IDEALIST 25cm Square Planter for Garden | White Reinforced Stone Flower Pot with Drainage Holes L25 W25 H25.5 cm, 10 litres

Whilst not the cheapest I am so pleased with this purchase, it is an unusual mix of materials (fiberglass and concrete i believe?) so it looks and feels like stone and not plasticy at all, also quite heavy. Would recommend as really stands out and looks high quality.

I want to stand this outside the front of the house. I didn’t want it to discolour in any way so I have put 3coats (to be sure) of sealant inside and out. At the moment it is still “curing for 28 days”. I have bought a tri colour Buddleia bush for it which (hopefully) will look lovely when it’s planted and grown.

Not cheap but worth every penny

Looks beautiful and lovely people to deal with

I got this for my garden to be in a setting with the large one. It certainly seems sturdy - like fibreglass type of construction but much stronger. Colour is good. It is light and easy to use...........hole in the bottom for drainage. It is just so expensive - for this size I sort of expected something much bigger!! I have put my mint in there since it will quickly fill the pot!!!

Not put this through the test of being outside planted up through all seasons yet which will ultimately show how this stands up. On first impressions though this planter seems pretty solid and overall good value considering the size and heavy materials used (compared to other glazed/terracotta and non-plastic products) and the composite material resembles concrete/stoneware in look and feel (without so much weight.) The planter looks like good quality and much more pleasing to the eye than a lot of the cheap plastic options available - the colours available could fit in with most styles . There’s not much chance of this being blown over in the wind or tipped accidentally by overzealous kids or pets.A couple of criticisms - a corner of the planter has been bashed and is cracked/some of the surface coating crumbled off (despite the corners of the planter being protected with cardboard covers in transit.) Thankfully, I plan to paint the planter anyway so isn’t really worth the hassle of trying to organise a return/exchange. I suppose damage in transit is always a risk with large planters like this despite recent packaging. Also I think for the volume that this planter will hold it could do with larger/more drainage holes in the bottom - only a couple relatively small holes and I’m thinking I might need to try and add to them and/or make the existing a bit bigger to ensure decent drainage before planting up.

These 2 square planters I bought are sturdy but lightweight. They arrived well packaged but unfortunately they must have got knocked by the courier as one corner was damaged (maybe the corners need specially moulded polystyrene protectors). Get Potted sorted a replacement immediately and sent another to me within a couple of days in fact their customer service and communication can't be faulted.The planters now have a small shrub in each one and look great.

Original planter send arrived cracked in several places, despite being well packaged. Suspect item was damaged before being packaged. Contacted seller who immediately organised a replacement which was promptly sent and arrived in perfect condition. Item is sturdy and when filled should stop my tree from blowing over in strong winds
