I have had these for a month or two now, and I really like them. When I first saw it put together I wished it did surprise me how small they were, but to be fair it was true to the dimensions online. However, once I put in all of my herbs, I still had room for a tomato plant too, so while they are small (in height) they did fit everything I wanted. I usually have my daughter assemble everything for me, but I built this myself with minimal trouble. Initially bought for the self-watering feature and I have no complaints so far. All my herbs/tomato is looking healthy in the planter and that all that matters so I would say it is a good planter, and it does look nice aesthetically as well.
