Thanks for the suggestions. This looks like a shoe rack, but the shoes would have to be a size 18 or so. I looked at the store display businesses online and didn't see one. It may have been custom made for a particular business. There are lots of store display items that would work for something like this. The curves can be sawed off to use it for a bottle tree or something else. I'll probably plant some plants in it besides the empty pots, and hadn't thought of the coconut hair. It would work nicely. Thanks for the weed cloth tip. Sounds like a good idea for any of these basket type plantings. Storing dolls or animals on it would be fun. They could be climbing every which way on it. It would be a good clothes line also. If we can get it together soon enough we may light it up in the front yard for Christmas. I spray painted it green today and will post a photo tomorrow on this thread. It looks a lot better already. It comes apart just by unthreading it off the pole. There are 3 sets of 2 levels. They're pretty stable and could be used separately on posts or a tabletop. It's amazing how many great ideas people here come up with. Now who wants to go on a dumpster store rack hunt, lol?!

It would be great if these are M and Z bulbs. I have had really good experiences with the health of their bulbs...just not true to color but always interesting and worth the time and money.

What a wonderful surprise. Enjoy it for all of us north of you :)

Is your kiln programmable? And did you get a manual with it? When I got mine, I also bought a book to teach me but everything I needed to know to get started was in the manual. If you have any questions, I would be willing to try to help. You will love it once you get the hang of it.
