Keyword: diy acacia wood plant stand
Cost: $40

Equipment

  • Super glue or E6000 glue

Ingredients

  • 1 Ikea PS plant stand
  • 3 acacia wood plate
  • 8 flat socket cap screw optional
  • 8 connecting cap nut optional
  • 3 clamp optional

Instructions

  • Cut your acacia wood log into four equal pieces. 
  • Then, use your saw to cut a hole in the center of each piece, large enough to fit your plant pot.
  • Use E6000 to glue the wood plates to the flat brass cap nuts and use clamps to hold them in place while they seal.
  • Sand the edges of the holes you just cut, as well as the outside of each log piece. This will help prevent splinters.
  • Now it’s time to attach the legs or casters.
    Drill four small holes in each log piece spaced evenly apart. 
    Then, screw in the legs or casters, using two screws for each.
  • Finally, place your plant pots inside the holes and screw them into place with the large screws.

Notes

Be sure to use a washer between the screw head and the pot to prevent any water damage.
I regret all of that work and in hindsight would just build the stand as-is and glue the wood plates on top to save time.
If you have a few extra minutes, we recommend sticking to our tutorial since it is sturdier using screws instead of glue.
