I paired this planter with a metal privacy screen. I really like the planter, and was disappointed that there was a small dent in the top that happened during shipping. Given that the dent was against the back of the screen, I was able to hide it and protect it with a bit of black rust-oleum paint. I added a coco fiber insert to house my plants and added bricks for additional weight in the bottom to keep it from being too top heavy. I've received several compliments in the two short weeks I've had it.
