Re: Quick and easy potting table

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Milly1. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your project.

What a wonderfully simple solution! I love how functional it is, and it's at the perfect height for potting up plants. I trust your sister was very pleased with the project.

Well done.
