Rustic Wooden Whiskey Barrel Planter with Handles and Drainage Hole - Large

The materials are high quality and it seems like it will last a long while. The wood appears to be semi-treated or stained with heavy bracketing around the exterior to give it rigidity. The only thing I foresee is the wood drying out and cracking like other wooden pots we have had in the past. If you live in high humidity, it will probably be perfect for you. But for the price, I will probably just buy plastic or ceramic pots in the future for a fraction of the cost for this pot.

steel bands arent even fitted to the side of the bucket. some of the wood is separated. One of the pieces of wood was split right down the middle. returned.

I purchased this container to hold a dwarf raspberry bush outside and it is perfect. I added screen over the drainage hole and pea gravel then good potting soil and the plant. Plant is doing great, planter looks terrific and I then purchased two more: for a dwarf blueberry and a blackberry. The planters are made very well and with some care should last quite some time. I did place each on a concrete paver to get it off the soil. Seems to be working well.

Okay as planter BUT...arrived broken with only the steel band holding the staves together. Considered returning but it’s usable as a stationary planter.

I bought 2 of these for my front porch. These are so cute and sturdy. They're large but not too large to where they look empty with only a few plants or flowers. We did put a coat of polyurethane all over them since my porch does get sun and the occasional rain shower. I really hope these last since they look great on my porch.

Thin wood loosely strapped together. I exspected a sturdier bucket for $40. Suppose it would hold a plant ok

I ordered the small barrel planter not for plants, but to store important books that I look at most everyday. I love it and it looks great in my home.

Buckets were light weight and look fantastic in the garden. Great look for a fair price.
