I finally opened the box that held this product (bought in early 2023).  Unfortunately it is broken, though not sure how since it was packaged correctly.  The planter base is broken and the finial to add to the planter base was also broken. I did try to add the finial to the base but it would not attach.  So, this product will be "deep-sixed" (aka trashed) shortly since it cannot be repaired nor replaced (it's all plastic).
