Comments about Terrazza Square Planters:
An easy project as long as you read the directions first. Very attractive, needs lots of planter mix so make sure you have a handy supply. I am not too sure how well the reservoir works but in time I will know. Sure does look nice!

Plants have thrived despite full sun, reflected heat and low humidity on our cement patio.

Comments about Terrazza Square Planters:
The planter itself is easy to put together for the most part. The only negative is that the part to gauge the level of water in the planter is fairly flimsy and doesn't always work well so you may have the resevoir leak water before you realize it is full.

Comments about Terrazza Square Planters:
I too wasn't too crazy about the price, given the fact that it's just plastic... but when I looked around on-line, this product had a lot of the other ones beat. It looks great and I made sure to assemble it slowly like the other reviewers had suggested. I can't wait to buy more, they are just so functional and I love the fact that an arbor can be attached to them. My tomatoes and cucumbers are growing wonderfully right now.

Once you have pur 1 together, they are pretty simple. 1 of them leaks every time you add water, regardless of if you add 1 cup or 1 quart. will have to wait until winter to disassemble and see why.

I had to get my son to assemble it for me as I didn't have the strength to snap the pieces together. Now it's planted with a dripper filling the reservoir and everything grows well.

Comments about Terrazza Square Planters:
I own a large one and four small ones; I've been using them for four years. I do not use casters as I have my planters on a sloped driveway and in a sloped part of the yard. The large one is used as a cold frame, and for lettuce, leafy crops, carrots and peas. The three small ones are used for columner apple trees (x3) and a rotating crop (this year tomatillos). They look nice and everything I have planted in them has thrived. As others have mentioned, the filler tubes just do not work properly nor do they last. I also have other self-watering pots from Gardeners.com with similar filler tubes that also have failed. Some caps have never closed properly, at least half of mine have cracked or broken caps and once you start using the filler the float that tells you that the reservoir is full generally quits working. Last year I called about this problem and I ended up buying 4 newer filler tubes but I have 3 fillers tubes that will need to be replaced this year. The fillers in all of my Terrazza planters have failed (broken tops, can't tell when full) the filler tubes in other pots have not broken but in most the water level indicators no longer work. The water seeping out of the bottom of the planter is the only way to tell if they are full. If this keeps up I may just replace the filler tubes with PVC pipe as I am getting no value out of the tubes that come with these planters and these filler tubes are expensive to replace on an already expensive planter. I have been tempted to buy more of these planters but I do not think the filler tubes are well designed nor useful.

I don't often put things together and this one was a challenge. At one point, I put a post on wrong and could not get it off even though I followed the instructions provided.
