During the winter months, I have to bring in my maidenhair ferns and other porch plants, and I never had one place that I could put them. This narrow table is nice looking and the right length and width to fit in front of my dining room windows where the plants get lots of sun. It holds all the plants and is perfect for its purpose. When spring comes again, I can fold up the table and put the plants back on the porch, and it may find another purpose.This definitely met my needs.
