Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We purchased four of these for our deck a year and a half ago. We liked the sleek appearance and self watering feature. Have had very good luck with self watering containers for my tomatoes so these seemed like a no brainer. They arrived and we were impressed. Loved the styling, construction seemed solid and they were easy to set-up. The first problems arose after they were put together. Of the four planters only two of the water "gauges" worked. Since they were all in the same location we figured we could live with that since we had two that worked that we could gauge the others from. Then it was impossible to keep all of the green overflow bins attached. At least 50% of them would fall off repeatedly. Since the planters were outdoors, this again wasn't a big deal but a definite "no go" if you are planning on using them indoors. Now 18 moths later three of the four leak from the bottom of the planter (not the overflow mind you). The reservoirs leak rendering the self-watering feature useless. In addition the sides of the planters are beginning to bow out detracting from the appearance. Given the price I can not begin to tell you how disappointed we are. Given the hot climate we are in these were saving me from having to water every day ... not anymore.
