I have two of these planters outside....they make a lovely addition to my driveway....they hold a lot of flowers and the automatic water systems lets me go a little longer between watering's. They are sturdy and very good looking you can plant so many different kinds of flowers...what's nice about them they have wheels so you can move them to a sunny spot or shady spot. Great buy, it you are thinking about getting one or two do it you won't be sorry.
