Ivyline Artstone 102160 Pot 17x15cm - Claire Black

Huge craft on the side. Product utter useless. Came in a huge 3.5' x 3' x 3' box. Returning this is very burdensome for me and serves absolutely not purpose. I can take a picture of the broken item and that should be sufficient. I am not wasting 1.5 hours of my life returning this item. Instead I am forced to waste £29.99 of my bank account. Home delivery does not always work. However, how the problem is solved is up to the seller. I hope they have a better solution than box up a useless item and then we will give you a replacement.

These pots are 29.5cm high, 32cm diameter at the top, and 20cm diameter at the bottom. The material they are made of is about 8mm thick, so deduct that if you wish to know the how big the inside of this pot is.I give these dimensions as the exact dimensions are not mention on the product description page in a meaningful way.They are made of some form of plastic or resin material that claims to be recyclable according to the stickers on them. This claim I can not confirm nor deny.They are light-weight for their size. The look is as-per the image currently used, with a grey almost organic look that is unique to each pot.I bought two pots. Each pot is different in appearance, but the same in dimensions. They have a "water reservoir" at the bottom with the option to remove a drain plug to allow excess water to drain away, or leave the plug in and let the pot fill with water.The idea is that you can water the plant/pot and keep a small "reservoir" of water at the bottom of the pot (remove the plug) allowing excess water to drain away, or water it till the pot overflows, and the plant drowns (plug not removed.)If using this pot to hold an already potted plant in a separate pot leave the drain plug in place, and let it drink of the water saved for it.If using this pot as a pot for it's own plant remove the plug, and let the pot drain.P.S.Bought 3 more in June 2014.

I have two of these, one indoors and the other outdoors. They are spacious enough to provide sufficient space for the roots of small trees or bushes, and they have a drainage system. They also look like they are pottery material, even though they are not. On the upside, they are light, stylish, and require no maintenance at all. They look like they are going to last a long time.

Very disappointed because it's way to lightweight to use as a pot for my fern plant. It is much thinner than expected, from the thumbnail image it gave the impression that it was made of some type of cement or clay mixture that is popular for outdoor plants. The image in the description is very misleading, also it's smaller measuring 21cm X 19.5cm, also misleading.

First off, if, like me, you've been looking at the other colours in this range and are wondering if only the white pot has the drainage/reservoir + plug system because that's the only one that details this feature, then I can confirm that this (and the black ones) also have it (at least on the 17x15cm pots I bought).Quality is good, the plastic/artstone feels thicker than I imagined and the pot is a bit heavier than I thought from reading others' reviews, but yeah, it's not going to take an excessively long and weighty plant/tree and you'll need an actual stone pot, probably. I've got 30cm tall Peace Lilies in mine and they're fine. They match my man pad's dark wood and natural colour scheme's interior. My only very slight criticism is that they somehow don't look quite as authentically stone like as hoped, but it's hardly noticeable really. Are they worth £5 when you can go buy a thin plastic pot from a local store? I'd say this doesn't look or feel like it's going to crack unless you try really hard, or pot it with a 4' designer/decorative tree in it. The plug to make this into an outdoor pot (or for extra drainage is made of soft-ish rubber, so it feel like it has a fairly good seal, although one of the two I bought (in black) has leaked a tiny bit, so be careful with this.

We have gradually been changing all our pots to these. they look good, come in decent sizes when available, and the reservoir is a nice little feature both for dry spells and when you forget or can't water them.This and the others we have all lasted well through winter too, with all plants coming through the other side with no issues.So for me, a good pot that I like the look of.

I love it, but took off a star because it arrived broken and I had to get a new one as a replacement, so there was added inconvenience there as I had to take it to the post office, print off return label etc. Replacement was swift and the new one looks great though.Actual product is very good and great as you don't need an internal pot.

Fantastic pots - look and feel like stone. Makes watering a breeze with the reservoir at the bottom - I've 6 of these over the years and haven't managed to kill a single plant in them!The seller is also fantastic - I had an issue with one of the pots and it was resolved without any quibble or fuss (or cost to me). How a seller should be - 5*

I was more pleased with this plant pot than I expected to be as I'm usually wary of anything other than earthenware.It looks though, like a fine earthenware and has an eggshell like finish [I bought the white one].The seller is very accurate with the dimensions and the diameter dimension is that of the top, rather than the base, which is how it looks in the picture so it is a beautifully proportioned pot.[Plant pots are traditionally measured by the diameter of the base]There is a nice drainage unit in the bottom of the pot.Seller dispatched quickly and tracking provided for the parcel.

When I ordered I suspected that the quality of this pot wouldn't be what I was hoping for and sadly I was proved correct. It's not that the quality is terrible but this is simply a fancy plastic pot and I was hoping for something with a bit more class (as is made out in the marketing bumf underneath the product). Also towards the rim the textured pattern seems to fade away, possible where it was removed for a mould.Due to the price I'm happy to keep this and will use for a plant in a dark corner. If you're after a fancy(ish) plastic pot this is probably for you but if you want something that looks more like a classic stone pot don't be buying this product.

Good design, very sturdy, however the drainage is an issue. Even with the bottom plug pulled out it does not drain properly and tends to get blocked as the hole is too narrow. It has killed several of my plants, I’ve given up and put the item away.

I am not a fan of reservoirs in pot, but you don't have to use it so I will not mark the pot down for that.These pots look great and are lightweight too. It also like that there is a range of matching sizes.The only nuisance is that Amazon packs them one to a box, so you can end up with a housefull of boxes if you order serveral at once.Ideal for showing plants with green foliage. I am using them for fish chilies, peace lilly, and indoor palms at the moment

I have two of this size now and two other sizes. I think they look great around my home.They are lightweight, which as a negative some people have complained about them cracking in transit. I however have moved house with these stuffed close together and had no problems.The unique draining system I think has helped keep my plants healthy.

This plant pot is of good size and of good quality. The colour is arracuately white and does look plastic upon inspection. The rubber bung on the base of the pot is designed to be removed to release water from the self watering chamber in the event of over watering or downpour. I tested this with a pot full of water (no soil) but unfortunately it didnt release any water at all from the base.

It's a lovely looking pot that I would been very happy with but they are clearly brittle as I received three in a row that were cracked. I am surprised other reviewers said they were well packed as two I received were just in plastic bags. The third was in a box that clearly wasn't made for it as it was to big with no protective packaging to stop it moving around.
