Know before you buy
Yes, the urn weighs 81 pounds, which provides a sturdy, stable base for outdoor use. Its high-density cast stone construction is designed to remain secure in most residential garden or patio environments.
You can use it indoors, but because it features a pre-installed drainage hole, you must place a saucer underneath to catch excess water. Given the weight of the piece, we recommend using felt pads on the base to protect delicate flooring surfaces.
As a natural cast stone product, the urn will develop a unique patina as it is exposed to the elements. This weathering process is part of its character and will result in subtle color shifts and textures that are specific to your local climate.
The interior dimensions are 13 inches wide by 12 inches deep. This provides ample room for medium-sized annuals, succulents, or a small ornamental shrub.
Cast stone is highly durable and generally maintenance-free. If you live in an area with freezing temperatures, we recommend elevating the planter on pot feet during the winter to ensure proper drainage and prevent water from freezing and expanding inside the base.
