I needed a substantial, weighty, planter with a patina to put at the entrance of my front door. When I came across this, it looked like just the thing. The order quickly arrived well packaged and without any issues. It is beautiful and not heavy but heavy enough that it will not blow over. There is a drainage hole in the bottom. Because I am not a green thumb I purchased the 2 Kissing Ball Boxwood Topiary Set and I couldn't be more pleased with the combination.
