Poorly designed and overpriced.
After you follow the directions and fill the container with water to the overfill hole, it starts to bulge at the bottom causing the tray with dirt and plant on top to sink. This is a poorly designed product that will not hold its shape. Since the product does look nice, I used my own solution to fix this by drilling holes at the base and removing the water. So far it worked but only time will tell. For the price paid, this is poorly designed.

Hi Toby, Thank-you for your feedback and for purchasing our Mayne Planters. We're extremely sorry to hear about the difficulties you have experienced with your Cape Cod Tall Planters. If you would like to reach out to our Customer Service team at customerservice@gomayne.com with photos of your concern will be certainly be happy to assist you with a warranty exchange. It is also important to note that when using any of our "tall" planters that use the "tray" system that lightweight fillers like Styrofoam, lightweight pine bark mulch, vermiculite or pearlite are recommended to reduce the overall weight placed on the tray to prevent collapse. Again our apologies for the issues and any inconvenience that may have been caused but again, please feel free to reach out, we are here to help!

    Happy with purchase
    Bought for one of our ferns inside our home. Happy with the solid colour. We had bought a different brand in grey and while I can appreciate the use of recycled materials, the discolouration and marked appearance are one thing if used outside, not so nice if used indoors. So we are generally quite happy with the product.

      So big and very pretty, love that it can be customized for self watering but it is extremely difficult to get the tray in and out.

      Buckling at the bottom. Better self water than others. The buckling is due to the weight of the water is at the bottom of the planter. It’s filled halfway up and reservoir in the middle is constantly filled

      Hello, thanks for your feedback. Our products are made from 100% polyethylene which is plastic/resin. This allows us to add in UV inhibitors to the material which creates an all season planter that has a 15 year warranty against fading, cracking and bulging. The texture added to the mold to create this planter is to remove the look of plastic. I'm sorry to hear that that look didn't satisfy you 100%. I know that Home Depot has a great return policy if you find that you don't completely love them!

      The planter is very attractive. The color was true to the pictures on line. I’ve yet to realize if the self-watering feature works because we’ve been in a drought so I’ve been watering manually. The only negative aspect of the planter is that when the reservoir is full, the panels bulge.

      Response from Mayne Product ExpertJan 16, 2020
      Typically when we see this issue of bulging it is either because the overflow drain hole has not been drilled or has become blocked, causing the pressure of the water in the base to push the walls of the planter out and the tray to collapse.

      The material Mayne products are made from has incredible memory; once the planter is emptied and the pressure of any excess water/soil is relieved, the planter should slowly return to its original form.

      If you have verified that the drainage was properly drilled and if you have emptied the planter and it does not seem to be reforming, please feel free to send photos to customerservice@gomayne.com showing the location of the drain hole as well as any remaining warping and we will be happy to review further.

      They are not worth your money. First, since they are plastic, they look cheap. Next, the plastic is porous so they get very dirty and they resist being wiped off. Finally, the worst of it is they are weak. One of ours collapsed with the weight and sunk. I had to unplant everything and add structure to the bottom so the shelf wouldn't fall in again. The result was a sidewall which bowed and now looks awful. I am either going to chalk up my losses at $250 or try to salvage them.

        You won't be disappointed!
        This planter is even more beautiful in person! I was a little hesitant since I couldn't see it in person prior to ordering it, and figured I'd just take it back to my local Home Depot if I didn't like it. That's not going to happen! Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this planter!

        Nice planters
        Just received these and they are very nice. I don't intend to do the self watering feature. I have a cottage style house with white trim and these are perfect.

        Light and easy to store. Only wish the opening was a little bigger to put more plants in. Great planter for the price.
