IKEA products that can be used for plants

I purchased some IKEA products for my plants! These products are not specifically made for plants, but they prove to be pretty useful. Some would call these Ikea plant hacks haha. Everything is under $15, with the exception of the rolling bench that was $89. Most of these are just for displaying plants. However, I think this presents plants in a creative and dynamic way compared to just placing them on shelves.
best,
benji

    I need to make more friends like this. I love my friends and I feel blessed to have them in my life. But our vibes are so different now. Sometimes I forget that there's people like me who enjoy spending quiet time with plants, projects and MAYBE one other awesome person.

As for the positioning of the bench, the plants can grow big against the window, shading your room and providing back drop from your balcony. but also, so much more is possible. Great ideas, thanks for sharing.
