Know before you buy
Yes, it is quite substantial. Weighing in at 361 lbs, this cast stone piece is designed to be stable and freestanding, making it unlikely to tip over in typical outdoor conditions.
Cast stone is incredibly durable and weather-resistant, requiring very little upkeep. We recommend simply rinsing it with water occasionally to remove debris, and you may want to cover it during harsh winter freezes if you live in a climate with extreme temperature fluctuations.
While it is designed primarily for outdoor use, you can certainly place it indoors if you have a sturdy, level floor capable of supporting the 361-pound weight. Just be mindful that it includes a drainage hole, so you will need a saucer or tray underneath to protect your flooring.
The piece features a centered, approximately 1-inch drainage hole designed to prevent water from pooling at the roots of your plants. This ensures proper aeration and helps maintain plant health, even during heavy rainfall.
The patinas are hand-applied finishes over the cast stone. Because they are applied by hand, there may be slight variations in color and texture, which adds to the unique, artisanal character of each piece.
