  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Versailles 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, 2022
    What 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, 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 ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    Whether 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 ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    Yes, 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 ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Whether 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 ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    Yes, 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 ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, 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 ExpertJanuary 10, 2025
    Willy Guhl planters are made out of a variety of materials. For these furnishings, Guhl tended toward industrial materials, which he bent and shaped into organic forms for a striking juxtaposition. Much of his work was crafted from either concrete or Eternit, a mixture of cement and asbestos developed by the Belgian company Etex, which, in the 1950s, commissioned Guhl and his students at the School of Applied Arts to conceive Guhl's now-acclaimed planters in the material. Find a selection of Willy Guhl planters on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    If 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, 2021
    Because 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 ExpertApril 5, 2024
    Yes, end tables are generally taller than coffee tables.

    The term “end table” is frequently used interchangeably with “coffee table,” and while these two furnishings have much in common, each table type offers its own distinctive benefits in your space.

    Your end table is likely going to stand as tall as the arms of your sofa, and its depth will match the seating. These attributes allow for tucking the table neatly at the end of your sofa in order to provide an elevated surface between your seating and the wall. End tables are accent pieces — they’re a close cousin to side tables, but side tables, not unlike the show-stealing low-profile coffee table, are intended to be positioned prominently and have more to do with the flow and design of a room than an end table, which does a great job but does it out of the way of everything else.

    Find all kinds of antique and vintage tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    The difference between a buffet table and a console table comes down to size and storage features. Console tables are usually less deep than buffet tables, so they take up less space behind sofas and along walls. In addition, consoles are less likely to have cabinets and drawers than buffet tables, which are designed to store dinnerware and serveware in dining rooms. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of buffets and console tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between a center table and a coffee table is usually size. Center tables tend to be larger-sized accent tables placed in the center of seating areas. On the other hand, coffee tables are smaller tables usually positioned in front of sofas and loveseats. On 1stDibs, find a variety of center tables and coffee tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between a snooker table and a pool table comes down to dimensions. Generally, a snooker table is larger than a pool table, also called a billiards table. The increased size is due to the fact that a snooker game typically uses a total of 21 balls, compared to the 9 to 15 used during a pool game. Both types of gaming tables have six pockets, but those on a snooker table are usually smaller than those on a pool table because snooker balls tend to be smaller than billiard balls. On 1stDibs, find a range of billiard and snooker tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a coffee table and a console table is in the design. A coffee table is a low table that comes in many shapes, such as surfaces that are rectangles, squares, ovals or circles. Console tables are taller and usually have elongated shapes, such as ovals, rectangles or semicircles. Placement is another differentiator between the two types of tables. Coffee tables usually go in front of sofas and loveseats, while console tables may be placed behind a sofa or loveseat or along a wall. Find a large collection of coffee tables and console tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a side table and a coffee table is mainly in the size and shape. Coffee tables usually feature larger tops but shorter legs. People typically place them in front of a sofa or a loveseat to rest books, drinks, remote controls and other items. Side tables also store items, but they are usually positioned beside an accent chair or at the ends of a sofa or loveseat. Shop a diverse assortment of side tables and coffee tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between an accent table and an end table comes down to how you use them. Accent tables function primarily as decorations and may be placed almost anywhere in a room. The purpose of an end table is to provide storage space next to a sofa or loveseat. Most people use them in pairs, with one placed on either side of the focal furnishing in a seating area. Find a large collection of accent tables and end tables on 1stDibs.
