Shipment delayed as shipper did not put the specified apartment number on the shipping instructions - took several days longer than it should have done.  The apartment number was on the tracking advice so not sure why this couldnt be ascertained. Unit is bulkier than I thought so I may not use it where I originally intended; also it is very "plasticy" looking, but overall it is a nice planter. Haven't investigated how to get the central support out yet - I know some other reviewers had a problem with that part.
