Product Details
Your plants, finally at eye level.
Lift your houseplants up and out of the shadows, to the height where they read as a design statement rather than an afterthought.
Most plant stands ask your plants to stay low. Squat, close to the floor, tucked into a corner where nobody quite sees them. The Arches Plant Stand does the opposite.
At 34 inches tall, this is a modern plant stand with real presence. A pair of sculptural white ash arches, joined without hardware, holding a spun-aluminum vessel at the exact height where greenery meets the eye.
The silhouette is scandi-inspired and quietly architectural — open, light, slim enough that it never crowds a room, and tall enough that it changes one.
It's the answer to the empty corner. Every home has one: the awkward gap beside the sofa, the blank stretch next to the window, the space that's not quite big enough for furniture and too big to ignore. The Arches fills it with something alive — a composed, vertical moment that draws the eye upward and makes the whole room feel considered.
Choose one for a single statement, or a Set of 2 to frame a doorway, flank a console, or style two corners at once:
Single: 1 Arches Plant Stand, 1 spun-aluminum vessel, and 1 set of protective felt footpads
Set of 2: 2 Arches Plant Stands, 2 spun-aluminum vessels, and 2 sets of protective felt footpads
Designed by founder Jenn Braidwood and made in small batches, the Arches is a tall wood plant stand for people who think of their plants as décor, not just an afterthought.
Modern plant stand décor for every room of your home:
Living room decor — the empty corner beside a sofa, fireplace, or bookshelf, finally resolved
Entryway decor — a tall, sculptural welcome in a space that is usually all floor
Bedroom decor — soft height in a corner that would otherwise stay bare
Home office decor — a calm vertical anchor just off-camera, or just in frame
Dining room decor — greenery lifted beside a window, where the light already is
Bathroom decor — a spa-quiet corner moment, where humidity does your plants a favor
Hallways and landings — the in-between spaces that deserve more
Living Art | For Corners That Crave Something Different
The Arches is a sculptural piece designed to bring an empty corner to life. The only thing you have to do is add the plant.

Houseplant Care with Arches
How to plant, and how to water
The spun-aluminum vessel has a small drainage hole at the base, fitted with a watertight plug, so you can plant your houseplant two ways.
2Ways
Two ways to plant
Grow pot (recommended): Slip your plant, still in its nursery grow pot, directly into the vessel. No transplanting, no mess, and the easiest watering.
Direct planting: Fill the spun-aluminum vessel with potting soil, and plant your houseplant directly inside.
Watering with a grow pot
Step 1Lift the grow pot out of the vessel
Step 2Water at the sink, and let it drain for a few seconds
Step 3Slip it back into the vessel
Watering when planted directly
Lift & unplugLift the pot off the Arches and remove the watertight plug from the bottom.
Water at the sinkWater the plant at the kitchen sink.
Let it drainLet the soil drain completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
Replug & returnReplace the plug and return the pot to the Arches.
A small ritual, either way, and the one that keeps your plant and your Arches Stand looking their best.
Product Care
Designed to last. Made to be lived with.
Your Arches Plant Stand is crafted from solid white ash hardwood, small-batch made, and finished by hand. With a little care, it's designed to grow more beautiful with time.
A few simple notes from our studio
Keep your Arches indoorsLike all natural hardwood, white ash is happiest away from direct, prolonged sun and the damp of outdoor air. This is not an outdoor product.
Water at the sink, not at the standLift the vessel off the Arches before you water. See Houseplant Care with Arches above for the simple method.
Dust the wood gentlyA soft, dry cloth is all it takes. Skip harsh cleaners, and once in a while a light pass of hardwood furniture polish brings the grain back to life.
Keep the felt pads in placeThey protect the feet and your floors, and they make repositioning effortless.
Natural hardwood mellows and deepens over the years. That gentle change is part of the character, not a flaw. Cared for simply, your Arches is designed to be a piece you keep and enjoy for years.
Returns & Exchanges
Designed to be loved. Backed if it isn't.
If your Arches Plant Stand + Pot doesn't feel right in your space, you have 14 days from delivery to return or exchange it. Simple as that.
We design with craftsmanship, considered functionality, and longevity in mind. Our pieces are meant to live with you for years, not seasons. We want you to feel that the moment you unbox them.

Materials
Two materials. Chosen with intention.
Every Arches Plant Stand is composed of solid white ash hardwood and a spun-aluminum vessel. Nothing else — no visible hardware, no fasteners, no plastic.
Each material was chosen for the way it catches light, holds shape, and turns a houseplant into a piece of the room’s design.
Solid White Ash Hardwood
A North American hardwood prized for its pale, open grain and soft, natural tone. White ash takes finish beautifully and reveals a different pattern across every piece. No two are exactly alike. It’s the warmth in the design, the material that keeps the silhouette from ever feeling cold or industrial.
You'll feel the difference the moment you lift one. Solid hardwood has a real, substantial weight to it. The kind of presence you simply don't get from pine, plywood, MDF, or veneer. It's a quiet signal of quality, seen & felt simultaneously.
Spun Aluminum Vessel
The pot that sits at the top of the Arches is spun aluminum, not molded plastic or fragile, heavy ceramic. Spinning is an artisan metalworking process that shapes a single sheet of aluminum over a form, producing a seamless, lightweight vessel with a clean, modern silhouette.
It won’t crack if it’s knocked, it won’t chip at the rim, and its matte finish sits in quiet contrast against the warm wood. A small drainage hole at the base, fitted with a watertight plug, makes watering simple however you choose to plant.
The pot is included as standard — there’s nothing else to source.

4 Easy Steps. No tools required.
Assembly Guide:
01 - Unbox Both Panels & Remove Spacer
Lift the two panels out of the box and set them on a soft, flat surface. Remove the wooden spacer in the channel.
02 - Check Orientation & Slide Together
Check the included assembly sheet to ensure your panels are positioned in the correct orientation and then simply slide together.
03 - Apply Felt Pads
Press a felt pad onto the bottom of each foot. They protect the base of your stand and the floor beneath it, and they let you nudge the Arches into position without dragging.
04 - Add Pot, Plant & Enjoy
Set your vessel on top, settle your plant in, and step back. In a minute, an empty corner becomes the most composed part of the room.
Not in the course of ordinary life, no. But, we’ll be honest with you about what it is.
The Arches is solid white ash hardwood, and once a potted plant is settled into the vessel, the piece carries real weight. A passing bump, a brush from a tail, or someone squeezing by isn’t going to topple it.
That said, this is a designer piece, not a piece of gym equipment. A full-speed collision — a kid sprinting through the room, a dog rounding the corner at a gallop...will most likely bring it down.
Treat it the way you’d treat any beautiful decorative object: give it a spot outside the traffic pattern, where it isn’t getting bumped and knocked, and it will stay exactly where you placed it.
Does the Arches include a plant?
It doesn't and here's why:
We haven't figured out the best way to ship larger houseplants that look most striking in the Arches. But, we are working on it, so stay tuned! For now pick them in person from a local nursery or plant shop.
What size houseplant fits in the Arches?
A plant in an 8-inch grow pot is the sweet spot — sized to sit neatly inside the Arches’ spun-aluminum vessel. Anything much smaller and the plant gets lost inside the vessel. Anything larger and the grow pot won’t drop in.
If you find a bigger plant you can’t resist, plant it directly into the vessel using the direct-planting method in the Houseplant Care section above. But watch your scale.
For a closer look at the varieties that suit the Arches best, see our plant guide on the blog.
Where’s the best place to buy a houseplant for my Arches?
A local, independent plant shop or nursery. Every time.
Plants at independent shops are typically tended to by people who actually know them: properly watered, properly lit, and chosen to thrive in your region. That care shows up in the plant you bring home. Healthier, hardier, and ready to settle into your Arches Plant Stand without skipping a beat.
As a small business ourselves, we always prefer supporting fellow small businesses. Big-box stores can work in a pinch, but plants there have usually traveled further and sat in less attentive conditions before reaching the shelf.
Bonus: the staff at independent shops are some of the best resources you’ll find for picking the right plant for your space. Tell them you’re styling a plant stand, and they’ll point you in the right direction.
Jenn knows a ton of beautiful plant shops all over the country so feel free to email her at hello@braidandwood.com for a suggestion if you want one.
How do I water the plant in the Arches stand?
The spun-aluminum vessel has a drainage hole with a watertight plug, designed so watering happens at the sink rather than at the stand. See the Houseplant Care section above for the simple method that keeps both your plant and your Arches looking their best.
I love the Arches Stand, but I'm not sure how to style it in my space. Can you help?
Absolutely. Send a photo of your space to hello@braidandwood.com and Jenn will personally write back with styling guidance - placement, spacing, plant pairings, and how to make your Arches feel like it belongs.
It's one of the quiet perks of buying from a founder-led studio.

Thanks so much Kim! I see that you added your own pot to the stand instead of using the pot that was included. We definitely recommend using the pot that we designed for the stand. It will be a much better fit and offer a lot more stability! Here to help if you have any questions.
They make a nice addition to the living room. I have them in two different corners, bookending one long wall.
Love my arches plant stand so much!! It modern and classy! Gets so many compliments from guests. Can’t wait to fill the matching pot! The free gift airplanes are so cool and so much fun!!
Impressed with the quality and ease of assembly. So great to have the perfect pot included. I opted for a faux plant, but a real plant would be lovely as well. Very classy stand.
Love these beautiful, well-made planters! I only have one of the set planted and it looks terrific in our Hawaiiana themed guest bedroom. I'm looking forward to using the other in our dining space. They were easy to install and look very elegant. Very happy with the product and the delivery experience.
I needed something for a lighted cubby. My home is transitional in style and I absolutely loved these. I haven’t gotten a plant for it yet so the look is not completely done.

Hi Laura - Thank you so much for leaving a review and adding a picture. Your space is so beautiful! I noticed you have the Arches Plant Stand styled upside down! :) Be sure to turn it around before you add your plant, everything will look a lot better and the pot will fit more securely. I'd love for you to add another picture once you get it all styled. Thank you so much for purchasing from a woman-owned small business. Appreciate you!
I love my Braid & Wood nesting planters and wall hangers. I have gifted the nesting planter and the wall hanger to friends and relatives. They love this unique, quality product. Also I have several in my home as well. Great gift idea or a wonderful addition to your home.

Hi Carlene - Thanks so much for your sweet review and the beautiful picture of the Arches Plant Stand! You actually have the plant stand styled upside down. :) Just wanted to let you know. Everything will look a lot better & the pot will fit more securely once you turn it around.
Store owner replied:
You might love it even more if you turn it around! You have the stand displayed upside down. ;) Looks cool that way too though. Haha.
I love the simple elegant design of the plant holder
I am so obsessed with the Arches Plant Stand + Pot. When I first purchased it I was so nervous to spend that much on a plant stand, but it was just what I was looking for. I usually am pretty cautious about spending that much on something I have never seen in person in a shop. But if you purchase this stand and pot, it will be worth every penny you spend. The quality is outstanding!!! It's so well made, so gorgeous and I love how little space it takes up. I cannot wait to purchase the Nested now. Buy this....you WILL NOT regret it!
It’s lovely and the right height. It’s a little different texture from the shorter one which I originally thought I could pair. But no problem, I just put the other ones at a different location.
the arches plant stand is one of my favorite pieces in my home - you can tell it’s been thoughtfully designed and the material is very high quality. It goes well with any style interior & makes me happy to look at every day. Highly recommend!
I absolutely love the Arches Plant Stand + Pot! The design is stunning—modern yet warm—and it adds such a beautiful touch to our space. The quality is outstanding, clearly made with care and attention to detail. I loved it so much I got two, and they look perfect in different spaces in our home. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking for both style and quality!
I first ordered the arches plant stand with pot and I was so happy and excited that I ordered the frame wall art and pot. The product quality is amazing—the wood, the design, the pot size, the wood finish!!!! I love Braid and Wood. They have a customer for life now!!!
I have never been happier to receive a planter and the most magnificent stand. I’m in the car writing this review but I’ll write another one with a picture. I will be a return customer for life!!! ❤️❤️❤️ your products!!!
I just love the simple Mid-mod/Scandi/Japandi design of these plant stands and pot. So well made and easy to assemble and fast shipping. I was looking for something to showcase my ferns and these fit the bill. And I love supporting a woman’s small business. Jenn’s customer service is great and she responded to my messages so quickly. Can’t wait to see what new products Braid & Wood designs next.
I love all of my purchases from braid and wood! This one is a perfect addition! ... notice in the background to the left, I have some that hang on the wall
I have ordered numerous items from Braid and Wood. I have the arches plant stands for myself and just bought one again for my daughter. They really compliment my home decor. I can't say enough about how well the products fit in my home. I have had a lot of compliments.
