Looks great but peeling off

"Search for planters for a long time and found these. I love the style. I bought 2 for my front entrance and 1 large for my back deck. The 2 in the entrance are still ok but the one in the back deck is rusting and peeling off. We did get alot of snow this winter but I didn't think it would peel after just 6 months. Would luv to return or replace it."

Striking appearance

"I receive many compliments on these planters. They look great and as long as you put something heavy in the base (so that they don't tip), they function well. Mine are under a patio so they don't get too much exposure to the elements. Also here in the desert, we don't get much rain."

Rusted out

"Planters looked great initially on my back covered patio but have since rusted out and the paint has peeled. I really thought for that price they would have lasted longer than a year!! Great look but needs to be made of different materials to sustain the elements!!!"

Just what the deck needed!

"I had purchased two of these planters to start an herb garden on our shaded, outdoor deck (contemporary Santa Fe house). They accessorize the style of the house, the deck railing and our furniture beautifully, and the herbs were doing so well, I ordered three more to "spread out" as the deck wraps around the front of the house. They work well and look awesome as you look up to the house from the street."

Love them

"These planters were a perfect addition to a new patio poured this year. Couldn't be happier with them. The look, the quality. I filled the bottom with empty water bottles to not use so much potting soil."

Good looking, but...

"the planter easily tips over. It's very lightweight & perhaps with the soil, it won't tip so easily, but I didn't want to chance it. So I returned the set. The shipping from C&B was inexpensive; however, I paid quite a bit to return it."

Serious value, without shipping hassle

"I have a houseplant that has outgrown it's already-large planter. I have shopped locally for a planter that is large enough but that has a tasteful design. Nowhere to be found! I found the Large Bronze Tapered Planter online and it fits all my requirements: Lightweight and durable but not plastic, Drainage holes, Sleek and modern, Big enough!!!!! Thrilled. And no crazy shipping fees for something so large. It looks beautiful. Recommend. FYI, it does not come with a draingage plate, so if for indoor use, you will need to figure that out on your own."

Looks good but doesn't perform

"The planter looks good and is easy to use, however, it tips easily because it's so light weight. Weigh it down!"

Beautiful Planters

"These planters are stylish and beautiful. I filled with sand to help with the stability. Yes, these planters will stain the concrete if touching directly. I solved that by putting a stand beneath them. I don't suggest leaving them out during the winter. I believe the directions said to bring them in. I use them on our deck and our front porch. Love them!!!!"

sadly disappointed

"Excited about these attractive planters as a great addition to the Ventura patio furniture, I purchased two small and one large planter for some specimen yucca plants. Unfortunately after three months the two smaller containers are rusting along the bottom seams and have stained my recently stamped concrete patio. The rust will not come off. I don't know if the planters can be sealed to prevent further rusting, but I'm thinking about returning the yuccas to the plastic containers (where they were before) and asking for my money back. Big disappointment because they are attractive containers and also created a mess on the new patio!."

Very happy with this purchase

"Decent quality and very stylish. We put rocks inside as suggested and the planter is now very sturdy. Love the separate flower pot that can be removed for planting. We do doubt that the planter is made of iron as described in the product details, and are concerned that it may rust or patina in the future."

dissapointed

"two years ago I purchased 3 of these containers. the tall one (which I just replaced) rusted out on the bottom and I had to throw it away. the other two are ok so far so I purchased another tall one to complete my "staging". At the price I paid I didn't expect it to deteriorate so quickly...there were holes in the bottom for the water to drain so again, I don't know why it rusted so quickly."

"These planters are great. The price is right on especially for the quality of the product. They are so beautiful and yet sleek and cool looking. I also love that their is a removable planter. It's easier for potting, etc. LOVE LOVE LOVE"

Nice, Sturdy Planter

"I wasn't sure how I would like the bronze edges of this but it looks great now that it is in my home (which is a bit darker than the store). The planter is nice and sturdy - good for inside or outdoors."

Short Lifespan

"Purchased 2 of these planters for my outdoor patio. They are outside for the Summer months & brought in for the winter since I reside in Wisconsin. Both planters began to have problems with the finish bubbling and signs of rust. Took 1 year for the problem to go from subtle to VERY noticeable. I really like the design and look of the planters & more importantly my Ficus Trees are happy too. I sent an email to Crate & Barrel to let them know about the issue. Looks like they will make it thru this summer & a replacement will be in order;-( For the price I would have expected to get 3-5 years out of these planters."

Large & Small Bronze Tapered Planters

"Absolutely love this pair of contemporary planters. They will be used outdoors. It is amazing how light in weight they are, as other reviewers have already mentioned in their reviews. If the light weight presents a problem outdoors, even with plants in the planters, an extra added weight (such as a brick, stones, etc.) can easily be used.
I like the feature of having drain holes in the bottom of the planter with rubber plugs, especially if you decide to plant directly into the planter.
If your tastes lean towards modern or contemporary style, these planters will not disappoint you at all. I highly recommend this product."

Beautiful Style

"I just received the two smaller planters and am waiting for one of the taller ones. I was surprised at how lightweight they are. The style is beautiful, will look wonderful on my new flagstone patio. Am wondering though, because of the weight, if the taller one will blow over with a plant in the top? I think some sort of weight will have to be placed in it. I have not seen anything like these at my local garden store and appreciate their uniqueness."

Response from Crate and Barrel:By Customer ServiceJune 10, 2010
We appreciate your feedback. In order to improve stability of the planters in outdoor settings, we recommend filling the base with sand or gravel to prevent them from tipping over. Thank you for taking the time to write a product review. Your feedback is important…and appreciated.

Elegant

"Just bought 2 of these for the front walk way to our brick house. The black matches the railing, and so far, plants look good. Was wondering, though, if with time, these planters will stain the concrete below?"
