Verdura 6-Tier Plant Stand

The Verdura 6-Tier Round Plant Stand from Delva Home stacks six circular platforms up a solid wood frame, so a collection of pots occupies one footprint instead of a whole windowsill. The striped painted finish across the tiers is what keeps it looking designed rather than utilitarian.

Vertical is the practical argument. In a flat or a small house, six plants side by side is a lost surface; six plants stacked is a corner. The round shape also means no sharp corners in a walkway, which matters in a hallway or beside a sofa.

Solid wood gives it the rigidity to hold full pots of wet soil without flexing, and it is rated for indoor and outdoor use, so it works on a balcony or a patio as well as in a living room or a study. Use saucers under pots to protect the timber, and keep it out of standing water.
