This is the second Abbottsmoor Plant Stand I have ordered.   I love the look of it, but is not weather proof.  I live in Florida and have it on my lanai in an area that is not covered.  It rusted after only a little over a year.  With this new plant stand, I spray painted it with Rust-oleum and hope that does the trick.  It is a beautiful piece and if you have it in a covered area, you should enjoy it for many years.
