Great price, quality not so much

Great look, and is sturdier once things have been planted. For me building it was awkward. Seems like company is being cheap with hardware; 1 screw and nut for 2 legs. Would of helped to have two sets of hands, but I managed. Once the legs were attached it was a simple build. I bent the bottom part of 2 legs (slightly,too much and will break) that were not level with the other side; it's the way the holes are drilled and no way around it. Once I put soil and plants in was a bit sturdier…

Pros
  • Hi thank you
Cons
  • I did not sign up for auto delivery. Why would this be a possibility for a seasonal planter?

Beautiful flower box

Pros
  • Easy to maintain and care for with regular watering and occasional pruning
Cons
  • The chain can be too short to reach desired locations

NIce find. best in my review

Purchased this planter to compliment the front of my house to add an abundance of flowers in one container. Everything comes complete in the package, including the coir mats for the plants. Be careful on loading this as it can easily become top heavy. I love the fact that both baskets swivel to give equal time to all the flowers for the same growth. You will be delighted with this purchase.

Pros
  • Plants!
Cons
  • The metal frame can be sharp and cause injury

Great Planter! good for me

Great find on amazon. I searched high and low for a planter this size at local retail stores unsuccessfully. So glad I found this on amazon. It made a beautiful basket and held a variety of plants. If you plan on hanging it will be VERY HEAVY when filled. You will need to find a hanger/hook/support that has weight guidelines to ensure safety when hanging. When planted and ready to hang it I did require help from my husband as I was unable to lift it over my head to hang. As I said, VERY HEAVY…

Pros
  • Easy to hang from any exterior surface with the included chains and hook
Cons
  • The metal frame can be too thin and break easily

great answer to hanging plants

that need room to grow and hang from my 2nd story deck. Chains are quite adequate. Larger than I anticipated! They get very heavy once the soil gets wet, so they need significant support, but very worth the reinforcement we did on their supports! Easy size to replace the cocoliners.

Pros
  • Provides an excellent option for vertical gardening, especially in small spaces
Cons
  • The basket can be unevenly shaped, making it difficult to fill with soil

These are huge! for my opinion

I could never keep enough soil and water in the hanging baskets from stores, so I ordered these. They are pricey, but work so much better than the normal size. Hopefully they hold up - they look and feel sturdy.

Pros
  • Comes complete with coco liner attached
Cons
  • The chain can rust and deteriorate over time

Almost every home should have window boxes! Curb Appeal!

As a REALTOR(R), I encourage everyone to consider window boxes. They are so much bang for the buck. These are a bit more shallow than most people would prefer so you cannot have as many flowers and will have to water them more often.but the end impact is amazing.

Pros
  • Love how sturdy and cute it is! May purchase another for our other porch.
Cons
  • The hanging basket is too small for larger plants

Does not last long term

Planter was good while it lasted. I think it is about four years old but has rusted through and headed for the trash this fall

Pros
  • Nice product!
Cons
  • The coco liner can retain too much moisture, causing root rot

Great Hanging baskets

I liked everything and separately bought hangers and filled one with flowers and the other with succulents. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • look great holding flowers on the front of my house. Takes a skilled person to install.
Cons
  • The basket can be difficult to water evenly

I was looking for these type of planters and was pleased to find them on Ebay. Very happy with my purchase. They are very lightweight so putting them up was a snap. They look beautiful with flowers in them.

Pros
  • Very nice, well made manger.
Cons
  • The metal frame can be too flimsy to support larger plants

Excellent Extra Large Hanging Basket!

When I started searching for an extra large coco hanging basket for a Macho Fern, I nearly gave up.Nothing I saw was large enough. Then I checked on Ebay & Voila! There it was! If you need an extra large hanging basket, you won't find one better than this. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Provides an attractive and functional way to display plants and flowers
Cons
  • The basket can be too shallow to hold enough water for plants

Nice size for porch.

I had to remove zip ties and rearrange basket liners. They were put in very crooked. Will work great for my intended purpose.

Pros
  • These are great. Very heavy duty. Should last a long time.
Cons
  • The chain can be too short to hang in certain locations

Assembly is Not as Easy as it Sounds

The picture for attaching the legs is inaccurate. Once assembled, it is flimsy and difficult to get to stand straight. We have had it outside for about 4 months (admittedly, in winter) and the bolts are already rusted. I think this is an example of "you get what you pay for." When it's time to replace these (which I don't think will be long), I'll spend the extra money for quality that lasts.

Pros
  • Two thumbs up
Cons
  • The basket can get too heavy when filled with water and soil

Poor quality good for me

Purchased this item this winter but just opened to place in yard. It was difficult to put together and after three attempts it still leans andWobbles.

Pros
  • This product performs well. The coco allows the basket to retain water and if overfilled it drains out.
Cons
  • Very poor. Legs are not even, unbalanced.

Buyer beware! - my new review

Extremely disappointed ! Package came on time and box seemed in order until opened. First thing noticed was no instructions but could have dealt with that if all parts were there! Missing a few important parts and half of hardware. .not happy at all!

Pros
  • Great item!I Love it!
Cons
  • The metal frame can get too hot in direct sunlight and damage the plants

Good for the price. Possibly missing hardware

I’m happy with this planter given the price. I could not find anything similar for under $100. I took off 1 star because mine was sent without the bolt to attach the top basket, meaning I had to make a trip to the hardware store. Wish it was just a bit sturdier, but hasn’t tipped in with our strong spring winds yet. Looks great in a dead space next to patio furniture on porch.

Pros
  • Hanging Planters
Cons
  • The metal frame can be difficult to paint or customize

Great hanging baskets

Love these. The size is perfect and the metal seems very sturdy. I had looked at every website before ordering, and these seemed the best quality for the most reasonable price. I was not disappointed.

Pros
  • Coated with a heavy PVC vinyl coating to avoid rust and provide years of use
Cons
  • The metal frame can be too flexible and bend under pressure

Disappointing. on my review.

Was disappointed the first trough arrived in a huge box then the second trough arrived some five days later. It was unnecessary to freight them separately and be charged for freight twice, when there was ample room in the first box to send both troughs. Although usable, unfortunately both troughs arrived damaged where the metal struts detached itself from the main frame. If it wasn't so expensive to return them I would have done so. In retrospect I should have chosen the slightly more expensive

Pros
  • I love this hanging planter! Very sturdy, comes with the coir insert. Highly recommend it.
Cons
  • The metal frame can be too thin and bend easily

Flimsy, but cute. good for me

This is rather flimsy, but it is cute. I had a friend put it together for me and he was able to bend the feet and compensate for the unevenness. It was missing a large screw, but fortunately we had one here that worked.I am enjoying the planter.

Pros
  • Comes with a coco liner that provides excellent drainage and promotes healthy growth
Cons
  • The basket can be too small for plants that need deep soil

beautiful, but very light weight.I should have thought about that - my house faces west, and we get a breeze, sometimes gustsI had to put paving bricks around the bottom, not the best look in the world, but I don't want these blowing overfor the price, great value, just keep in mind these are very very light

Pros
  • Sturdy flat strip steel construction
Cons
  • The basket can be too small for multiple plants
