A potting station that works vertically, standing 60-in tall on a footprint of only 42-in by 18-in, so the storage climbs the frame instead of spreading across a path. A 3-tier open shelf sits above the work surface for pots, seed trays and bottles kept at eye level, and a bottom rack measuring 39-in by 14.5-in takes the large plants and long tools that will not go anywhere else. The tabletop is the clever part. It measures 40-in by 18-in and flips up, revealing a hidden storage compartment of 21-in by 17-in by 3-in underneath, which is where the small tools, labels, gloves and twine live between jobs rather than migrating indoors and getting lost. Closed, that same surface is a clear bench for repotting and mixing. Load ratings are set out level by level: 100 lbs on the tabletop, 77 lbs on the bottom shelf and 22 lbs on each upper shelf. Carrying them are sturdy wooden legs joined by tight screw connections, which is what keeps a tall narrow frame from racking when a full bag of compost lands on the top. Solid fir wood construction gives the piece exceptional resistance outdoors, and every rack uses a slat design rather than a solid panel, so watering does not leave standing water on the shelves and the open boards add a touch of elegance. At 31 lbs in a natural finish, the bench moves easily and its space-saving footprint suits patios, gardens and indoor spaces alike. Assembly is required, and the box holds one gardening worktable with an instruction sheet.
