I am a flower gardener, and thought this planter would be a great addition to our landscape -- and it certainly will be.  This is a terrific planter.  I always dread assembling things, but this was such a breeze. I actually enjoyed seeing it come together.  Its lite weight, but will hold its own once the soil and water are added.  I didnt realize that it is actually 2 separate planters.  I thought theyd be connected once assembled.  This is much better for moving around and changing things up.  It looks like its an open weave design, but the side walls are solid.  I really like the fact that its self watering.  It can get hot here in Ohio, too, and its so frustrating if I miss a watering session and my cared for flowers start to die.  This planter will be a nice backup for that.  Cant wait until Spring to adorn this planter.  Thanks so much, Wayfair, for another wonderful product!!!
