granitegneiss, what nice healthy plants you have! Your husband did a great job! We have a store-bought stand that's similar, but it doesn't have a fine finish. It has a green-tinted finish for outdoors, however we keep it indoors next to a bay window.

In case anyone wants to know I got ours at Gardener's Supply Company online. It's called "A-Frame Plant Stand". I don't work for the company but for those of us who like this design but don't have an expert carpenter in the family it's a quick solution for maximizing plant real estate near a window (I placed our stand on two white wire plant stands that blend with the wall and are hidden by the kitchen table).

I highly recommend adding a trailing plant that twines around the stand. I've attached a photo of a trailing fuchsia that looked great on the stand. We also had a trailing begonia that did very well at the stand growing 2 1/2 feet in one season and providing a show of red blooms for several months.
