Tusco Products UR01BK Urn Small Garden Planter, 17-inch, Black

I am very impressed with the quality of this planter. Very light and looks like stone. You have the ability to place some rocks at the bottom of the planter to drill a drainage hole. Has two seams running on either side vertically. To hide this I just angled the planter so it's not too visible. Overall good value for price.

Just what I wanted for outside my front door. Very light weight and a nice cast iron look to it. It does need drainage holes if it is intended for outdoor use. I have only been using it for two and half months but so far it is holding up nicely. My only very minor complaint is I was expecting it to be dark black in color but it looks more like a washed out or faded black.

CAUTION: If you use this planter outdoors as the description implies, you will need to drill holes into the side of the base to allow water to escape as there is no drainage hole provided. I bought two of these and put large plastic pots with flowers into them without drilling holes into the base of either urn. Within two weeks, all of the plants had died. Baffled, I removed the pots and found the urns were filled with rain water which had drowned my plants. As to whether or not the urns are "all-weather" capable, our next Wisconsin winter will tell. All in all, they are attractive urns, but a little poorly executed for the survival of plants not meant for a pond or watery habitat.

I'd been looking for urns for my porch for over a year, but didn't want to pay $100 or more per urn. This was not only a great price, but it looks like cast iron and I think looks very classy and classic on the porch of our colonial house. Just what I was looking for!

This is a well constructed, high quality, nice looking decorative urn which is "Made In America". We have it on our front porch with an artificial evergreen and others have commented on how nice it looks. The urn is reasonably priced and was delivered on-time and packaged very well.

Looks good from a distance, but the seams are pretty obvious.

This planter has smaller proportions (knee level height) and is good for my condo entryway. It's lightweight and easy to move even filled with dirt and plants. It stood up to outdoor weather in New Jersey so I came back a year later and bought another one. It needs you to drill holes in the bottom for drainage.

These look cheap in person and have a very viable seam going down two sides that is not viable in the photo posted.
