Abstract

A convenient easy-to-maneuver assembly provides a user-friendly gardening center, work bench and cart. The assembly can be readily arranged to fit the needs of the user. The preferred assembly features a table with an ergonomic handle, a wheeled base, and strong composite posts comprising metal tubes encased within impact-resistant plastic sleeves. Preferably, the versatile assembly has interchangeable modules or inserts, such as bins, grates and cutting boards, which can be placed on the table and function as shelves between panels or walls that extend between the base and table. For further capacity and versatility, the assembly can have a superstructure comprising a riser shelf that is positioned above the table.
