Nice PlanterCorten Steel Trough Planter, 16" x 46" x 16"

Comes in a flat box as raw, unoxidized steel. Super easy to assemble with 10 screws. The pieces are very nicely designed and fit together perfectly - the screws thread into pre-tapped holes so there is no fussing with washers / nuts. It took me 15 min to assemble with just a screwdriver. The unit has drain holes in the bottom plate and small rails that serve as ‘feet” that run across the bottom of the planter to allow for draining. All in all a great buy.

I’d say you get what you pay for, but since these are 1/4 the price of many other options I think it’s well beyond that.If you’re a little bit handy these are easy to assemble and plenty sturdy thus far.Expect a gray metal to arrive and rust over time, (or if impatient you can speed rust them)Assembly — I did mine solo. Balancing the container on a sawhorse and with a bit of care it was easy enough. Though some might prefer two people.Hardware concerns—- I didn’t have any issues with it. They even provide a rethreading screw if anything gets stripped. I didn’t need the supplied bits but used them as a backup anyway. An extra screw or two just in case would be nice though.Item isn’t flimsy, albeit perhaps more flexible than the far heavier far more expensive options. But once filled with soil, the panels will lock into place and stay there. *Make sure you slide them into the slots correctly though.*Quality - again on the price, my first arrived with a bent metal edge that needed to be hammered carefully back into alignment, otherwise screw holes didn’t line up. This was easy to navigate, and once corrected all was perfect.So bottom line, if you’re a bit handy these are an extraordinary deal. If you’re not, you can pay more to avoid a bit of assembly and problem solving.

This is a good product, but there might be a better option for you.These are good quality corten steel planters, but they are delivered in a flat pack and you put them together. It took me about 25 minutes to put the first one together and maybe 15 minutes each for the next three. Watching Nice's video really helped; the suggestion to use a box to hold up one end when putting these together yourself helped. Each planter includes one self-driving screw in case the holes don't line up and I ended up using a couple of them. Also, the slots that you put the end pieces in were warped on most of them likely due to damage in shipping, so I had to use a flat head screwdriver to push them out to slot the end pieces in.You should also know that, like all steel planters, these will arrive unrusted. I speed rusted mine. You can find instructions for doing this online.So what's the better option? The last time I bought steel planters I live in an area where you could buy fully welded planters for about the same price. This saves you from putting them together and they will be sturdier. But if you can't find any fully welded ones nearby, this is a good option.

The planter looks really cool. Nice hot-rolled steel pattern on it. The only issue was that the bottom plate had a dent in the middle when I received it. The seller was really great and sent a replacement right away. Excellent service.

We purchased 3 20X40X20 planters for use in landscape bed adjacent to our front porch. They arrived in perfect condition on our front porch. The box takes 2 people to move, and best to have 2 people to put together. The assembly was easy to figure out. The gauge of the steel is very sufficient for being planters. They arrive without any of the rust. But just a few days outside in the rain, the rust started forming. What you are seeing in these pictures is 3 weeks since assembly was done and planters being left outside. It took us 3 weeks to remove the old shrubbery from the bed, prepare the area making to make it level. Their weekend we were ready to put the planters into place, fill them and plant.We are very happy with the outcome and are much looking forward to the beautiful rust patina naturally occurring over the course of the summer. We place the black Mexican beach pebbles around the base of the planters. I’m planning on moving those back away from the planters just a bit until the patina coloring is done. I’ve read this might not be necessary, but we have quite an investment in the black rocks and don’t want them to get the rust on them.I highly recommend NICE Corten Steel planters. The seller is very attentive if you have any questions to ask of him.

Will take awhile to get the rust finish as we live in Arizona. Solid piece easily assembled. Sprayed automotive undercoat on interior and bottom a put insulation pieces over. Plants doing well.

Will update with photos in the future, just assembled the two from the and ordered another. One box did come with a nice rip in the box, so some of the metal was a little warped/sprung and had some rust starting (no issue!)- but with a little banging it all fit together snuggly. Did not realize the assembly is pretty much impossible without the base (was hoping to just have them open on the base to our natural soil), but our fault for not doing more research. We are letting them naturally rust over time, so can update in future with how that does.

I like the look and stregth of the box. I did call Demetri Shein and spoke with him from Nice Planter LLC, and he was patient and helpful to infomr me about the screw holes, as I had trouble geting the screws in and through (because the are threaded). Put the nots on after tightening the screws and lock them down for extra stregth. Enjoy, and thanks to Demetri!
