I was very happy when these arrived in only a few days.  This is a LARGE heavy duty box.  It is absolutely perfect for planting small trees such as Japanese Maples and will also hold a very nice display of plants/flowers.    The box has a classic look with the appearance of wood. The self-watering feature will probably be a huge plus for our hot Georgia summers.  The black color will really make green leafy plants pop, and I am looking forward to the frost season getting over so we can get some plants growing and displayed in these lovely planters.
