Know before you buy
Yes, Waffles the Puppy comes with a pre-drilled drainage hole to ensure proper water runoff and prevent root rot for your plants.
Because it is made of high-grade cast stone concrete, it is weather-resistant and durable enough for outdoor use year-round. However, we recommend bringing it indoors or covering it if you live in an area with extreme freeze-thaw cycles to prevent potential cracking.
The specialized stain is designed to interact with the elements over time. As the planter is exposed to sun, rain, and air, the color will naturally soften and evolve, giving each piece a unique, weathered look that deepens in character.
Yes, weighing in at 12 pounds, this planter is quite sturdy. Its solid concrete construction and stable base design make it well-suited for tabletop or patio use without the risk of tipping over easily.
Maintenance is minimal. You can simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth or use a soft brush and mild soap with water if you need to remove dirt or debris.
