with one half protected by an overhang and the other half open to the elements. There is a huge difference in how the cedar looks 2 years later. The half exposed is turning gray while the half sheltered still looks as good as it did when I assembled it. I also have a cedar raised bed next to the bench which is also exposed but which I stained. It looks great with no visual graying from sunlight or rain. I would say if you're going to have this out in the open and still want it to retain its unweathered look then you will want to stain or paint it. I get that it's frowned upon to do this to cedar but it you don't its going to eventually turn old and gray.

    I would recommend either staining or sealing the wood if you leave it outside unprotected. I have had mine outside for over a year now unsealed under a covered porch, and it still looks like new. I love my bench, so I know you'll really enjoy yours!

      Yes, it is ceder. With mine, I also treated it with Varathane Spar Urethane for extra protection.

        The potting bench is manufactured from Western Red Cedar which is an outdoor structure wood. Left without stained or sealed, Western Read Cedar naturally will turn a silvery grey. OLT recommends a coating to protect and prolong the life of the product.

        By|Feb 11, 2019

          Yes. I've had mine outside for 2 winters & there has been absolutely no damage from the weather.

            Can the bottom shelf be higher than what is shown in the description?

            Answer This Question

            From the ground to the top of that BOTTOM shelf is approximately 10-1/4 inches. I haven't checked the description as it's been several months since I ordered my potting bench. I also had a plastic pan left from my old potting bench that I put into the drawer on this potting bench to catch the rain and that works well. I didn't want to leave rain sitting in the wooden drawer on this new potting bench. Maybe you can find a dishpan to fit the drawer unless you have a roof over your potting bench to protect it from rain.

            You could adjust it; however, it comes with pre-drilled holes for assembly at its current height..

            By|Mar 21, 2019

              No, the bottom shelf is at a fixed height.

              By|May 5, 2023

                All the parts are machined, and the screw holes are set for only 1 height. You could try to raise the shelf by screwing in the shelf brackets at a higher level, but I would not recommend it.

                By|May 5, 2023

                  It’s predrilled but it can be higher with a drill. Warning though, the dirt pan has fallen out of mine.

                    The height from the floor to the table is 35 inches.

                    By|May 4, 2023

                      Bench is 35" high across front and the back is 52-3/4" high to the top of unit.

                        Well made. All the pieces were cut to proper size. The directions were clear. I did add a bit of construction adhesive to each joint before screwing them together. I also finished it with a Spar Urethane for additional outdoor protection. It took me less than 2 hours to fully assemble it.

                        The potting table is nice but is built with individual planks that are not level, making the top shelf not level in some places. The bottom shelf is more level but has at least one plank higher than the others. A flower pot cannot sit on two planks when one plank is higher than the plank beside it. The planks also dip next to the cut-out on the top shelf for the drawer. The potting bench is usable but not well put together for the cost. I stained the potting bench and intend to put it to good use. I've had the potting bench for approximately one month. The store was nice enough to finish putting the table together after it was shipped to store, and I really appreciated their help. If the planks were even I would have given the table the highest rating.

                        Assembly was easy and straight forward. Material was of very good quality and resulted in a light, easy to move work table. Good looking table and wife loves it!

                        Great product
                        My husband and I put this project together, (I could have done it myself, though) The top was already made and the pieces were easy to figure out, already predrilled for the screws and nails, and the board lengths were precise. There were enough screws and nails sent along with project but my husband did add more screws to the finished project just to support it alittle better, at different areas. We love it!! I finished it with Thompsons Waterseal and after it dries it will be ready to set out on my patio to allow us to work off of.

                        Great Design
                        Great design and good looking; my wife loves it! About two hours to assemble but not difficult. Hinged cover over "sink" to hold potting soil maximizes work space as does shelf above and below.

                        You must be familiar with basic carpentry techniques to assemble the bench. The quality of materials is great and the manufactured pieces are nearly perfect.
