Great for young plants that need a little extra humidity/heat, but any normal size pot will make the shelves bend.

We are using this for an afterschool program to help the kids learn the basics of gardening food products. We hope to have them grow spices and small vegetables all winter long.

I bought it specifically to use indoors for an early seed starter project this winter for my 2011 kitchen garden. Once I assembled the plant tower, I couldn't stop myself from putting in some rose pots and fancy planters on the top 2 racks to brighten up the room. Love the compliments I'm getting for it.

I got the mini greenhouse to keep my pets away from my plants. I want to have a winter herb garden and be able to start my outdoor garden seeds next spring. There are 3 cover selections that came with the unit which is nice.

I love the cute design and capacity. It doesn't take too much space but I can put all of my plants in it. It was easy to assemble for me. It is very stable no matter if I put it indoor or outdoor. Also, it is easy to move it indoor or outdoor. I am very happy to have it! It will be perfect if each shelf is taller, so my plants will have more room to grow.

Getting ready to start my garden inside. It's nice to have everything in one place.

The concept is great and I really like the plastic cover, shade cloth, and darkening cloth. But it could be a little sturdier. I realize you are trying to keep the cost down but sturdiness is really important.

I have not had a chance to use it yet but I have assembled it. I did not think it was that easy to assemble. It kept falling apart. I think part of the problem is that the pipes did not go in far enough into the plastic holders to stay put. Also the all the pieces should be made of metal instead of plastic -- things would hold together better.

Also I think the wire piece at the tip top is REALLY flimsy. Also there should be a piece going across the width at the top so one can put a shop light on it but I can't figure out how to do it now. It is advertised as useful for indoors but one has to use lights if using indoors. I am curious to see if the other bars are sturdy enough to hold a shop light without the whole thing falling apart.

I think it will have to be weighted down if used outdoors so it won't blow over in the wind.

PLEASE take these comments seriously. I know what I am doing as I garden a lot and understand planting principles. I work in the Horticulture Department at a University. I would recomemnd it if it was made sturdier.
