I now have three of these lovely planters, one short square one and two of the tall ones. I absolutely loves these planters. I am not normally a plastic person, but I have grown so tired of replacing sandstone planters due to them practically melting from the weather, that I decided to give plastic a try. I could not find anything that really suited me at our local stores, so went on line and found these. The look just like wood from a distance, but they are a heavy grade of plastic, and can just be wiped off with a damp cloth to bring back their good looks if they get dirty. I use the square short one as a self-watering planter, but have drilled holes in the bottom of the big ones incase I want to move them around. I worried about the small one being stolen as it is in front of my home, but with water in it, no one can pick it up. This was a great purchase!!!.
