Know before you buy
No, this planter does not feature drainage holes. If you plan to use it outdoors where it will be exposed to rain, you may want to drill a hole in the base or use a liner to prevent water from pooling.
Cast stone is a dense, durable material designed for outdoor longevity. However, because it is porous, it is recommended to elevate the planter off the ground during winter to prevent it from absorbing moisture that could expand and crack the base during a freeze.
The finishes are hand-applied patinas that interact with the texture of the cast stone. Because they are applied by hand, each piece will have slight variations in tone and depth, giving it a more natural, weathered appearance than a standard uniform paint.
Yes, cast stone is a heavy, substantial material. Once filled with soil and plants, the planter will be very stable and unlikely to tip over in typical outdoor wind conditions.
While the manufacturer provides a high-quality finish, cast stone is naturally porous. If you want to protect the exterior finish from mineral deposits or keep the interior cleaner, you can apply a concrete sealer, but it is not strictly required for the structural integrity of the piece.
