Verdura 6-Tier Round Wooden Plant Stand

A plant collection outgrows windowsills quickly. The Verdura solves that vertically: six round shelves arranged up a wooden frame, so a dozen pots occupy the floor area of a single side table instead of colonising every flat surface in the room.

The shelves are staggered around the frame rather than stacked directly above each other, which means light reaches the lower levels from the side and plants underneath are not permanently shaded. It also makes watering straightforward, because every pot is reachable without lifting the ones above it out of the way.

Solid wood suits it better than metal for indoor use; it is warmer against a wall of foliage and does not sweat with condensation. Assembly is straightforward with the supplied fixings. Keep the heavier pots on the lower shelves so the center of gravity stays low, use saucers to protect the timber from water, and place it on a level floor. It is a plant stand, not a step or a shelf for people to lean on.
