Product Information
Full details
The Tom Chambers Ficus Plant Pot Stand is a versatile, heavy-duty display solution designed for gardeners and homeowners looking to elevate their planters both indoors and outdoors. By providing a raised base, it promotes superior drainage and airflow for healthier plants while adding a touch of classic, black-finished elegance to your patio or living space; however, users should ensure the stand is placed on a level surface to maintain maximum stability for heavier terracotta or ceramic pots.

FAQs
Can this stand be used on hardwood floors?
Yes, but it is recommended to attach small felt furniture pads to the feet to prevent scratching the wood surface.
Is the stand rust-proof?
It is weatherproof, but like all metal garden furniture, it is best to dry it off occasionally if left in standing water to maintain the finish integrity.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
While the stand is heavy-duty, it is recommended to keep the weight distributed evenly, generally suitable for standard-sized heavy planters up to 20-25kg.
Does the stand arrive assembled?
Yes, the Tom Chambers Ficus Pot Stand comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
Can I use this for square pots?
Yes, provided the base of the square pot fits within the footprint of the stand's legs and the center of gravity remains balanced.
Troubleshooting
The stand feels wobbly on my patio
Check if the patio tiles are uneven. If they are, use a small rubber shim or outdoor-rated leveling pad under the shortest leg.
The finish looks dull or dusty
Wipe the stand with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. If stubborn grime persists, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the stand requires no tools; simply place it on a firm, level surface. It is compatible with most circular and square plant pots, provided the base of the pot does not exceed the diameter of the stand's frame. To ensure the longevity of the black finish, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads. If the stand is used outdoors during harsh winter months, a quick wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent will remove grit and salt. If the finish is scratched, applying a small amount of touch-up paint specifically designed for metal garden furniture can prevent surface oxidation.
