Better Homes and Gardens Buy It: Gracie Oaks Fallah Outdoor Bench, $112 (was $150), Wayfair The bench can be detached if you need to move or store it, and customers say it’s “incredibly easy” to put together with useful assembly instructions. One reviewer commented that they swap out the greenery in the planters each season, including pumpkins for fall and flowers for spring, to make their yard look festive. Keep in mind that the bottoms of the planter sections are open, so you’ll have to place pots inside.

I highly recommend the bench!” “This is a great accent to your porch,” commented one customer. “Just throw two potted plants/trees in there and it looks really unique!
