Eli's Potting Bench with Copper Drawer Insert and Removable Lid in Tabletop - Old-Growth Redwood

Our first potting bench was made in August 2006, for a woman named Eli. Eli made the suggestions for the location and sizing of the shelving and we took it from there. We added a few things over the years, like the option to add casters and to size it anyway you need. But, it remains Eli's original design.

Eli's Potting Bench Options

The potting bench can be customized to any size you need— the shelving and drawers can be modified as needed as well. For example, order with just one shelf during checkout and save $50. Don't see the exact option you're looking for? Just let us know what would work best for you.

Copper Inset

If you'd like a copper inset in one or both of your drawers, we are glad to offer this optional add-on. It's not necessary for the integrity of the drawers—the redwood will probably outlast the copper. But, it's a nice touch and we've had requests for this in the past, so we now offer it in the shopping cart.

Removable Lid

A removable lid can be added on the tabletop over the drawers. This allows you to scoop soil up from or dump soil into the drawer below in one movement. You can add a removable lid to the left, right, or both drawers. The lid can be placed either with the lift to open/close either toward the front or back of the potting bench. The lid is reversible.

Single Shelf Option

To save a few dollars, you can purchase Eli’s Potting Bench with 1 shelf instead of 2. Simply select this option in the shopping cart.

Super-Strong Casters

You can also add on super-strong casters that are rated to handle 320 pounds each, and they lock in place! You can add a set of four casters to your potting bench for $79 during checkout. The casters are 4" tall.

Custom Engraving

Mini Foot Stool with Engraving - Old-Growth Redwood

Add a custom engraving to your potting bench for an additional $30. Each character (letter or space) takes up approximately 3/4". See example to the right, shown on our Mini Foot Stool. Option available during checkout.

Potting Benches Dimensions

42"L x 21"D x 64"H. The work area is a parquet tabletop. There are two drawers and two shelves. The two top shelves are at 50" and 64"H and are 10"D. The tabletop work area is 36"H— if casters are added, we shorten the legs to maintain this tabletop height. All measurements (such as the work area height) can be adjusted; just let us know what you need.
