These pots are great! I have them in many different sizes
I live in the high desert so my plant pots have to contend with intense sunlight, summer heat, and below freezing winter nights. My ceramic and terra cotta pots get very hot in the summer, which is a more of problem with smaller pots and not so much with the larger ones, but they do not always survive the winter without inside storage, and they are heavy and inconvenient to move.These pots are great! I have them in many different sizes, but the only color I have purchased to date is Weathered Stone, which is so wonderful that I never try any of the others. In person, the color is a few shades lighter than shown in the photo, and not as mottled or variegated in tone. Another reviewer called it a flat tan color...this is an accurate description, but I would describe the texture as matte, because there is a depth to the finish that you just do not generally find on plastic pots! It has a chalky visual texture, like a more natural material would have.I have my pots on old concrete patios and to me, the color is very similar to the old concrete, but with a touch of brown....what you would call "Greige". I find it gorgeous, to the extent that a plastic pot can be such a thing! It goes perfectly with every plant I've put in it, it just looks classy but you really notice the plant. IMO it does not look like cheap plastic, of which I've owned plenty.However, once again to be clear, I am only commenting on the Weathered Stone finish. I've not yet tried any of the others, although they look very nice! I'd like to see what the Rust and Weathered Concrete look like, and if I get those, I will update my review.If you like greige and putty-hued neutral colors, you will surely like Weathered Stone. No, I don't look at it and mistake it for a fine European antique carved by an old mason for his beloved bride of many years, but it blends with everything, looks classy, doesn't crack or fade, is light to move, less expensive than ceramic pots of the same size, so for what more could I ask? Just this: It needs more drain holes, I had to drill a few more. Otherwise I'm very pleased!

GOOD but.... DISAPPOINTED!
Nice, large pot, good price...However very Disappointed. The pot I received was not weathered stone finish, but a light solid, flat tan color.Not bad but not pretty (as pictured). I'll use it...to returen is too big a hassle! Sure wish it had been as pictured!

Big possibly beautiful. Delivery is FUBAR!!
The product is identical to a terracotta pot without the weight or expense. It remains to be seen how well it lasts in the weather. Has a 10 year life expectancy.The rating reflects delivery problems. My order was 2 of the same item. Shipped from the same location on two different days and two separate arrival times. The first delivery was left on my walk way NOT on my porch as I had advised. The second item made it onto my porch a the top of the steps; blocking my path to the front door. The Amazon delivery also managed to spill all the dry cat food onto porch and the food bowel was 8 feet away on the walk way to my porch. Neither of the two delivery idiots have two brain cells to rub together. NOTE: the item weighs approx. 8lbs. with box maybe 10lbs. Amazon USA customer service did not have any intellegent explanation for either issues. Only excuses.

Winter Will Tell
This is a good pot in many ways. I love the look of it. Very pretty. The large size is exactly what I needed. The cost was lower than others, which is what drew me to this brand. Though I’m always shocked by the cost of things these days! In any case, I had read somewhere that this pot was double-walled, making it especially great for cold winters. We are below freezing for months at a time and I wanted that extra protection from the cold temperatures. It is not double-walled. I was surprised at how thin the one layer of plastic is. But because it looks so good and was the right size I’m giving it a chance. Winter will tell if it’s worth my trust and a five star rating. If so, I’ll come back and make the adjustment! If you live in a more temperate climate then I already highly recommend it for you.

Very Happy so far...Great Value!
Got to me super-quick, way faster than the descriptor promised (have 2 ordered on separate occasions and both got to me fast).Out of the box it's exactly what I wanted: nice color (Terra Cotta and Rust), perfect size, and light weight. I'm pairing these with some 15" Upsadaisy plant lifts so that I can plant some smaller Japanese maples in and bring in the garage in the winter. They do have a nice guarantee, and if I really do get a good 10 years out of these they will be a phenomenal value for the money. I'll be ordering at least one more! Highly recommended!

Nice design. Light. Color not as expected. Plastic looking.
As other reviewers have said, the color does not look like "weathered stone" as I expected but more like off-white plastic. It's light, as advertised, but definitely looks and feels like plastic and nothing else. Since I've already thrown away the box, and returning them would be a nuisance (I bought 2), I'm going to spray paint them.The size and design and design are good. In fact, I love the design. I could like them if only I could get over the plastic problem.As far as value for the money is concerned, I think not. I have other plastic pots that cost less and look much better. They look ceramic, even though they're not.I've ordered some spray primer for plastic and a can of textured spray paint that's supposed to look like coarse granite. (You can also get smoother-textured paint.) I've done this in the past with another plastic pot, and the result was fantastic. Nobody can tell it's not the real thing. However, the paint upped the cost considerably.

Color is far lighter than depicted.
It is lightweight and the style is very nice. The color however is vastly different from the website, much lighter. I ordered Weathered Stone but it is off white. It looks more like Weathered Concrete.

Homely but functional
It's 2020 and we're living thru hell with the rona, so a plastic planter that gets delivered to my house is a good thing. I'm happy to be able to repot my dracaena, so this allows me to accomplish that, but different time and/or place, and I'd never keep this. It's just homely and instead of looking like concrete, it looks like plastic that was patched with bond. But I doubt my plant will care.
