Very handsome product that looks great in any application. I think these could be easily painted with a spray coating designed for plastic however I purchased the lighter color one that from a distance looks almost like a masonry or stone planter.  Easy to transport as it is very light but stays put when filled with soil.  Has a good drainage system built into bottom. They come in rectangle and square so if you wanted to create a barrier to a low deck or patio, you could get different sizes to create a custom look, like an L shape for instance.

Pros: Great value and very handsome
Cons: wish I had space to buy more!
