One Piece. Two Unique Ways to Style
Every Nested Plant Stand + Pot arrives ready to assemble and style:
4 Easy Steps. No tools required.
Assembly Guide:
-
01 | Unbox Both Panels & Screw
Lift the two panels out of the box and set them on a soft, flat surface. Remove screw from packaging.
-
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 | Set The Screw
Drop the screw into the connecting hole and tighten it with a screwdriver. This is what steadies the piece and holds the two panels true.
-
04 | Pick Your Orientation
Decide which way to style your piece, nested or stand. Add the pot, your favorite plant & then step back and enjoy!

Most Common Questions
How can the Nested be styled in two different ways?
The piece works upside down as well as right side up, and looks like a different object each way.
Nested | the vessel sits down inside the wood. The two forms read as one, low and composed, at 12" wide and 10" tall.
Stand | you flip the wood over and set the vessel on top. Narrower at 9" wide, taller at 18", and much more of a statement piece.
Same object, same materials, two unique silhouettes. Nested is the look most people start with; the stand version is there whenever you want more height.
Can i get a discount if i buy two, so I can style the nested both ways at the same time?
Absolutely! The Nested Plant Stand Duo is made for you:
- two stands
- two spun-aluminum vessels
You can style one nested and one as a stand and never choose between them.
The pair looks remarkable together: the same piece in two orientations, at two heights, side by side on a console or split across a room. It’s the most complete way to own the Nested.
Does the Nested 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 Nested. But, we are working on it, so stay tuned! For now pick them in person from a local nursery or plant shop.
Can I buy the Stand without the Pot?
We don't offer it that way and we'd argue that's in your favor.
The pot was specifically designed for the stand, down to the curve where the two pieces meet. There's no pot on the market that will pair with the stand as perfectly as this one does.
So, the vessel is included as standard rather than sold separately. There's nothing left to shop for after this. No hunting for a pot in the right diameter, no ordering two and returning one, no settling for something that's almost the right proportion. The piece arrives complete because it was designed to be that way.
What size housePlant fits in the Nested?
A plant in an 8-inch grow pot is the sweet spot — sized to sit neatly inside the Nesteds' 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 Nested best, see our plant guide on the blog.
Where’s the best place to buy a houseplant for my Nested?
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.
I'm not sure if this will work 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.
