Great size for plant pots - Love the colors - they match a diverse array of plant colors which is great for new indoor apartment gardeners. The bamboo dishes help hold or disperse excess water without flooding the surface underneath. One thing that detracted from the pots was that the light gray colored pot had this salt/sand coming out of the cracks for the first couple months after I watered the plant. After a while it stopped occurring as much but it did make me nervous so a while as I thought it would happen in perpetuity/would not be cleanable. Overall this is a great bang for your buck set - get it!
