My mistake for not looking closer, but I assumed a planter box, would have a bottom.  This should be labeled as something else.  A planter cover, perhaps?  It is disappointing.  The pictures and the description are unclear, it is only through careful reading of reviews that it is apparent that this is only a shell.  

On the positive side, if youa re looking for something to cover a plant pot, this is pretty and it will make changin plants or soil easier.  It is not what i wanted however, nor is it what I understood I was buying.
