Despite photos that make this planter look substantial -- it is not!  It is very, very thin fiberglass.  I will have to use artificial plants instead of real.  There is no way this container can withstand the amount of soil needed to properly house anywhere near the number of plants shown in the photo.  The amount of soil needed will be far too heavy for the container to hold, cause the container to bow out of shape, and very likely cause it to crack over time because the container is so very thin.  The container is extremely over-priced for what it is.  Very unhappy and disappointed with the purchase.  Does not suit the purpose for which it was intended.
