Are The Least Expensive Plant Stands At IKEA Worth Buying?

Potted plants can be a fabulous addition to your home and yard. There are so many to choose from with unique ways to customize and decorate your home. There is also a great way to accessorize your potted plants with plant stands. They add height to plants that reach for the sun, create depth with their varying heights, and complement your pots well. They can also be expensive. Yet, the cheap ones might not be worth buying. However, IKEA's least expensive option may just be worth it. 

IKEA has a variety of plant stands to choose from with some really affordable options. There are different materials like wood, plastic and metal, plus varying heights and price points to suit any aesthetic and budget. The least expensive choice on their website, the DAKSJUS plant stand, is only $7.99, made of bamboo, and 8 ¼ inches high. It looks like a great plant stand for the price, and according to buyers, it's one worth considering.

Customer reviews indicate that, yes, this is worth the low price. It has an overall rating of 4.6 on the IKEA website with only one 1-star rating. The user says the cross section doesn't have support and to be careful when picking it up. Other 2- and 3-star reviews mostly note their displeasure with the lack of sizes, not the quality of the product. The 4- and 5-star reviews rave about the plant stand — its appearance, ease of assembly, quality, value for the money, and whether it works as expected.

The stand has the ability to be turned upside down to give you two height options, so there's versatility for its price. It's also made of bamboo, an environmentally friendly material. There are many other ways to make the switch to bamboo for a more sustainable home, but this stand is a great start with its low price point. Additionally, the stand is lightweight which means it's easy to move. Potted plants are heavy enough without the added weight of the stand, so, again, a great feature for the cost.

You can DIY a simple and stylish wooden plant stand, but if you're looking for one that won't break the bank or require carpentry, the DAKSJUS at IKEA is a great choice.
