Questions About The Planters Chair
- What are Versailles planters?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Versailles planters are square-shaped containers used as planters for ornamental trees and plants. Traditional designs feature ball finials and ring hardware on each corner and paneled stepped feet below. André Le Nôtre designed them in the 1600s for growing Louis XIV's orange topiary trees at Versailles. Find a collection of Versailles planters on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What a hanging planter is called depends on its design. Ones made out of woven materials or metal designed to resemble weaving are hanging baskets, while planters formed out of ceramic are sometimes referred to as hanging jardinières. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage hanging planters.
- Can I grow bamboo in planters?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, you can grow bamboo in planters. However, there are specific qualifications that make some planters better than others for growing bamboo. Ideally a wooden planter that provides added insulation and drainage is used for optimal bamboo growth. Browse a range of planters on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021The best plant for shallow planters is vegetables. Because vegetables such as lettuce and onions do not have deep roots, they grow well in several inches of topsoil.
- What is a cast stone planter?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A cast stone planter is a vessel used as a growing environment for flowers, succulents and other plants. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The term cast stone refers to the material used to produce the planters. It is a mix of fiber clay, magnesium and concrete finished to resemble carved stone. You'll find a wide variety of antique and vintage planters on 1stDibs.
- Are concrete planters good?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Whether concrete planters are good is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, many people choose concrete for planters because of its durability and appearance. Find a collection of concrete planters on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Yes, ceramic planters can be good for plants, especially if they feature drainage holes that allow excess water to run out. However, some ceramic glazes and finishes may contain chemicals that shouldn't come in contact with edible plants. Using a vessel designed specifically for use as a planter will typically allow you to avoid these substances. On 1stDibs, find a variety of ceramic planters.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Yes, you can generally use cast iron as a planter because the material is durable and sturdy. However, you may need to drill drainage holes in a cast iron piece that wasn't intended to function as a planter to allow excess water to exit the vessel. On 1stDibs, find a selection of cast iron planters.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Whether ceramic planters are good for outside depends on their design. While ceramic is a weather-resistant material, some paints and glazes may not be able to withstand the effects of sunlight, moisture and extreme temperatures. As a result, you should only place ceramic planters intended for outdoor use outside your home. On 1stDibs, find a range of outdoor ceramic planters.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, concrete planters do absorb water. Concrete is porous and will absorb moisture from its environment, which will cause moss to grow on the outside of the planter. You’ll find a variety of concrete planters from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021If your planter boxes aren't made of a very porous material, you should add drainage holes to avoid accidentally drowning your plants or flowers. However, if the material is porous, the water will naturally pass through.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Because proper drainage is essential to a healthy plant, whether the plan is indoors or outdoors, drainage holes are a necessity. This prevents root rot, fungus, and bacteria from forming in the plant.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The difference between a lounge chair and a chair is specificity. A chair is the general term for furniture typically designed to seat one person at a time, and there are many different kinds of chairs, including dining, accent and office chairs. Lounge chairs are another example of a specific type of chair. They are chairs with a footrest that allows you to elevate your feet while sitting. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell if a chair is an Eames chair, take a look under the seat or cushion. Authentic Eames lounge chairs are manufactured by Herman Miller and Vitra. If your Eames chair is a Herman Miller original, look for the legendary manufacturer’s specific logomarks on the product (these logomarks can be found on the company’s official website). There is also the manufacturing label, which is usually found under the seat or cushion (unless a former owner removed it). All of the classic Herman Miller designs are paired with a certificate of authenticity. Some designs may also have a medallion attached to certify their authenticity. You can then check trusted online resources to determine if the information on the label is correct for the style of chair (and more info on its construction is available on the official Eames website). You won’t see screws outside of the wood shells on an authentic Eames lounge chair, and prior to the 1970s, original vintage Eames lounge chairs were made with no more than five layers of plywood (during the 1970s, the chairs were made with seven layers). Find a variety of authentic Eames chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023The difference between an accent chair and a dining chair comes down to function and design. An accent chair usually goes in a seating area, and makers craft them with comfort in mind. As a result, most accent chairs feature cushioning and upholstery and are characterized by generous proportions. The purpose of a dining chair is to provide a place to sit while enjoying a meal. Usually, dining chairs are lighter and smaller than accent chairs for easy maneuvering. While they may have padded seats and backrests, dining chairs generally aren't as abundantly cushioned as accent chairs. Explore a large selection of chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A club chair is called a club chair because the accent chairs became popular in the interior décor of gentleman's clubs in France. The original name for the club chair is “fauteuil confortable," which translates to "comfortable chair." You'll find a collection of club chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The difference between an Adirondack chair and a Muskoka chair can be easily explained in that garden armchairs are called Adirondack in the USA and Muskoka in Canada. While they both have short legs, bent reclining seats, wide armrests and high backs, the Adirondack chair is 2 inches higher from the floor and 2 inches wider. The Adirondack chair uses a flat yoke at the back while Muskoka might use curved yokes. Shop for an Adirondack chair or Muskoka chair on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The difference between a side chair and a Parsons chair is style. A side chair is a very commonly used dining chair. The form of a side chair may vary, but the constant is the lack of armrests to keep hands free for eating and to save space at the table. A Parsons chair is a type of side chair that features upholstery on the seat and back. Shop a selection of dining chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023There is no difference between a club chair and an armchair; a club chair is a type of armchair. An armchair is any chair with arms, while a club chair is a wide, comfortable type of armchair that is typically clad in leather and features thick upholstery. All club chairs are armchairs, but not all armchairs are club chairs. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of club chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021The difference between a task chair and an executive chair is that most task chairs will have adjustable seat height as well as swivel and tilt functions. Task chairs are lightweight and mobile but are not intended for long periods of continuous use. Executive chairs are meant to be more comfortable and are usually designed with high backrests. An executive chair is intended for long periods of use compared to a task chair, which in some cases may be armless and isn’t going to provide the premium comfort that can be expected from an executive chair. Task chairs are also typically less expensive than executive chairs. Find a variety of antique, modern and contemporary task chairs and executive chairs on 1stDibs.
