What is the best use for these specific pots?

How much weight can the handles support?

Can I stack these pots when not in use?

Troubleshooting
Pot feels unstable when full
Ensure the pot is placed on a level surface. Distribute soil evenly around the base. For very heavy loads, use both sets of handles carefully and consider assistance.
Water pooling inside the pot
Verify that drainage holes are present and clear. If none exist, drill several 1/2-inch holes in the bottom. Adjust watering frequency based on plant needs and environmental conditions.
Handles feel strained
Do not overfill the pots. Distribute weight evenly. If moving a very heavy pot, lift using proper techniques and consider emptying some soil first.
