Some may be tempted to steal this planter, but they would fail. Handmade in the USA of fiber reinforced concrete--a superior material for outdoor planters because of its durability and weather resistance--it is backed by rebar steel. It comes in three pieces for a total weight of 274 lbs. The bench has a planting depth of 4.5" that can be filled with potting soil or rocks for those seeking a platform for a number of pots.
