FAQs
Are plants included with the planters?

What are the dimensions of the pots?

Can these planters be used outdoors?

Do the planters have drainage holes?
The product information does not specify drainage holes. It is generally recommended to use a plastic liner pot inside these decorative planters or to add a layer of gravel at the bottom for proper drainage to protect your plants and the planter itself.
What material are the planters made from?

How do I clean the planters?
Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
What is the weight capacity for each planter?
Info needed: The exact weight capacity is not specified, but they are designed to hold typical small to medium potted plants with soil securely.
Troubleshooting
Planter stand feels wobbly after assembly.
Ensure the pot is centered and seated correctly within the stand's ring. If the stand itself is wobbly, check that it is on a flat, stable surface.
Scratches appear on the black finish.
Minor scratches can sometimes be touched up with a black metal-friendly touch-up paint. For prevention, handle with care and avoid placing in high-traffic areas where they might be bumped.
Water spots or residue on the planter surface.
Wipe immediately with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and then rinse and dry thoroughly. Using a plastic liner pot can help prevent water from spilling onto the metal.
