54" is awfully high for a potting bench. Unfortunately, I don’t think I could work at it comfortably.
Any idea how this would hold up if left outside all year? It would be somewhat protected on a deck, but this is the Oregon coast and it’s going to get wet. A lot.
It reaches 54" when the 2nd shelf is attached to the top to make a tool rack. The height from floor to top shelf is 36". It is made of powder-coated steel, which is resistant to chipping, scratching, and corrosion, so it should be OK for outdoors.
does it come with wheels
I don’t know about the rust issue but the 54 inches is the height with the shelf up in the back to hold potting tools. Watch the video and you will see that the top shelf is about the height of the BBQ in the background.
This one does not.
I, too, thought that the 54" referred to the height with the shelf attached as a backboard, but the folded height is listed at 51" which sent me back to the land of confusion.
Watch the video and you will see how it unfolds to a shorter height. The 51" height is due to how the shelves fold up in halves. Watching the video below the product listing will truly answer your concerns.
