Know before you buy
Yes, the galvanized steel is designed to resist rust and moisture, making it ideal for greenhouses or covered garden sheds. However, we recommend keeping it under cover to maintain the finish of the reclaimed teak components over time.
The shelf slides back to expose a built-in compost store, allowing you to scoop potting mix directly onto your workspace. It keeps your soil contained and minimizes mess during the potting process.
At 53 lbs, the table is sturdy enough for standard gardening tasks like repotting plants or arranging containers. Its lightweight construction is intentional, allowing you to reposition it easily within your workspace as needed.
The table arrives with some assembly required. Because it is handmade, we recommend following the included instructions carefully to ensure all components, including the drawers and sliding shelf, are properly aligned.
Reclaimed teak is naturally weather-resistant and durable. To maintain its appearance, you can occasionally apply a teak oil, though many gardeners prefer to let it weather naturally to a soft, silvery-gray patina.
Yes, the included tray is designed to be removed from the table. It is perfect for carrying multiple small pots or seedlings from your potting station to your garden beds or greenhouse shelves.
