corten pedestal planter

Damaged, poorly made, missing screws

Veradek keeps spamming me for feedback even though I unsubscribed so here goes. I have owned 10 corten Span planters for several years and have been happy with those so when I needed another I ordered this. The shipping box was undamaged but one of the panels was all bent up. The return process was too much of a pain so I got to it with a mallet and pliers and bent it back into shape. It didn't come with enough fasteners so I had to go to my spares bucket to assemble it. Unlike the Span planters which are one-piece, assembly is required and there are seams at the corners. The fitment of the undamaged panels is poor - there are gaps in the corners where they come together. The supplied allen wrench is too long to use on the corner fasteners. There are huge gaps in the shelf so dirt just falls through to the bottom without adding screens. Welds are visible from the outside and haven't been rusting uniformly with the rest of the planter. Such a disappointment after owning the one-piece Span planters. Won't be buying another Veradek planter as the quality has fallen off a cliff but they don't care, they already have like $2k of my money.

Very Nice, But Would Be Better With a Liner

Great Product!

This is my third corten pedestal planter - I really like the rustic look. They go together fairly easily - it's better if you have someone helping. I put a cinder block in the bottom of them to ensure the wind doesn't tip it, but that's probably overkill.
