It's remarkably hard to find planters w attached saucers, so I was happy to find this one. I was looking for a planter w an attached saucer that was light weight to use in a macrame hanger and these were just the trick. They are a nice feeling plastic and they look like they'll hold up. I haven't (and don't plan to) use them outdoors. The price seemed high to me in a vacuum but the other sites I was looking at planters that were similarly priced (or saucer unavailable), so I guess the price is alright. I got the lime green, turquoise, and dark blue and the colors are very nice - will be buying more!
