I really like the planters. They add the impact to my front door that I was looking for due in part because they are not plain. I really like that I have the option to plant deeply or half way the pot or even place a pot inside with the included insert which is a plus for me. There is a drainage hole in the bottom with a plug that has to be drilled out. I like to insure proper drainage so I will probably drill out more holes around the bottom. I think my Bird of Paradise will look great on these.
