Love it!  Its footprint is much smaller than the collection of large planters I had taking up space on my deck for the purpose of easy-access herbs.  Although I only have a few herbs at the moment (those that survived the New England winter as well as some newly purchased parsley plants, I believe this is going to work great.  I am a 68 year old female and was able to assemble this by myself - directions were quite clear and all pieces were intact.  I suspect that this design will help with my fungus gnat problem since the drainage should be much better than with the large plastic pots.  I look forward to a summer of fresh herbs right outside my door.
