hello, i am looking for some pictures of benches that are
used as display tables for bonsai. i want something mildly
asian looking, and easy to build. i can't afford to buy
anything elaborate so i must go to the store and build one.
i saw the pics posted in the other bench thread and i
don't particularly mind the cinderblock thing but since
this is going to be out in my enclosed front porch where
people sit, my wife says it has to be something
"presentable." i'm lookig for something small, about 5-6'x
18"x 2-3' tall. these are the dimension most conducive to
the space that i have and the amount of sunlight my babies
will recieve. this is kinda strict guidelines i know but
all recommendations are appreciated. even just links to
pics of asian tables would be helpful.
thank you all and goodnight.

How about those clay pipe flues? You can get them in different lengths. I know
some use them as bases for monkey poles.
