Garbage,
We too were looking forward to this thing and have had plants growing in the kitchen waiting as it was on backorder. Once it was received we found it was flimsy plastic that is completely unstable once full of dirt and the black plastic in the hot sun makes it worse. It has toppled over twice so far on us and will be suprised if the plants survive. I too went to Lowes and got 4 1" wood dowels to replace the weak corner supports which helped some but it still fell the second time with those in. The base and 4 corner supports need to be hard plastic of some kind. Again a great idea but with the grief and waiting for it am VERY disappointed and will be returning for a refund. I could have built something myself for less time and money.

Description lied,
The product description said, "Heavy-duty plastic grow box is supported by a PVC center pole and metal supports." Well, I opened the box and the supports are plastic. And they bend under the weight of the dirt on top. I love the idea, but I feel ripped of and would like to know how to get the company or Amazon to make their description true by sending me metal supports. I don't know anything about advertising rules, but I feel like that line was dishonest and that seems wrong.

Not worth the price, and topples over easily.,
By Tara S. "Tara S." (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
