One of my Christmas presents this year was a bonsai bench... a number of bricklike stones that support two pieces of pressure-treated lumber. It's certainly not a fancy bench, but it's a great way to get my trees off the ground. I've located it on the north side of my home as the south side seems to be too hot and too sunny. I'll take some pictures and get them posted soon!
I hope you all are enjoying the holidays and taking a little bit of time to enjoy your bonsai (or to visit a bonsai display somewhere) and get some rest and relaxation!
