Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend. (lemmy.world)

Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats.

Hey have you ever considered acquiring more succulents?

I am a carpenter. I bought a jewelry rack for my partner off amazon. It broke in 2 months.

I assure you your time and effort will not go to waste as this is going to last a million times longer. Not to mention the brownie points!

The last trip to buy pots to separate the existing overgrown succulents also brought home a new succulent. Soooo...

Like when I went to get some mulch for my new gooseberry bushes and walked out with 4 blueberry bushes.

I feel seen and attacked at the same time

You might have to go back for some sulfur for the blueberry bushes. At which point you should buy some serviceberry bushes.
