This planter is beautiful/  I can be used for traditional or modern applications.  The only downside is that the opening is so small, so the planting space is limited.  

I am updating this review after several years of ownership.  I noticed this winter that the bottom of the planter is warped and does not sit flat.  I am not sure that this swelling will reverse itself once the weather warms up, but I will be keeping my fingers crossed.
