I looked at this item for over a week before making my purchase, I loved the look but was not sure about buying it without seeing it first hand. After reading the reviews I purchased 2 of the large planters for either side of an entryway. I absolutely LOVE these planters. Heavy duty, great quality, they come very well packaged and I followed the suggestions on how to get the rusted look quickly and it was so easy. I would highly recommend purchasing this product, great product, great value.
