I love this potting bench. I bought it to use as a server for when we eat on the patio, and it’s perfect. It is a little on the smaller side to use for a cookout, but I actually ordered 2 due to the size and my patio configuration. I’m waiting on the second one to arrive but I’m very pleased so far. It appears to be weather resistant and sturdy and is much less expensive than a traditional serverbuffet. Highly recommend.
