This is a nice planter.  The bottom holds together by inserting one slat (with 2 legs) into the other.  Therefore you have to be careful when moving it to ensure it stays together and doesn't fall and break your planter.  Also the planter holder is a dark brown stain, not the light color in the picture.  I prefer the darker brown.  Also the planter has stripes of grey in it - it is not all white. Packaged well and simple to put together, this planter is great.  It also comes with a water 'overflow' clear plastic pan so if you over water your plant, water won't spill on the floor.
