I have tried expensive clay and ceramic pots which are heavy and difficult to maneuver. I have also watched those planters suffer with the extremes of hot and cold in out climate. This is the solution! It looks remarkably like stone, yet is light; it looks weathered, but will withstand our weather. It is so fine I am actually using this indoors. I love the idea of bringing nature indoors, but never liked the attendant mess. This is ideal: neat, functional, elegant and practical!!!

Beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Perfect. Will recommend. Color is a nice neutral and fits the outdoor entrance. Lightweight. Glad I bought it!!!
