Very nice.  a bit of work to set up (I don't understand why the required drainage holes aren't pre-drilled) and a bit of a pain to clean out if needed.  We live in mid-atlantic and need to store them away in winter.  So now, I just buy flowers already in baskets and set them in.  I have to constantly water (which defeats the self-watering) but much easier to deal with the large planters each year.
