Hi everyone

does anyone here have experience with this company selling orchid benches?

Home

They look sturdy but I don't know.

I haven't had any experience with them, but I thought I would say they sure look nice! I would love to have something like that if it wasn't for being tight on money.

I have 3 tiered benches that were made quite awhile ago. They are heavy and have wheels attached to the bottom. Once you have plants on these guys they are really heavy. I have mine on a pool patio and move them around esp when it is raining and I want them to get a drenching. ( Bungee cords hold tham in place or they would topple off.) Otherwise they are under an overhang.

I saw this guy at Redlands but did not closely check out his benches. If you go this route I would see if he can attach a rim along the bottom to attach wheels. He is in Sunrise so it may be worth a trip up this way.

I have a friend that is probably checking him out also.

Lorraine,

Hi! I went to RF orchids for a drive and Hello!! they were selling these shelves. They are SUPER DUPER sturdy and they look to be very good quality. I love the rim on them--they will prevent pots from flying off. RF is more pricey than online, so I'm going to order these online directly from the manufacturer. :)

wow! those are awesome... they have rims! but i don't think the perforated sheet is suitable here as we have rains a lot and sometimes it gets really hot... genius design anyway!

Let me know if you decide and need info on where to get supplies. I hook one end onto the back of the pot and come under the shelf and up to hook the front. Nobody goes anywhere.

I got a notice that RF is having a Special Summer Sale on Fri, Sat & Sun this week. I might try to get there Fri.

There was a rep from this company selling these shelves at the last TBOS show/sale...and if I didn't already have multiple shelving systems in the room, I would've been bringing some of these home...they're very nice! :Tup:
