Love this planter. Very durable but looks like expensive stone or pottery. You cannot hurt it. Topple it over and it will never break or chip. Any scratches, if you can,  just make it look more like stone. I turn the planter the other way around so you do not see the label. I also have the version to hang on a balcony - does not rust or crack like metal or plastic ones. I plan to replaced all my pots with this brand.
