Veradek Corten Steel Series Pedestal Planter - Tall Corten Steel Planter for Outdoor Porch/Patio | Naturally Rusting Steel for All-Weather Use | Modern Rustic Décor for Tall Plants, Trees, Flowers

I did have to take a few deep breaths trying to thread those wing nuts, not going to lie. But the final results are worth it. These are going to be so cool when they patina to their final stage. The pieces matched great, the small weld spots (that one review spoke of) will most likely disappear when they rust. I’m excited to fill them with plants. I went and sprayed them with the hose to get the process started. I will be looking into ways to speed up the process, I’ve heard vinegar in a spray bottle can help. UPDATE: I mixed Salt, Vinegar, and Hydrogen Peroxide in a spray bottle and sprayed them until they were drenched. I came back from running errands a few hours later and they were beautifully partina’d. They are under cover on my front porch so they weren’t going to have a chance to transform on their own. I love them. They reinforce the rusted tin skirting on my house. Coming together!!

Great product .. Allan key was not really appropriate in sizing.. and you do need nimble fingers.. but definitely worth it so far.. let’s see how it winters!

First - these are gorgeous and incredibly sturdy. Here are a few items the instructions forgot: 1. You will need to restock your band-aid supply (and I have "piano fingers"). 2. Have your friends come over - these are a two-man lift 3. (At a minimum) Have an "I'm sorry for what I said during assembly" card handy Once you've got it all assembled, inserts are very hard to find, I'm hoping the garden fairies leave one in exchange for my firstborn. All jokes aside, the customer service for this Veradek company is outstanding. I have several of their planters and love every one of them.

I like the size of this planter. It will really set off the green foliage once I have planted. I am using the winter to allow for the rusting process to 'cure'. I will then seal the outside. I don't really want the rust to stain the new concrete that was just poured. It'll be amazing when this summer comes and the hints of the orange rust offset the rich greens of the plants. One negative comment is that these were more difficult to assemble, given the tight space in which the bolts/nuts had to be inserted. But it came out beautiful.

I am deeply disappointed in Amazon and Veradek for all the trouble I have been through. I had purchased several planters that cost $2285.23. Unfortunately, the planters did not arrive as they looked in the pictures on the listing, so I had to return the planters back to Veradek. The planters were returned and signed for on August 30, 2024, at Veradek. After a short time, I followed up with Amazon and Veradek about my refund. Veradek responded, "Please reach out to buyer support. We are so sorry; unfortunately, this is a very rare occurrence. We do not have a way to fix this and have reached out to amazon daily for help but there is no solution yet. Please let us know what they say! Thanks so much." When I reach out to Amazon the cusotmer service rep assures me they going to solve this issue and they are filing an A-Z Claim, but the next time I reach out to Amazon, they don't have a record of a claim being filed. I have repeatedly jumped through every hoop, returned the items, followed up with Veradek and Amazon, and filed A-Z Claims at least three times. Every time I messaged, everyone thanks me for my patience. What did I get for my patience? Nothing! Amazon informed me that the time has passed to file a claim, and they can do nothing, and Veradek says they can't do anything either. Leaving me without the planters I paid for or my money that was to be refunded. Amazon and Veradek don't care about the customers because they got $2285.23 and the planters back that they can sell for the same or more money. The most disheartening part of this experience is the feeling of being ignored, which has left me feeling undervalued as a customer. Am I surprised by any of this? Not really. Here is an update to the saga... After three months of repeated follow-ups with Amazon and Veradek, I finally got my refund. Veradek was always responsive, but so was Amazon. I am just happy to have this matter resolved and my money back.

I bought three of these planters in different sizes for our desert backyard. They were extremely easy to put together. The solution they suggest takes FOREVER to rust them, so we went to youtube and found a video of a different method that worked wonders. You can easily search for the solution on there. Once rusted they really made our backyard look like a magazine. They have held up well in the sun and heat. They are heavy and sturdy. They do soak up heat so I keep aloes and plants that can tolerate the heat in them.

Well I have purchased several of this style planter and these are by far the sturdiest I have purchased. We are using these in a desert landscaping but would be attractive in any scenario. My biggest problem with them is the delivery service that deliver them (not Amazon), they either deliver to the wrong house, or they deliver them in front of my screen door. When delivered in front of the door, I need to go out the back door then go to the front so I can move them. Hmmm.

Really upgraded the look in front of our house. Placed in front of our pillars. Putting it together requires patience. If you have a friend with small fingers, ask them to help you. The formula for rusting it worked within a day.

These are so beautiful… more than exceeded my expectations! Pretty easy to assemble and they started to change colour almost immediately. I bought 2 tall ones and one shorter/wider one for our backyard. I can’t wait for them all to change colour fully… absolutely adorable. Very rustic looking as they change and the steel is definitely good quality and quite heavy… so no tipping over in the wind and dumping out the plant! You would not be disappointed!

Fairly easy to setup, looks great before and after rusting. Ours arrived without the screws etc. but the seller quickly sent them when messaged.

Voir photo ! En ce qui a trait a l’assemblage un peu ardue… mais j’avoue que pour le transport c’est pratique. À suivre

I gave 4 stars because the assembly of the planter was time consuming due to the restriction of space inside the planter. The overall look is good and sturdy. I have put the planter outside for the winter to see how the colour changes. I would purchase this again and have more patience when I put it together!!

Corten steel planter is yet another product from Veradek that I am fascinated with! Bravo! Steel is of the great quality, packing is superb, brand name is engraved, shipping with fedex was gentle and super fast. Even in the steel color the planter is very nice, but I will let it get patina naturally over winter months to get its true beauty. Alberta needs to get Veradek stores like Ontario and BC! The price was surprisingly less than any competition. I also like the fact that Amazon prices don’t fluctuate unlike the other highly advertised online seller for household items. Wish there was a round planter from Veradek... and some arbors....and benches.....and trellises...and the bird baths ....and bird houses......
