The planter didn't make it through one season. The boards ripped away from the screws causing the planter too literally fall apart. The wood will discolor and bow away from the structure. I built 2 others from treated wood and are not discolored or bowed. Build this yourself you will be way more happy. Stay away from this product. pictures attached. The one i built for less money is still perfect. I added the pic of the one i Built. Stay away
