Wrought Iron Plant Stand Pricing

Wrought iron plant stands comes in a variety of prices. It depends on how large you want your plant stand to be and the design of the plant stand. If you're looking for a very small wrought iron stand, let's say for a candle or a small vase or plant, then you'll be paying a very small amount of money. On average as cheap as $5-10 for a decent sized stand. However, most will be far more expensive than that. The average price for a regular wrought iron plant stand (let's say about three to four feet high, relatively simple design such as three posts curving inward to a round stand on top) is around $100-140. You can get smaller tiered plant stands for bathroom products and small plants for around $50 dollars at some stores. If you really want to go all out and spend a fair amount of money, then you could go with the ornamentally designed several tiered wrought iron plant stands. These are 4-6 feet tall, can fit numerous vases, plants, and flowers, and will cost you anywhere from $140-250, maybe more for the really crazy ones. They're worth it if you consider how many smaller wrought iron plant stands you'd have to buy if you wanted to fit 5-10 plants on your stand.

Why is Wrought Iron used in Plant Stands?

In order to answer that question we need to look at what exactly wrough iron is, and how it is made. Only then can you begin to understand why wrought iron is a very attractive metal material to be used in plant stands and other pruducts. First of all, wrought iron is normal raw iron that has been wrought or worked into a commercial grade material. Through a purification process, the iron is rid of most of the carbon, making the metal very pure and commercial grade. However, wrought iron is never completely pure, as it has some slag mixed with the iron. This gives wrought iron a grainular look similar to wood that can only be noticed if you are looking up close at it. This can also make wrought iron plant stands have a more elegant and older look them, making it an ideal material to be used for plant stands.

Wrought iron is not as hard as steel, so it therefore will not make a good cutting edge. This can also be a plus as it is less likely to harm your harder surfaces outside and in your home. Steel and other surfaces will always win out against wrought iron plant stands, but that could be bad if you love your plant stand a lot. Ornamental ironwork is also a parallel term to wrought iron. That is because wrought iron is used for a lot of ornamental products, such as plant stands.
