I search all over for just the right type of planter for the front porch of my home.  I wanted something tall so my plants would be visible and I wanted something simple yet elegant.  This planter is all that!  I currently have a huge Boston Fern sitting in it and it looks great.  You can add dirt and use it as a traditional planter or you can just pop an already potted plant in.  I have found these planters elsewhere for more money.  Wayfair was by far the lowest priced for this item.  Totally satisfied!
