Solid wood and MDF
Solid wood such as sheesham, mango and deodar is strong and repairable, while MDF is smooth and cheaper but swells if wet. Check for knots, cracks and uneven grain, and tap to check for hollow panels.
Finishes and polish
PU polish, lacquer and oil finishes protect wood. Oil gives a natural feel and needs regular reapplication, while PU gives a hard, glossy or matt finish. Ask for water-resistant finishes for plant stands.
Stability and load
Check that the stand does not wobble, with joints glued and screwed, not just nailed. Plant stands hold wet pots, so check load, 10 to 30 kg per shelf, and put heavy pots low.
Sizes and use
Plant stands are 60 to 120 cm tall, bedside stands 45 to 60 cm and display stands vary. Measure the space and the largest item. Leave room around plants for air and light.
Indoor and outdoor use
Indoors any good wood works, and outdoors choose treated or hardwood with weatherproof finish, since sun and rain crack untreated wood. Use saucers to protect floors and stands from water.
Care
Dust regularly, wipe water spills and re-polish when dull. Fixing and assembly should be done carefully, with wall fixings suited to the wall type and the load checked against the maker's rating.
Before you decide
Check joints and finish, choose solid wood for load and protect from water. Take photos of the room, measure the wall or floor space and sketch where each item will go, then compare at least two quotes on the same list. Check finished examples if you can, and keep a note of colours and sizes so everything works together. Buy in stages if budget is tight, starting with the pieces that matter most. Measure the space and the largest item you need to fit, check the material, finish and load rating, compare at least two quotes or products on the same specification and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask for photographs of the actual item or a sample, confirm delivery and assembly in writing and inspect the delivered piece for damage before the delivery person leaves. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices that hide thin materials or poor finishing.
