It seems like an injustice to simply call this a "potting bench" because it is a beautiful piece of furniture that can do so much more than serve as a station to pot plants! I wanted something simple, but sturdy, and that could serve as an outdoor sideboard when I'm entertaining. This Acacia wood is elegant and beautifully designed, and will certainly come in handy when I step out on the patio with a tray of margaritas and a charcuterie board! I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.  It took some real skill to put it together. I needed to hire someone to do it, but still worth every penny.  I highly recommend the Acacia Potting bench.
