Grand pot à fleurs vidaXL

The metal is slightly thinner than I was expecting but with the extreme amount of screws and bracing it seems sturdy.

This is a review for the 9 foot planters. Phew, these take some effort…240 screws for each planter! You also have to bend the steel sheets to make the brackets. The screws are tiny so somewhat hard to work with. It took two of us about 3 hours to get one planter put together. One of the main things I did not notice in the pictures, there’s no bottom to the planter. What!! So we cut some 2x4’s to use as slats to make a “shelf” resting on the brackets about half way down. This also worked great to not have to fill the entire thing with dirt. I did not want the rusted look so I painted them black. They are somewhat flimsy but if not being moved often should be sturdy enough for its purpose. Overall happy with the purchase as these were by far the least expensive oversized planters I found online!

For the price, it is the quality I expected. The Corten steel is relatively thin, and can bend easily. Pieces arent labeled at all and look a lot alike except for the length or notches. It took me about 3.5 hours to assemble by myself, and it helped to have pliers and a mallethammer handy. Some fits were really tight (good for stability), and I found it best to work from the center out when assembling. Anxious to see how the steel holds up once the weathering process sets in.

It was not disclosed that the planter has structural components through the middle space of the planter, making it impossible to use a shovel in the planter space. That is a shame. i am returning it.

Ok I definitely should have listened to the other reviews. My husband and I, who are very competent people (he’s a plumber and I consider myself a seasoned DIYer) almost divorced over these. Kidding. But all jokes aside, they’re a total pain in a**. As other reviews say, you have the bend the center pieces and it’s not terribly easy. Additionally, some of the screws are in hard to reach spots so it’s really helpful to have a drill bit extension. Once we were on a roll, it was pretty easy.
