PROBLEM 1: The photo for this product as of 5/1/2007 shows steel side rods that hold up the top of the planter. This product shipped with plastic rods, not the steel ones shown in the photo. PROBLEM 2: Not all of the rods had connectors, so I contacted the manufacturer directly. To their credit, they immediately sent the missing pieces via FedEx. PROBLEM 3: Once all of the dirt was in the top of the planter, it lasted 2 days before tipping over. The plastic rods holding this planter up are not strong enough. This planter was even a greehouse (so no wind affected it). It was on a level surface. There was sand and gravel in the base to weight down the bottom, as the instructions indicated that I should do. PROBLEM 4: This product was greatly overpriced at $85 after shipping. RESOLUTION: I threw it away before ever using it.
