Amazing looking planter! This pot has the look of a much more expensive and elegant pot. It is perfect for a direct plant or as a cachepot. It has drainage holes but it comes with plugs so it can be used inside or outside. It’s quite well made and the assembly of the wooden base couldn’t have been easier. They even provided the tool necessary for assembly for those who don’t have their own allen wrench. I am very happy with this purchase so far. I can’t yet speak to how it will hold up in the long term as I’ve only had it for a week but I think it will be fine. I have purchased other pots from this company and they have held up well outside in the elements so I would expect no less from this pot. I am using mine in my family room and it looks great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a larger container, this one checks all the boxes.
