Stylish and modern planter with a stand and rounded ends, this Crisitina Oval Pedestal Plant Stand has been designed to make a great spot to display your plants, indoors or outdoors.

It's made from solid steel, with a UV-stabilised polymer finish. Plus, it's easy to assemble. We couldn't ask for more.

Pack in more plants with this 2-tier Plant Stand with Trellis. Position it against a wall for extra stability then go to town with pots and hanging baskets, training vines up the trellis support. The slatted tiers help with drainage and there's plenty of room underneath for tools and compost. The reasonable spacing allows for good ventilation and helps plants enjoy sunshine and growth. Plus, the slats are good for drainage. We love this smart, garden solution.

Customer Review: "So good was the unit for the back garden that I ordered another for the front garden as well. I just added a metal hook onto the wall to help secure it in place as well. It's a brilliant display stand, just what I was looking for; no problems with assembly either."

Customer Review: "I bought these on a whim and I’m delighted with them. I - actually - only wanted one for a plant on my stairs, they are perfect for small spaces and give a little extra height to a pot plant hence I have it on my small stair landing space. And have Used my other one in another small corner. Very sturdy and well worth the price... a nice touch to any interior."

This 6-Tier Wooden Ladder Plant Stand is a multi-tiered wonder, primed for an on-trend Urban Jungle. Mammoth in size, this stand is constructed of natural pine wood without giving out any smell, which is solid – yet sturdy. It will do a good job displaying your plants, flowers, cacti and succulents, but may need a little extra help to stay looking gorgeous, such as yearly wood staining and a firm fix onto a wall or fence – so, it won’t shake.

Choose between two, three or four tiers with this bamboo plant stand. We love the 4 Tiered Bamboo Plant Stand from Amazon, which lets your plants take centre stage. The natural-looking accessory has been given some harmless varnish treatments, making the stand surface smooth, waterproof and easy to maintain. Plus, the bamboo texture adds a 'nature luxe' look - that we love. A perfect fit for homes, offices, apartments and more, this tower structure design makes all the difference - and is much more stable.

Customer Review: "I really liked this little stand, it was easy to assemble and looks quite attractive. I have displayed my plants on it and have found it quite sturdy. The wood is a rich colour and I find it compliments my room perfectly. A very good buy."

Designed for plants or small objects; the upper and lower shelves fit pots with a 23cm diameter. Made from coated steel to resist corrosion, this Amazon Basics Plant Stand features recessed edges to prevent dripping. It’s easy to assemble: simple, elegant and can be put together tool-free. Versatile, this plant stand is ideal for living rooms, balconies, gardens, terraces or patios; it can also be used as a side table. Fix up this plain stand with billowing blooms.

Customer Review: "I've been after a plant stand for ages but they're all either cheap MDF or out of my price range. This thing is great! It's really quick to assemble: slide the two frame pieces into place, clip in the 2 round bits and add the trays! There's a screw hole on the top crossover area so you could secure it further if you wanted. The weighted base is a great addition, especially if you've got a heavy plant on top. It's not going to topple over any time soon and it feels sturdy enough that it doesn't wobble about if you accidentally nudge it.

If you're moving it, don't forget that the top tray isn't actually attached, and try to pick it up using that! I've moved it around a few times with that heavy concrete planter on it without issue. It looks great too - sleek, not bulky so it fits nicely behind my side table, and the bottom tray is useful for storing junk out of the way (if you're me) or another plant (if you're a tidy person). If I had the space, I'd order several more."
