I've just set this up so can't comment to how it holds up over time. It was easy to assemble and looks nice. Construction was a bit more light weight then I had expected. If it works as promised then I'll be very satisfied.

This planter looks great and keeps the plants well watered. It was easy to put together. We planted a shrub and two smaller plants in it and they look good and are healthy. I would like an even bigger one if it were available.

Comments about 20-Year Teak Planters:
My wife is an obsessive gardener; buying something for her is a little intimidating, but this little guy did the trick. It's smaller than I thought it was, but that's on me. She loves it, and we think its modern look & feel on the patio couples nicely w/the older, more classic look of everything else out there.

Cons
- Difficult To Assemble
- Flimsy

Comments about 20-Year Teak Planters:
It is way overpriced for what it is. The self watering part is so flimsy that it doesn't fit properly. I question, if the wood is really teak.It certainly doesn't look like the picture.

Comments about 20-Year Teak Planters:
We are using the planters on our deck overlooking the lake. We purchased 4 boxes and are thrilled with the way they look and the capacity of the water reservoir. The teak wood appears to be very good quality so we are hopeful that the planters will stand up to the durability claims made in catalog. We did make adjustments to the directions after assembling the first box--i.e. do not remove the plastic securing the slats as instructed in step one & we did glue the corner end caps to secure them and prevent exposure of sharp corners.

- Attractive Design
- Holding Capacity
Cons
- Difficult To Assemble

Comments about 20-Year Teak Planters:
The instructions for assembly of the water gauge were incorrect. Once in, the gauge was not working, and I am stuck with fillingthe reservoir until it overflows.
Otherwise the planter is very beautiful and my herbs are very happy.

Cons
- Had to make adjustments

Comments about 20-Year Teak Planters:
Have 4 different vegie plants in the trough planter. The water reservoir wouldn't hold water at first due to it being ill-fitting. We had to find a way to make it a little wider so that it would fit more securely in it's holder. After using a couple of screws it works well and the plants are growing very nicely.

Comments about 20-Year Teak Planters:
The holes drilled for the final assembly when delivered were drilled in the wrong place and had to be redrilled - poor workmanship.
While performing the step of tamping down the "soggy 1.5 inches of dirt" on top of the wicking platform, the platform slipped off the too narrow edge and when filling the resevoir after the planting, water came streaming out the bottom. The entire planter had to be emptied, all plants removed, and the entire procedure started all over. Now, we are hesitant to use the self-watering part of the trough because the entire bottom could slip off again.
Pros
- Attractive Design
- Drains Well
- Holding Capacity
Cons
- Somewhat Fragile

Comments about 20-Year Teak Planters:
Shopped around a lot and these planter boxes looked better than any others. However, one of the water reserviors did not quite fit right and kept falling out of the bottom. We solved the problem by putting a few bricks under the planter to hold the reservior in place.
