Nice sturdy piece, looks just as described. 4 stars due to the fact you need a 3/4" drill bit (not a cheap bit) to drill a hole for continuous need to keep the water trough filled. They do supply a rubber stopper to cover the hole. It is easy to fill the first time, once you plant live foliage, shrubs, and need to truly be self watering- you need to then drill a hole.  Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.
