Beautiful in my apartment. I have a tall draceana tree with 3 stalks and it was a nice transition from a 10" pot. The only suggestion... if you have a tall plant, place it as deep as you can because there are a layer of pebbles that come with the planter, then a layer of soil, THEN your plant. Keep the layer of soil short otherwise a tall plant might not want to stand up straight. Also don't worry about the planter being too top heavy, I am not experiencing that as an issue even when placed on soft carpet (if you have a leaning tree then there might be a problem however)
