This wall was bare for the longest time, and we could never figure out what to do with it. Once we added the hanging planter and filled it with plants, it brought instant life to our room! We are big fans of Umbra, and like all of their other products that we have tried, we were really impressed with the quality of this one. I really liked that the pots themselves are not very heavy (but they look substantial), and that it was fairly easy to instal!
