BEWARE...if you buy this BLACK GALVANIZED planter,... be sure to NOT put it in the hot sun for any length of time.... It doesn't tell you that!  Due to it being black, it will HEAT too hot for what you may plant in it.  I am having to paint mine white (latex).  (more work)  Latex, because it's galvanized and will not peel off! I had to do my own research on this before using. Still waiting to paint..then gravel on the bottom....preparation before using is not a 'piece of cake'.
