Sustainably Grown Weather-Resistant Solid Eucalyptus Deck And Patio Pieces

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

The product is very good quality and looks great. It is a bit pricey.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

I really like the product. It's attractive and provides the additional seating space I wanted on our new deck. I found it to be sturdy, but my husband felt the need to add additional support to the benches to ensure the safety of our more portly friends and neighbors.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

The description of each individual item was so poorly written that I couldn't determine what I needed to order. After reading other comments, I figured out the "Sustainably Grown, Weather-Resistant Solid Eucalyptus Planter Trellis" is actually the very small trellis behind one planter and doesn't include a planter. [$] + shipping is extremely expensive for a framed piece of cheap lattice. So, I ordered the two benches and three planters and it arrived promptly, which was nice. It also went together easily, however, I didn't know the planters didn't have a bottom or that the benches weren't securely attached. I would have preferred to have trellises behind the entire unit, but not willing to spend an extra $660 just in trellises!!

Had to call plow and hearth because the boxes were missing internal fittings for the screws to fit into and had to have all planter boxes replaced. The boxes are not well constructed and the finish was not good.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

I got the 2 benches and 3 planters. It was real easy to put together thanks to a cordless power driver. May seem obvious to other people but the instructions did not mention that there is an upside and downside to the planter walls. There is a lip on the downside to catch the "floor" of the planter. I got 2 out of 3 put together wrong before noticing that. I wish the benches were longer or you could pick and choose from different lengths. My deck is about 7 x 18 feet. What I ordered is fine for the short side, but I have to get another order of 1 bench and 2 planters to fit along the long side. Would have been nice if I could have chosen 1 planter and 1 bench since I don't really need 5 planters to do what I want to do. That is not such a big deal - I will just have 2 planters in between benches on my long side or have a 1 off planter somewhere. I am even considering using the wood from the 5th planter to fashion a "table top" for the 4th planter. That way I could have flowers on each end of my bench on the short side and the long side would have 2 benches with flowers on the ends and table in the middle to set drinks on or whatever.

It matched the redwood water seal I used on the deck pretty well.

Other than more options for customization, I really like it.

I ordered the bench with planters and trellis for bench to put free-standing on the edge of my patio. The small planter trellises were not shown on the website, so I assumed they were included. Not so...It wasn't until I'd put everything I ordered together that I realized you can't attach the trellis for bench to the bench without the planter trellises. However, it was not clear where or how to purchase them. After a phone call and email with the customer service department to try and figure out what was going on, the smaller trellises have appeared on the website but are on backorder and won't arrive before my climbing plants will need something to climb on. Now instead of spending [$], which seemed reasonable, the whole arrangement will cost around $500 and I couldn't even put it together until the other trellises arrived in a few months. Basically, while this product is lovely, assembles easily and would have been great, make sure you order everything you need to be able to actually put it together. For me, it wasn't worth the extra $200 for two small trellises that wouldn't arrive on time so I'm returning the large trellis and buying cheaper trellises from a local store.

Love this product. It is a great addition to our deck. When we received this there were no instructions included so I called and the customer service representative sent them over ASAP. Also it turned out that we received a returned product (you could tell someone tried to put it together and the screws etc were in a bag that was not Plow and Hearth bags)and when I let the customer service rep know she refunded my shipping and gave me a partial credit. Great job by the company.

Looks very nice and adds a great deal to patio area

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

I have had many compliments with the addition of 3 sets of planters with benches to my patio. I used large ferns inside the planters but would have much preferred to have an adjustable inner shelf that a reasonably priced planter could sit on. I will have to figure something out for next year. Assembly required! The trellis I sent back because they wouldn't withstand the wind [...] It has taken nearly 2 months to be credited for them.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

we purchased this to add seating to our backyard and provide for more bamboo "screen" in the planters. the planters are actually open planter boxes that we will now need to find inserts for or build in there ourselves. quality of the wood is fine and the stain is even and as it appeared in the catalog. easy assembly. now that we have been looking for the inserts for the planters, realize that the "value" wasn't as great as initially thought - $250 actually seems a bit high but then again, it sure was nice to just order it and have it delivered! we'll see how it survives a season outdoors - we've only had it for a few weeks thus far.

Loved it but too expensive had to return it

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

The planter needs a flat bottom with holes for drainage, not a couple of slats. I want to plant directly into the planter not use another pot inside.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

We just built a new patio and needed seating on the edge. This was perfect and I was able to add pots of plants to show everything off. After ordering two sets we ordered a third!

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

[...] arrived with assembly defects/fasteners. Some of the holes were drilled with no threads to hold the screws. We had to tap threads to complete assembly. We are happy with the final outcome.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

I bought this for my patio, and was supprised how easy it was to put together. It is a perfect addition and looks great with the plants on the ends. I love it.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

Instead of Deck railings that are very expensive, I use these. I bought 2 sets of 3 planters and two benches. These go along the back and sides of my deck

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

Looks great on my deck

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

Based on catalog info. that product can be stained, I protected with outdoor polyurethane before putting them into use. By mid-way through first year the finish is peeling and ugly.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

This item lifted my patio into a classy place. The potted plants now have
a lovely place on my patio.

Great item.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

I purchased this for our retirement community's resident garden. The resident gardeners loved the planters, and they enjoy sitting on the benches and admiring the fruits of their labors. These are attractive and functional for the price. A good value.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

This is a beautiful way to have extra seating around our chimaenea and it does not take up a lot of space on our deck. It was easy to assemble but the bottom of the planter boxes are a wide lattice and we had to put very large rocks ontop of landscaping mesh in it to stop the dirt from escaping. They fit two people on each seat and it does not feel like it will collapse.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

I was disappointed with:
1. You cannot actually plant directly into the planters because dirt would come out of the bottom. The bottoms should be soild with drainage holes.
2. Wood color is totally different than picture-hope it is the wood you say it is.
3. Wood plugs that sover screw holes do not fit-half are too big to fit into the holes. I am calling to get more of them from you.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

Use for decorative uses on our lunai. I like the fact that you can put pots in the planters and change our your plants according to seasons.Also you can use as seats when you're entertaining and don't have enough chairs.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

The bench is on our patio, and it looks great with the planters on each end. Great quality I love it!

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

[...] exactly as ordered and no defects or issues.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

We are using the product to fill a space on the corner of our deck. It looks beautiful there, and will be more so once the flowers fill in.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

Great

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

Product exceeds my expectations.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Bench Planter:

The color of the wood is actually dark brown. The picture led me to believe it was much lighter. Also, the planters will not hold dirt; I had to find pots that would fit inside them.
I do like the look of the benches and planters even though it was not what I had pictured.
