Two stands ship together, and between them they carry 4 large mesh shelves, 8 small ones and 4 hanging hooks - a whole plant wall rather than a single ladder. Large shelves measure 22 x 10.5 in at 44 lbs, small ones 10.5 in square at 22 lbs. Mesh lets water drain and air circulate under the pots. Each stand rises 73 in on a 10.5 in footprint, so the display goes upward rather than outward. The pair weighs 36 lbs in metal. Assembly is required and a manual is included.
