I love my planter and would recommend it to anyone. I  hung it on my deck on my brick wall and it looks beautiful. I did put fake greens in it  and not real plants.  I did have real plants in it at first but the edges are not sealed well and the water and some of the dirt fell thru the edges onto my outside sofa.  And when it rains I bring it inside since the metal rusts more and comes out the bottom also.  But that seemed to make it more rustic and made me love it all the more,so go ahead and buy one.  You'll really love it.
