I love this so much I ordered a second one. Looking forward to planting next month when danger of frost has passed. One planter will be just herbs and thinking about planting some vegetables in the second. It was so easy to put together did it in less than 1/2 hour and I'm a 70 year old woman. Some of the reviews suggested using wood glue for extra stability which I also did. Don't think it's reallly necessary it would be very sturdy without glue. Some of the reviews complained about the wood being too rough with splinters. I didn't find this to be the case. A few splinters but no big deal...after all it's not a piece of living room furniture. I love this planter and highly recommend it to anyone...you won't be disappointed!
