How to evaluate the quality of products when buying?
Having decided on the model of the stand, it is important to evaluate the quality of the product (at least superficially). Basically, manufacturers make surfaces ideally smooth and even during manufacture, but on some models of forged supports they prefer to intentionally leave traces of a hammer and other tools.
All joints, as well as additional fastening parts should provide excellent strength and reliability. Check that the stand does not stagger. In forged models in all places of welding there should be no roughness, sharp edges and burrs.
The next step is the quality of the coating. Metal products are coated with special compounds that prevent the appearance of rust. Wood can also be painted or varnished. Enamels and paints of various colors are often used: traditional black, luxurious gold, restrained white, stylish silver. Of course, the colors can be absolutely any - it's all a matter of the taste of the customer and the author.
The paint layer should be even, without swelling and chips. All details and joints should also be perfectly painted.
Assessing the balance of the stand is very important - make sure that it stands firmly on the surface and does not tip over even with a light push.
Caring for such products is banal simple - it is enough to ensure the dryness of all surfaces. Be sure to wipe the shelves after watering the flowers, and the stand will serve you for many more years.
Original, tastefully selected coasters can give the interior sophistication and a unique personality, so be sure to take care of a decent support for your plants.
