Alden Design Wooden Garden Potting Bench with Sliding Tabletop, Oak

Beautiful potter's stand! We actually used it as a drink station for my daughter's baby shower and it was an amazing accent to the overall decorations. The wood is sturdy and the sliding shelves each held 5 gallon juices (while extended) which are heavy. I thought we would give this away after but love it so much I'm keeping it to use for its intended purpose.

This little bench is cute, sturdy, and lightweight, all attributes I wanted for my small tool bench/work station. It would make a good craft bench, potting bench, coffee bar, or outdoor bar station for a patio. It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to assemble. The assembly instructions are pretty vague, so be prepared for that. I left screws loose until I was sure whatever section/step I was working on was correct (I did have part of step one reversed, so I was glad I’d worked that way). The parts fit together well. The door to my bench had a slight split in the top, and looked as if it’d been glued, but it was not highly noticeable, so wasn’t a big deal to me. I would suggest using a small drill bit to pre-drill the little shelf attachment (where the back board attaches to the two upright/vertical boards), as I did have some minor splitting issues when screwing that together. This is being kept in my garage, so I’m not staining it at this time. But I would definitely stain or seal it if kept outdoors, because the wood is fairly soft/lightweight.
