Sturdy Plant Stand

Showcase your thriving houseplants or patio greenery with this three-tiered DIY plant stand, built for both style and strength. This step-by-step woodworking plan guides you through creating a durable and attractive stand that works beautifully in a sunroom, covered porch, or indoor garden space.

Crafted from easy-to-work-with poplar, this plant stand features slatted shelves for optimal air circulation and drainage — ideal for supporting heavy pots and promoting healthy plant growth. Thanks to solid wood joinery, including dado and tongue connections, and a sturdy rail-and-slat shelf design, this stand won’t warp or sag under the weight of your plant collection.

With generous shelf spacing, it’s easy to access and tend to each plant, while the slat construction allows water to drain freely, preventing pooling and moisture damage. Whether you’re an experienced woodworker or weekend DIYer, this project is a great way to build functional furniture with a clean, modern aesthetic.
