Is this table sturdy enough to plant large planters on the table surface? I do plan to store planters on the bottom shelf, so that should anchor it.

Depends on how much they weigh. It is very sturdy and strong, but some planters are very heavy.

I have not tried to place large planters on the table. I rather do this kind of planting on the ground either sitting on a stool or standing.

I would say it would definitely be strong enough. Fill the planters and them remove them to another location. Bottom can be used for storing other empty pots. For the money, it is a good value for novice gardener.

I believe the table is sturdy enough. Since we have been using our table, it has been used alot for big potting jobs with no problems. The construction of this product surpassed my expectations, especially for the price!

I think it stabilizes the table, but I am not totally sure; it may be sturdy enough on its own 4 legs. Try building the table without it to find out for sure. It also depends what the table will be used for. We are using the table for displaying house plants. Sorry I don't have a definite answer.

They're pretty stable, the number of shelves shouldn't compromise it's stability I'd think. They would be good for outside use, depending on where it would be you may need to weigh it down at the base though.

As long as it's not very heavy. If its large or heavy, you may have to place a pole (like athe size of a broomstick) across perpendicularly across the top shelf & hang the planter(s) on it.

My guess is that it would be loose and not stable. My planter fits snug on a 2x4 so it's held in place.

Seems pretty sturdy I have a plant on top shelf. I have it behind my couch and my 9lb cat jumps on it without any problems. I have a large glass ornament on another shelf and knick knacks on the other.

We have a plant on our Strathwood table that weighs about 20 lbs..Though the table is somewhat sturdy, I dont think the frame of the table would hold 80 lbs..

My son put the table together some time ago but I will answer your questions as best I can. The table does need the bottom shelf for stability and all the wood has been stained. I will say it is a good sturdy table, just a little shorter than I thought. We are pleased with it. Good luck!

I used only 4 shelves from the two units I bought and made 1 bench from the upper leftover shelves. If I had tried to make 2 tables they would've been very wobbly, in my opinion. The legs really should be anchored in the holes of another shelf to be sturdy enough to hold 40 pounds.

I have two large African Violets on the top of mine and several smaller plants on the lower shelves. It all seems quite secure! I hope this helps

No, it's not stable enough. I had to flat grind the bottom of mine so that it would be stable enough to stand upright on it's own. Otherwise, a simple shacking of the table would make it fall over.

Maybe an inch or so.If the plant is heavy and/or you use this outdoors, you may want to look for something sturdier.The wheels did not hold up on mine and the bases warped.

I have a plant that weighs 65 pds on mine and it holds up well. It is a very sturdy plant caddy.

I put the shelf on and just sit in front of it. It's reasonably sturdy though, so maybe it will be okay without the bottom. I just put my feet on the bottom shelf. :)

I have a lot of weight on it....all my shirts (short and long sleeve), all my jackets, a lot of my heavy shoes (boots), blankets, sweatshirts, and few things on the top shelf, so it can withstand a lot of weight. The bars are good for hanging, so hanging plants will probably be fine. I don't know about adding wheels though. I can't remember if wheels came with it, and I don't know if you could even add them on your own. I don't think so. It really like it though. I've never had a problem with it.

very sturdy.....mine has been in my patio holding plants with heavy pots. No sign of sagging.

I would say you should install the bottom shelf for stability if something heavy or valuable were to be placed on the table. From what I recall, everything was stained if you choose to not attach the bottom shelf. I hope this helps you.
