I just received my Lacquer Finished oakwood Split Wine Barrel Planters, this morning, delivered by FEDEX ground delivery service. They did send me the other barrel planters with the galvanized barrel hoops instead of the barrels with the black hoops but, not an issue. These ones are equally as nice. They are well built and they should last a long time. When I was ordering them I thought that they came with drainage holes already drilled into the bottom of the planters but, I will have to drill some holes, myself. I am handy with a drill so, again, not an issue. These barrels do have some weight to them so it takes a bit to move them around. I use to be able to lift 80 lbs. square haybales but, I must be getting old because these barrels feel like they are heavier then the 65 lbs. indicated in the description and specifications of the barrels so I'll just use by garden cart to move them to where they have to go. With their look, these barrels are going to add that little extra something to the look of my garden and they are going to look even nicer with the plants that I add to them this spring. I was thinking, as well, that if anyone does a lot of family get togethers or gets together with friends out at the lake or elsewhere during the summer months, if they drill a few drainage holes in the bottom of these barrel planters, they can fill the planters up with crushed ice and use the barrel planters just like a cooler to keep their canned and bottled drinks cold especially if they are entertaining a big crowd.
