Veradek Corten Steel Series Long Box Planter - Rectangular Outdoor Planter

These were perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Came in raw metal but easily turned into the rusty patina I wanted when I applied a vinegar, peroxide and salt solution. Very sturdy and well built. Excellent product!!

Love the quality of these planters. They are well constructed and easy to put together. They even come with Styrofoam lining to help insulate. It's fun to watch the steel age and weather. Would purchase again.

I followed the recommended”recipe” to hasten the rusted look. The assembly was a little challenging because it didn’t come with instructions, but eventually I figured it out. It would have been helpful to have a diagram. I think I wound up attaching the sides first and then the bottom last.

Just received 4 of them. These have to be put together... only the screws/nuts are located such that you can't get to them to make the install without magic... which I do not have. For what I paid for these I expected MUCH better. Will return all 4. Crazy!!!!

I searced for awhile trying to find something that would match my bed (steel and walnut), and finally came across these planters. They look perfect and are really beautiful. I would highly recommend them and also encourage their use beyond just a planter...As far as craftsmanship goes, these things are a beast. Even empty they are heavy as he.. and definitely made to last.

The planter is pictured with a rusty patina however it arrives as a stainless steel box. Not particularly attractive and certainly not the way it's pictured. Over time the patina has begun to build. However it is uneven and spotty and takes time for it to look the way it did in the ad. It is starting to look nice. However don't buy it if you're expecting it to look good for this weekend's party.

Unless you have a ton of patience and loads of spare time, I’d avoid this product. The directions aren’t very clear and even though I have relatively small hands, getting those screws and nuts to line up and then screw together was a challenge and time consuming. I switched when they said to use wing nuts and when to use the floating nuts. They were somewhat easier to get started. The allen key was basically useless.That all being said, it’s rusting the way it’s supposed to and will due the trick.IT’S EXPENSIVE AND NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I BET YOU CAN FIND A BETTER PLANTER ELSEWHERE.I feel I got ripped off mainly because my time is valuable and it would have been a total pain to return.

Very heavy duty and well constructed. I followed the directions to rust it. That was no problem.

I like it very much now that it’s outside. It was very tricky to put together. The instructions don’t address this. I would have liked a bit more info. After 45 minutes, I did figure it out. It will be tougher for people who have larger fingers. Two advanced degrees did not help.

This planter comes as raw metal and is supposed to rust over time to the colour portrayed in the ad. Clearly I didn’t read the ad well enough but I also don’t recall any photos in the ad of the planter in its untrusted form.This item was totally unusable for its intended location. The rusting process would not just happen magically. It would be slow and messy leaving rust all over the patio; and I doubt it would rust to anywhere near the evenness of the colour portrayed or even be the colour portrayed.I did process a return. The return label clearly said postage required. It is quite heavy and would cost a fair bit to return.I donated it to some unsuspecting prize table for a local golf tournament.

I love the planter, however it took me at least three and a half hours to assemble just one. I ordered two, so if the second one, which I haven't started yet, takes as long that's seven hours of my life used for assembling just two planters. Perhaps if my fingers were skinnier and longer I may have done it quicker and easier, however I must say that assembly was a frustrating experience for me. Are these available pre-assembled? I would gladly pay an additional $50 per planter for that option. I knocked off one star for difficulty of assembly, however if I did the review while I was working on it I would have knocked off three or four.

I purchased 2 of these and I was surprised how small they are, very misleading, emailed twice the seller to return and not even a respond and Amazon says you have to contact seller.. too expensive for the size.

Incredibly awkward to put together. Something so simple in construction shouldn’t take this much effort to put together. Will never use these products again.
