I ordered two of these and am not impressed with the quality. There are obvious flaws on the outside that have been repaired. It suggest you clean the inside and outside with a brush prior to use but I started out with a  hose on a very light setting an several cracks in the surface appeared just from that. They are also more of a dull concrete color and not pure white  or smooth glazed finish like in the picture. I'm keeping them, but the quality could be much better for the price
