Veradek Block Series Medium Indoor/Outdoor Span Planter (30" H x 10" W x 38" L, White)

Nice planter fits the space well and looks great!

First let me say our Veradek planter arrived early and was in perfect condition. Was as described and appeared to strongly built-we’ve tested ours and it has proved to be tough. We wanted a long flower box to stand just below the railing of our deck so that planted flowers would extend above the rail but not so high as to block our view. PERFECT height and not so long that it took up to much space. Very pleased. Now for the design. It’s 30” high and only the planter to holds dirt so it’s quite top heavy. There’s no flange at the bottom to stabilize so the first 30 mph wind blew it over. No damage but a mess. I put rocks in the bottom but then a 60-70 mph wind (no exaggeration-severe weather) blew it over again. No damage. I told you it was tough. In truth it blew slats out of the neighbor’s fence. No freestanding planter would have stood. This brings the second design concern. The planter insert must be 15” deep. This means a lot of potting soil and it’s very heavy when wet. I would have thought 10” would have been adequate for our needs and it would be less top heavy. The planter insert fits almost seamlessly into the base and there are no finger grooves or flanges for lifting. When full, I can’t get the insert out without a prying tool and it’s almost impossible to lower back in without pinching fingers on the sharp edges. Veradek should mold some gripping areas into their design. But an easy cure. See picture. Drilled a couple of holes and put rope lifting handles on each side. Dirt and flowers cover the rope so it’s not visible. Just not reasonable to think one will never have to remove the insert to change flowers now and then and it’s really hard to do. Back to the bottom line. I’d recommend this item. Perfect for our needs and has demonstrated its toughness. We really like having the flowers. If it isn’t an indoor installation, will need to be weighted at the bottom. If hurricane strength winds like we experienced are common maybe you don’t need a deck planter. Lifting handles would be nice, but are easy to make

Nice looking, light and very modern. Easily moved around.

Great workmanship

Love this planter. Very nice looking and very well made. I am using it indoors, but like the product description says, it can also be used outdoors. Good quality. Delivery within 2 days -not 7 days as initially indicated when I placed the order! Well packaged for transport.
