Much taller than anticipated, but makes a statement.  Easy to assemble even with lousy instructions.  Not sure how the self-watering feature works yet because of said lack of clear instructions.  The bottom half of planter is empty with a shelf in between separating it. Shelf is where you would place plant - assume bottom half is for the self-watering feature, but also keeps the planter lightweight by not filling entire piece with dirt. Other than unclear instructions, overall I’m happy with it.
