I purchased the planter August 10th 2021  at the end of Summer.  I only removed the drain hole and filled with soil & small patch of transplanted grass.    It is October 12th 2021 on one side is cracked and splitting.  The planter was never tipped over.  The water in soil did not expand in frigid temperatures as it has not gone below 60 degrees yet.  There is no reason for it to be falling a part already.      I tried to get an exchange for the item and it is not allowed.  I do see they sell a "warranty" now on the product.  They must know it has problems.
