Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Turn an open area or an unused wall into a flowering vine support with this portable planter and trellis combo from American Woods. Crafted from high-quality Western red cedar, the planter features an 8-1/4-inch-deep planting space and over 3-1/2 vertical feet of climbing room. Using attractively varied cedar pieces, American Woods crafts the trellis with darker edges to create a lovely frame for your clematis or sweet peas. The trellis has strong mortis-and-tenon joinery to counteract side-to-side movement, loosening, or twisting. To allow for a range of drainage options, the planter's bottom is made of four removable pieces. The planter is easily movable on its four sturdy casters and looks great from all directions. American Woods has treated all parts with an oil-based, semitransparent coat. Applying additional oil-based stain will prolong the life and water-repellant properties of your planter. --Emily Bedard

5.0 out of 5 stars better than we had hoped for, October 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: American Woods 1690 Cedar Planter Trellis (Lawn & Patio)

we researched planters and trellises online and in garden centers around here and were really excited to find this combined one. It looked better than most and the price was unbelievable (we did buy it on Amazon special with a free gift) but the best part was when they (we bought two)arrived. Each came with the glue and screws for assembly. One person was able to assemble one planter trellis in fifteen to twenty minutes using a screw driver only. (The second is unpacked and ready to go...)It seems sturdy and is actually better looking than the picture because the wood is really nice. We had originally planned to use it to line an outdoor walkway but the removable wheels on the bottom are making us wish we had a room that needed a divider - this piece of "furniture" looks great indoors too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality product - BEWARE, June 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: American Woods 1690 Cedar Planter Trellis (Lawn & Patio)

I bought two of these and the cedar storage bench - both were mistakes. When I tried to assemble these, two things happened. First, the preassembled sides, apparently with only under-used glue and no screws - fell apart. I had to add glue and provide my own screws to reassemble. In addition, in 1 or 2 of each leg that I tried to fasten the base with the wheels, as I tapped the wheel base into the wood so it stayed in place when you lifted the rolling trellance - the leg(s) split. What poor engineering and quality. Stay away from this company's products.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap cheap cheap., May 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: American Woods 1690 Cedar Planter Trellis (Lawn & Patio)

Unfortunately I am talking about the quality, not the price. I ordered four of these and three showed up with broken parts. While the manufacturer was very responsive in sending out replacements, it hardly bodes well for longevity - especially outside where I was hoping to use them. The staple construction is flimsy at best, and the cedar they are using might as well be balsa wood. If your lucky enough to get one with the pieces intact, I wouldn't bet on it lasting more than a season outdoors.
