Tusco Products MSQ20BK Modern Square Garden Planter, 20-Inch, Black

I looked all over Amazon for a pot in which to put an artificial indoor tree that's 6-ft tall. I wanted a "tall" planter but they are hard to find! Most of the big ones were too tall (like 26 inches!) and/or too expensive. This one was perfect - the 19 inch height was perfect for my application and the price is very good for the quality. I'm impressed with the look of this planter -- it does not look cheap and there is a textured look that makes it look like a much more expensive piece. I love the way this planter looks in my home office. The only bad thing is that there is a "bump" at the bottom so in order for the artificial tree to stand up straight I had to elevate it about 4 inches (used an old "fat" coffee can to do this). I had to weight it down and used some decorative pebbles. @Tusco products, thank you for selling a high quality product at a very reasonable price point. Item was well packaged and I'm very happy I returned my more expensive planter from another seller and went with this one!

Very impressive pot.

I purchased the 16” and the 20” pots to fit different size spaces inside. The pots match the decor perfectly and you cannot tell that they are plastic. They are very lightweight and make it easy to fill them as needed without the planters becoming too heavy. They do not come with an insert nor with holes drilled in the bottom. This worked perfect for my needs since only using for faux plants, but something to consider when planning to pot live plants.

This purchase as a pot for plants was not a good one for me. The directions state that they can be filled with a layer of rocks at the bottom for drainage, not true. You have to drill holes for drainage or the pot turns into a swamp that never dries. Needless to say, the soil got moldy, and my plant died. It was too late to return the pot when I realized this. Besides, I didn’t have a ginormous box to return it in as I tossed the one it came in out within a week as I don’t have a place to store huge boxes.As a result, I repurposed this pot into a Christmas tree stand. It works great for that purpose. I put the tree in the pot filled with rocks and dirt, covered the pot with a small solid colored Christmas tree skirt. Now, my 7.5 foot Christmas tree goes all the way up to my 9 foot ceiling with the topper on the tree. The tree looks much better than it did with only the stand holding the Christmas tree up; and now the Christmas tree is elevated off of the floor so presents can go under the tree and they can be seen instead of being jammed under and lost under the tree. The tree looks fuller and more stately now. I am very happy with this pot for that purpose.That is the only purpose I can recommend this pot for since I never saw how it functioned for live plants with holes drilled in the bottom.

Not too heavy, lools great

easy to lift, solid plastic, very deep!

UPDATE: It's now 2021, 3 years since my original review, and the pots still look like the day they arrived. They have held up to brutal Texas summers without fading or becoming brittle. I'm even more impressed now!These planters are exactly what I was looking for but didn't find locally. They look perfect in my small Asian "zen" garden. I partially filled them with some spare bricks, then I placed a hanging basket (with the hanger removed) down into the planter. I can easily change out the plants seasonally. And for the folks complaining about having to put drainage holes, I appreciate having that option. Imagine trying to seal the holes if you didn't want them. When I was trying to find a water-tight vessel in order to make a small fountain, every single one I found with the look I wanted had a large hole in the bottom.I would not have ordered planters this large on Amazon made of any breakable materials because I haven't had much luck with even mid-sized breakables surviving the journey. I like that they are made here in the US and that they have a 10-yr warranty. (Bet you can't find a clay or terracotta planter with a warranty!) I would feel better if they had been made using recycled materials, but I don't know if the finished product would be as nice.

Looks very high end. Nice.

I bought two of them a couple of years ago. They still look great with no sign of fading or wear and tear. I hope they last for many more years! Would love to be able to buy them in bigger sizes and colours such as terracotta to reduce heat absorption in the summer.

The delivery was great. Looking forward to spring planting. I hope it works as good as it looks.

Looks classy

happy with purchase

Great size without being too tall. Lightweight.
