This is a perfect little table that sits in the corner right outside my sliding glass doors heading out to the lanai.  While YOU may call it a plant stand, I call it a cocktail table.  You see, once doesn't want to spill one's cocktail while opening the door whilst balancing an hors d'oeuve plate.  Or taking the platter of steaks out to the grill.  Or your diet soda and hot dog.  Basically, it's a much-needed but stylish third hand that looks lovely and is cocktail-spill safe.  All my neighbors have regular old tables by their back door.  I like my better but don't tell them that...I have a weather station sitting on the bottom shelf.
