Can I put a sturdy dish on the bottom to hold another plant?

If you mean a heavy pottery dish, along with the weight of a heavy potted plant--there would be a concern that over time the metal would bend; remember the plant above will drip onto the one below. You could try this, it will support the weight. I sprayed mine with clear urethane, a couple coats, when it first arrived, so it will hold up to the moisture outside without corroding, as all metal stuff does.

Hi, Murphy: Yes, I would say you definitely could do that, providing it didn't weigh a "ton". It is such a nice holder for plants and if you were careful what you put into it I am pretty sure it would work out fine for you providing it wasn't a huge plant. Good luck!

Yes. We have several pots and pans hanging from it and a heavy ceramic bowl on top for decoration but you could also put a heavy pot on top.

I did not attach legs to the bottom of this planter because once you fill it with the soil, it becomes very heavy. I put it on the floor of my patio and the plants grow very well. Actually I use it as my kitchen.

I don't think that would be a problem. I have a large pot on the top shelf and smaller pots on the other ones. This thing is pretty sturdy.

It is a very sturdy plant stand. I think it would work. I have a very large, very heavy, ceramic pot on it with a Japanese Maple planted in.

The shelf is pretty and if the holes were right it would hold a plant. If you are handy and can fix it(I am not) you could fix it. Istill use it but i have to balance the things I put on a shelf.

I think yes but you still have secure it with nails because when it's filled with soil it becomes very heavy and wobbly. great planters however. Mine were stunning last year i bought 4. :-)

We put a book or a glass of ice water on the top shelf. It could also hold a small to medium sized potted plant. It's good weight glass, but it's still glass.

It would be difficult to put it in a smaller pot - the mesh is firm and there is bracket welded to the bottom to hang the basket on the edge of the pot.

Yes, if their diameter is less than 3-7/8". However, the back end of the rack is not directly supported and would probably sag over time given the weight of those vegetables, unless you were to support the back end by using a short screw to hold it up against the supporting shelf. That would make the rack a little harder to slide onto and off of the shelf, if that is your intention (i.e., rotating the items to use the oldest first).

Yes, they would be perfect for that. These are actually outdoor type shelving, so it should hold the plants without a problem.

I think you could as the instructions tell you to put it on the bottom rack itself.

No! This would not support heavy weight. This plant stand mainly is for plants.

The cabinet has the room to store pots and pans. I'm not sure if the bottom of the cabinet would hold a lot of weight.

please direct question to seller - i am utilizing one of mine for plants and the bottom sheves for baskets holding cat food, dog treats, etc. the other rack holds a radio, some collectibles - i can say that the two i purchased are very sturdy and can hold some weight.

You could...but I don't know how long they would hold up. Maybe succulents that didnt' require much water. I would look elsewhere for planters though.

You could easily use baskets on the bottom shelf, but I would make sure that they are not rough on the bottom, as they may scratch the shelf.
