We love these planters a lot, they look modern and are pretty sturdy. They are of good quality and we like that they came with these inserts to have different height options for plants to be used. We did add a brick in them to add additional weight since we are using faux tree plants with them right now, so the weight is not as sufficient as if you use them with natural plants and soil. We just wanted to make sure that they withstand our at times windy/stormier weather patterns in the Northeast. They add a nice touch to our patio and we definitely recommend them, great value for the size of these.
