This pot is great for one that is not ceramic, concrete, terracotta or other natural material. It doesn't look like a plastic pot (which I'm traditionally allergic to)..Given the prices for natural material pots that are on the larger size, I felt it necessary to find an alternative – this was it. I love the round shape and the fact that it has a saucer that comes with it (although it is small and wouldn't really hold much overflow, so beware)! The price was reasonable for something of this size, it's much thicker than anything I've seen of this variety, shipping was quick (as usual), and it was packaged securely. I highly recommend this brand of plant pot especially for larger plants!
