Beautiful planter! It is sturdy and has a polished matte finish. It’s not too heavy but substantial enough to look very sophisticated and modern. This piece is understated and sheik. I love the casual modern look and simple lines. It’s a fourth of the cost of some other name brands and really high quality. It’s the perfect size without overwhelming the room. I put self adhesive rollers on the bottom and I can easily scoot this around with my tree into the sunshine.
