Gardener's Supply has sent me at least two replacement square planters. They all leak no matter what I do. The water wrecks my floor. One star for their looks.

I read the other reviews before purchasing, so I should have known. This product is extremely light weight and is NOT an effective planter. The self watering unit does not fit well with the planter frame, causing the dirt to slide through. The corners also have gaps. Like others, I put bricks under it to support it and cut pieces of plastic to fill the corners. I don't think it's teak either. If it is, it's very low grade. Save your money - don't buy!

I would not recommend this planter to anyone. It does not assemble properly even though I used the proper tools and followed directions. There are large holes in the bottom corners that would allow soil to fall right through. The self-watering tray does not rest on the rails as it should so it keeps falling to the ground. This is a very badly designed product. It looks great but does not function.

Love it! It is on my deck and my herbs are growing beautifully. The only problem is that the bottom is not totally closed in the corners so soil leaks out. I solved the problem easily by putting stones in the corners.

Looks beautiful but the self-watering feature collapsed to the bottom and soil went everywhere! A huge mess!

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.

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.

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.

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.
