This will work perfectly on my porch for my small planter wall. I love the stainless steel bucket for soil and drawer where I can keep my seeds and other necessities. My husband put together easily with electric screwdriver. We did agree we need to seal the bench before leaving it outside since the wood is likely not pressure treated. I plan to paint it a darker black, it’s a charcoal gray currently. Really looking forward to clearing out some cabinet space in my kitchen and putting my pots on this bench!
