Unfortunately these pots are not as nice as the photo. They are plastic, and look like plastic. I think they are quite overpriced for the quality. It’s says they are guaranteed for 10 years, and I suppose a fairly thick plastic pot will last that long. They just are not as attractive as some other light weight pots I’ve purchased in the past, for less money. I’m still considering whether to send them back, given I will lose 44 in shipping off the cost of  the 2 pots I bought. I’m very disappointed. I believed the positive reviews, but from now on I will be listening more to the negative reviews.
