What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing dimensions conflict: the details field gives 89D x 76.5W x 89H centimetres, while product copy gives H89cm x W76.5cm x D37cm. The overall depth is therefore inconsistent. Check the selected listing before allocating space. The stated worktop height is 80cm.

Customer feedback describes the table as good quality, easy to assemble and sturdy, with positive comments on appearance, function, size and height. This fits its listed role as a compact potting station with a raised worktop and storage, though the conflicting depth figures make customer comments about size less useful for planning a precise space. Aggregate ratings are mostly five- or four-star, but do not establish how the table performs in any particular garden.
