Customer Reviews for Emsco 13 in. 3-Tier Resin Flower and Herb Vertical Gardening Planter in Terra Cotta

This product would be ideal and would have gotten a higher rating from me if it had a center pole included to attach the tiers to. We fabricated our own. The tiers would not snap together and would have fallen oven with a slight breeze or tap sending flowers and dirt everywhere. It looks beautiful after it has been filled with plants.

I have this filled with flowers and I have people stop to ask me what I have them in. I love it, it looks beautiful!!

Innovative design with three separate removable tiers/trays, allowing for the plants to be rearranged according to light, growth, etc. Very well made also. I planted mine with 9 different herbs!

this are 3 separate layers, exactly the same, so the layers can be swap, grooves on bottom of each layer interlock with the upper lip of the layer below, this keep the layers from spinning and I assume it can prevent distortion if more layers (weights) are added, but at 3 layers, the sturdy walls keep their shape once loaded with dirt, in my case I got 4 sets of 3, to make 6 double-tier hanging planters, as 3-tier was overwhelming once suspended, on the floor 3-tier looks better than 2-tier

The planter was a little hard to assemble, but turned out beautiful. The plants fit perfectly in the pots.

Got two for myself and put them together. I suggest you put a 1/2 PVC pipe in the middle to steady. I got some small cel pack of a dozen plants for each and some soil and assembled. I got many compliments and gave them for mother's day gifts with the flowers

I only have a balcony to grow herbs and plant, so this planter seemed like the solution to small space. There were no instructions, so it took awhile to figure out how to stabilize it. I did discover that there are notches on the bottoms of the 3 containers of 3, and they appear to interlock via these. So far, I'm still working on it, but I think it will be wonderful. I'll even submit pictures once the plants grow. I may buy another 2 later in the season, as well. So, I would recommend for the small urban garden, or limited space, for herbs and annuals. It's not large enough for tomatoes, or peppers...

Love this planter. Easy to stack and use. Have bought multiples.

This planter is very attractive and sturdy. It's a great idea, especially for herbs. And fantastic that in the winter I can bring them inside! Let me just point out that it is January so I don't have any full bloom plants to show you. But this planter inspired me to plant some seeds/seedlings and get my herb garden started early. At first I thought the hole that goes thru the center was for a pole to hold it together but it is a drainage hole. The layers have little lips to hold them in place. However, when you place the pots inside, if they are not balanced the whole thing comes toppling over. I read the label and followed the manufacturer's suggestion. But it might be better to put the dirt inside without any pots and that will keep it nice and balanced. It has good drainage holes and a nice pan bottom to catch any excess water and dirt, so either indoor or outdoor would be good options. It is very pretty - the color is very nice. I decided I am going to keep it on the front porch in the summer because it matches the border trim and will look beautiful when the plants are in full bloom. My overall rating would have been excellent if it was balanced somehow. It is also made in the USA. :O)

The planter is larger than what I expected and it takes up a bit more space sitting in front of my window, but overall it is sturdy and the plastic plant holders are stable. The plant holder trays are rather deep and will fit small to almost medium sized planters but be sure to measure your plant containers first. The bottom tray sits on the base without any snaps to hold it while the other two trays have snaps that hold them onto each other. They are a bit hard to snap on but firm pressure will get them to snap. I have several plant containers in the tower now as I have started some herbs.

Didn’t wor for I needed

This item works very nicely for me, I will probably buy another in the future.

Good Quality. Arrived promptly.

It doesn't want to snap together properly and there is a weird hole in the side of the one planter that I didn't know if it should be at the top or bottom of the stack. Will not buy again.

Does not stay together very good, mine came in without instructions, and had NO drainage holes.

I only used two tiers stacked together and used the third tier separately. I think three tier on top of each other made it more difficult to plant different hight flowers in each tier.

Sturdy and easy to plant vegs and flowers.

Fooled me to buy this thinking it was actual teracotta

So far it’s working great. The prior reviews were a huge help. I made holes in each arm of planters and added small rocks to bottom of each with the use of a Phillips screwdriver and hammer. Added one herb plant to each planter. I put it in my enclosed deck for easy access.

It works, it's a little awkward getting the plants in with soil.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

The pot doesn't balance evenly, looks clunky and unstable. I do not recommend it nor will I buy another.

I could not get it put together. Poorly made.

Love the look. Easy to assemble, each layer just sits in grooves of the other. Hoping they make a larger size!
