This planter is so cool in my herb garden area. It’s well made, grey, not purple, and pretty heavy alone because if it’s thick construction at the base. Doesn’t have holes, so I drilled some outside, yes it’s made of something you shouldn’t breath so keep it inside or wear protection and drill it. Easy. I’m hoping I can keep it here, because I love the contrast with the brick, but I planted lavender in it and it needs a lot of light. Considering painting it for more contrast if I move it to my rock garden. I’m extremely happy with the quality, size, price and delivery. I might get another one for the front  porch. Love it so much!
