I’m all about succulents lately. What a great use of an old dresser to give your yard that “lived in” look. I’m going to have to pin this one. Good job!

Is there a worry about the timber rotting over time? Or did you seal it somehow? Cheers Chris

I simply love this idea, but I have a couple questions. Shouldn’t you water proof the wooden dresser so that it doesn’t rot away with the elements? Plus what do you do with them in the winter? Wouldn’t they freeze when it get’s cold outside?

It looks great, but I’m afraid that it won’t hold up very long. That was a 1930′s wood veneer dresser (a fairly common antique, and worth up to $50-$200 depending on condition). You should expect the hide glue holding the veneer and the dovetail joints on the drawers to give out pretty quickly. I’ve seen what water does to a piece like this, and the warping and decay is pretty fast. It will become a slug and sowbug condo as the moisture seeps under the veneer, and probably won’t last you more than a year or two before it becomes a pile of warped scrap wood. Next time you might want to either coat it with a water seal or exterior paint and put the plants in pots set in the drawers rather than in soil directly on the wood. Better yet, try something made out of plywood with nailed joints, 50′s to early 70′s rather than ’30′s. Late 70′s on you get more cheap chipboard, and that rots faster than the average compost heap!
