Sana Enterprises Three Tier Plant Stand, Progressively Sized Planters or Flower Pots, Terra-Cotta

I read the reviews that the planter was not very stable, but figured if I was careful packing the dirt in it would be fine. I was wrong. The planter is very unstable, and there is also nowhere for water to drain out the bottom, so if it rains or if it gets overwatered the water will just sit there.I corrected the problems with my drill and some twine in about 10 minutes, so it wasn't a huge deal, and now the planter looks nice full of herbs on my deck. But the lack of drainage, to my way of thinking, is a definite design flaw.

I had no idea that this planter would be as big as it is. I'm loving the size and height. It is easy to assemble. As far as depth, there is plenty of room for roots for a plant to grow. As far as being unstable I see no reason for unstability. The bottom container is plenty big to hold the other two layers. It will not tip over with the bottom filled with dirt. The only reason I gave it a 4 star review is because in the name of this product and also in the description it is supposed to be terracotta in color. The stand I received is green. I would have liked the terracotta better but I'm sure I will enjoy the green. It's not worth the shipping or the time involved in waiting for a replacement. I would recommend this planter to anyone that has a love of planting and being creative and original in the design of gardening.

It is nice plant stand, it has a lot of rooms and looks very nice, however, I have few minor complaining:(1) it is not stable. I had to put it against the wall, because if someone slightly bump into it (I have a toddler always playing in back yard), first top layers will fall very easily. It is very shaky. Having it against the wall has its own disadvantage. Top layers puts shade on lower level, and I have to rotate this thing every other day to make sure plants get equal amount of sun.(2) It is not self drained, so water gets captured at the bottom of each layer and stays there.(3) Because layers are not shape as square, I had to plant plants close to the center to ensure that roots have enough depth room to grow. I could not plant anything close to the edges because it is too shallow for roots. Planting closer to the center, plants get less sun because of the top layer shadow.I planted strawberries in this stand and they are not doing too good, which has nothing to do with the product, but I think design of the product definitely contribute to failer of my strawberry plants - less sun because of top layer shadow despite of my rotation and I suspect that without good draining water damaging the roots even so top soil being dry.

The plant stand did not stay together, keep coming apart no matter how hard you try to keep it together. It doesnt snap into place. Very disappointed with product.

I've had one of these for about 10 years. My sister-in-law complimented me on it years ago so, when I found it again, I ordered her one for her birthday.

I gave this to my grandmother as a gift and she was thrilled to receive it. She loves gardening and working in her yard and flowerbeds. She made a list of possible flower assortments to put in each tier of this because she couldn't decide! Great, unique item; nothing similar can be found at any local stores. Will probably purchase one for myself soon.

Nice plant stand. My second one.

I had one of these before, and loved it. It looks nice with the tiers on the deck, or in a space in the yard that's bare..
