Grand pot à fleurs vidaXL

Still putting this thing together. It's a lot of assembly and you have to fold the metal parts yourself (not that difficult to do, just cumbersome). Spaces to screw in are somewhat tight so not sure a power drill would work for assembly. Still, once finished and weathered I suspect it will look exactly like the photos.

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.

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