Nice looking and sturdy, once it is assembled correctly. I bought two, and found the first one to be finicky and fiddly to put together (many moving parts), but was very pleased with the end results. It is quite solid once everything is tightened! The second one was also finicky/fiddly to assemble but had one hole was slightly misaligned, so it was going to remain rickety. I opted to drill a new hole to be able to tighten it all up - so it is now solid, but might not last as long as the first. Still happy with these planters and glad I purchased them!
