When I took the first of these 6 planters I ordered out the the box I could simply not believe my good luck - these are even more beautiful than I expected. The are strongly constructed, very sleek, heavy in a sense of being sturdy but not too heavy to lift and put in place. All six arrived really quickly and in mint condition. Not a dent or scratch on any.  I put podocarpus plants side by side in them and place them 6" apart and they are a stunning addition to my back yard. Photos do not do them justice. I can't recommend these enough. They are so reasonably priced compared to what else is out there (I searched both high end garden stores and online for hours)  I'd buy them while they are available.
