Came in exactly as advertised. It’s a little pricey, but completely worth it. It has a plugged drainage hole in the bottom that’s rubber. You can easily take it in and out. I simply put mine on a saucer, unplugged the drainage hole, so when I water, the water can slide out and collect the saucer pan.It’s very sturdy, strong, and the color does look black almost like matte black metal. It’s nonreflective. It looks great and modern. If you purchase a saucer pan for underneath it, you need one that’s 2 inches larger than the planter. The reason for this is because most plant pots are 12 inches on the top, but they get slimmer in the bottom.Beyond that. Packaging was great, delivery was rapid and it looks really nice. It has some way to it so it feels high-quality.UPDATE: 6/6/2024I haven't changed rating and everything still stand, but I wanna tell people that after having it for a long time it's very slow drying. It has a drainage hole for excess water but the issue that I'm having is it it seems to dry extremely slow, we're talking about almost 4 weeks and it still doesn't dry and it's being used and a pretty decently environment a downward firing AC unit from the ceiling, including two fans in the living room. It simply just very slow to dry.The reason I have not changed my rating is because the plant that I have in there was not fully formed. The root was not developed extensively and had more dirt. it's just strange because normally other pots dry more rapidly so this one most likely because of the material doesn't lose moisture rapidly. anyways I switched the plant out with something with a heavier root system / more developed and slightly bigger. I'll update after a month to see the results.
