Five stars for customer service!  The planter is beautiful and very heavy.  It would have been perfect on our deck which gets a fair amount of wind.  The piece, itself, is unusual in that it appears to be made out of a cement mixture with a thin layer of tiles applied to the outside.  I ordered two pots, the large and the small.  Unfortunately, one was obviously cracked in many places.   The tiling  was peeling off the second planter.  I was disappointed because these really are lovely.  However, customer service handled the return quickly and efficiently.
