Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

I had been shopping for quite a while for just the right size stand to place my orchids on the porch. They were all too overwhelming or too small. This rack is perfect. It shows the orchids and makes it easy to care for them yet stays out of the way. I also bought the trays that go with them and the water does not go on the floor.

Great Design but flimsy construction....

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

This item is exactly what I have been looking for to display plants on my deck. However, when filled with plants, it is very shaky and I am not sure that it will hold up through storms but hope it exceeds my expectations.

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

this item was incredibly easy to put together, did not need any tools. fit perfectly in our dining area. takes up less place than small tables and stools that I had our plants on, and looks great! am planning on using on our patio next summer. It is a great way to consolidate small pots and conserve place.

It's a little flimsy, but stiffens up when the weight from plants placed on the shelves comes into play

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

This shelf with a quarter round on each end is a fabulous way to "summer" my houseplants. I like the thick coating on the metal because I think it will keep it from rusting easily.

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

I bought a similar stand from you 25 years ago and it's still going strong. I'll be lucky if this one lasts 5 years. Awfully pricey for what you get and made outside the US.

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

Perfect for what I needed, a place for my houseplants. Need the trays for stability for the plants/pots and to catch overspills. I like that I can move to the outdoors during the warm summer months!

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

The plant stand was very easy to assemble. The only problem I really had was having to bend some of the shelves, and their assembly parts into shape. [...] looked like the parts were not welded at right angles.I am using the stand to display my plants indoors, and it has added a very nice touch to the living room.

Not so great--parts don't fit together tightly so I added some tape to get a snugger fit. Other than that, this is a great product.

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

This unit assembles very easily with each piece fitting into its pre-formed slot. There are no screws to tighten. As per the warnings from some previous purchasers, because there are no screws it also disassembles itself if you attempt to move it. So it is very important to set it up where you plan to use it and keep in mind that when you move it, you will have to reassemble the unit.

I purchased the black version to use inside during the cooler months and will move it to my deck in the Spring. The unit is nice-looking and coordinates well with the other black accessories in my den. It is also somewhat delicate. As a result, I would not recommend it if all the plants you want to display are in large terra-cotta pots. A mixture of terra-cotta and plastic would work best.

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

I like it and it's easy to put together but it's also easy to come apart when you try to move it. The design would be better if the pieces snapped into place. You have to slide the rack rather than pick it up to move it because all the supports will fall off. It does however look very nice and is very functinal. It's also fairly pricey.

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

I use this our on my lanai for my Orchids. Open shelves, therefore nice and airy. Easy to move if need a different location. Shelves could be just a little bit wider. I did find it less expensive after purchasing, thru different resource.

Comments about Straight Plant Terrace:

This plant terrace exceeded my expectations from the minute I took it out of the box. I have had so many plant stands that were flimsy, poorly constructed, or just didn't hold enough plants. The design of of the plant terrace allows for excellent ventilation and the tiers have shelves that are wide enough for the largest planters that I own. This is a dream to put together and for a klutz like me, that's important. I think it may have taken me 5 minutes or so and was very user friendly. I wish I had room in my house for more of these terraces because I wouldn't hesitate to buy more. Excellent item and well worth the price.
