Review on Get Your Plants Thriving With BangQiao'S 10 Pack Of Gray Plastic Deep Nursery And Seedling Pots - 5.30 Inch Round Transplant Seed Starter Planters by Sandra Johnson

I bought these because I'm propagating a bunch of cuttings requiring a dozen or so 4" - 6" deep pots, but because of space concerns, I didn't want the pots to be as big around as pots of that deep generally all are, so I chose these because they were the only ones I could find that were as deep as I needed but also as narrow as I wanted, about half as big around as a normal 4" - 6" pot, or rather about half the diameter. Since I know I'll be using them several times again, $17.99 didn't seem unreasonable-- THAT WAS UNTIL I GOT THEM.Once I got them into my hands, I realized they are basically the exact same size as a Solo cup, you know those ubiquitous red disposable cups that you and you see everywhere from family reunions to college keggers, those cups you play tippy-cup with, those cups you can get right now at Walmart for $3.94 for 50! Well, that's the size of these, to a T.Yes, Solo cups aren't as sturdy as these, but do they need to be when they cost only $0.08 each? A Solo cup will hold up for any single use, and if you break one before you get to reuse it, then you have 19 others you can go through as backup before you've paid what you've paid for just one of these. ALSO, if you do need such sturdiness, I'm 100% sure you can find cups made of just as heavy of plastic and just as sturdy that are exactly the same size as these, the size of a Solo cup, at Walmart or any dollar store for 4 or 5 for $1.Yes, Solo cups and other cups don't have the drainage holes these have, which is the only physical difference between these and them, but equally functional drainage holes can in seconds be easily made in the bottom and on the sides of a Solo cup with just a small knife, a pair of scissors, or punch-- or in the case of a heavier plastic drinking cup of that same size, equally functional holes in the bottom and on the sides around the base could be almost as quickly and easily made using a handheld cordless with a large drill bit, and in less than 5 minutes, you've got cups just as sturdy and durable for under $5 instead of for $18, never mind that you get way more options in picking color and style of cup, not just gray or black octagonal cups with a round rim.So do yourself a favor, save yourself the $$$, and just buy some Solo cups that 14 of will only cost you $1.10 for or heavier duty, reusable plastic drinking cups that 14 of will cost you less than $5 for, instead of paying $17.99 for 14 of these. The only difference is the holes, but punching holes in plastic isn't rocket science and can be easily done in just moments to make either of those choices just as functional as these for but a small fraction of the price. OR PAY NOTHING-- because there are a number of products you buy regularly from the grocery store that come in a container with these same dimensions or very close to it, like 1-lb. containers of sour cream, for example.HAD I REALIZED THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THESE, I'D HAVE DONE THAT, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL I ACTUALLY GOT THEM AND SAW THEM AND HANDLED THEM THAT IT DAWNED ON ME WHAT THESE REALLY ARE-- JUST REGULAR OLD PLASTIC DRINKING CUPS, EXCEPT WITH DRAINAGE HOLES ADDED TO THE TUNE OF COSTING 20 TIMES MORE THAN REGULAR OLD PLASTIC DRINKING CUPS.
