ITA Premium planting table with galvanised worktop

The premium planting table from ITA is ideal for hobby gardeners . The product is designed for use in the garden and impresses with its sturdy construction and large work surface. Thanks to its height of approx. 78 cm, it is easy to work standing up and avoid constantly bending down. The planting table is available in three different colors – natural, brown or grey. The large storage space of the product was particularly impressive in the practical test – in addition to the galvanized worktop on the top level of the table, there are two storage areas underneath where soil or flower pots can be stored, for example. The plant table is just as easy to assemble as described by the seller. The table can be assembled within 30 minutes with the help of the illustrated step-by-step instructions provided. The metal hooks to be attached to the side, which are also included in the scope of delivery, are ideal for storing tools within easy reach. The product is manufactured to the highest EU quality standards. Each of the plant table’s feet is fitted with a metal fitting, which provides additional stability and robustness to the product. Improvements could be made to the packaging: the plant table arrived packed in a cardboard box without any protective filling material such as paper. After unpacking, there was a tiny splinter in the wood in one small area, which may have been caused by transportation, but does not detract from the functionality or appearance of the product.

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

After unpacking, there were several parts on the workbench: the individual wooden components as well as the galvanized worktop, metal hooks, all the necessary nuts and bolts and clear step-by-step instructions. The scope of delivery also included wooden ground spikes, which can be used to securely anchor sheeting or fleece in the ground. A screwdriver is required for installation, which is not included. However, as it can be assumed that every household has a screwdriver at home, everything is included in the scope of delivery so that you can start assembling the plant table straight away. The packaging of the wooden table is slightly off – the product could be padded a little more or wrapped in protective, environmentally friendly paper. After unpacking, there was a very small splinter on the wood in one place, which may have been caused by transportation. Fortunately, the chip is barely visible and does not affect the use or aesthetics of the product.
