Lechuza15684 Balconera Color 80 Garden Indoor and Outdoor Use, Nutmeg Matte Self Watering Planter

I needed two window boxes that were about 30" wide for the windows above my garage. 24" was too short and 36" was too wide. I had broken one of the ones I had had for years. Searching for the 30" size brought me to these amazing window boxes. Wow! Are they expensive? Yes. But whoever designed these knew what they were doing? The lift out inside trays, the little water gauge, the self-watering feature, the inclusion of the little stones, and the construction in general -- so well thought out. I didn't need the brackets, but if you do, they are not included. The box is still worth it. I applaud the design team! Thank you.

I am so happy with my purchase. This is a beautiful and practical planter. Exactly what I was looking for.

Amazing, high quality product. WAY too expensive and I found this on several European web sites for about half the price (in Euros) but shipping brought it up to American prices so took the plunge. I bought 2 Classico 70s (27 inch diameter at top) for 2 small trees on my NYC balcony. I also have had a Classico 60 at my house in Florida for about 6 years which has a 10 foot tall Fiddle Fig growing on a porch. ( I have to cut it back periodically because it threatens to take over my porch.) Incredibly low maintenance, wipes clean, squirrels can't do any damage, though they try. I put liquid fertilizer in the reservoir once in a great while. I also have 3 Balconeras on my balcony at my NYC apartment with flowers that have thrived this summer with only a need to water them 1-2 times per week depending on the weather. (I do NOT have a green thumb!) The set-up instructions are a bit confusing initially, but we worked it out. There is a drain plug in the bottom of each pot which is red and can be removed with a screw driver. Leave the plug IN for indoor use (so water can't leak on floor if you over-fill) and take plug out for outdoor use so water CAN drain if reservoir becomes overfilled by, say, heavy rains.

These planters are expensive and require a separate purchase for the hanging hardware but are clearly designed well. The planter has an insert for easy install and removal. Also there is a little gauge for measuring water level and comes with filler gravel appropriate for allowing water diffusion. The plastic is high quality and quite durable. Mine has withstood direct sunlight for several weeks now with no evidence of warping. My only gripes are the cost and my unplaced skepticism with the hanging hardware. (To be clear these hang quite securely to my amazement and in challenging conditions.) I'm impressed enough to order again.

I ordered two of these not knowing they didn’t have the necessary attachments to hang them. I assumed with the price that these were all in one.After they arrived with nothing to hang, I begrudgingly came back and ordered the pieces separately. Once THOSE arrived, they still were unusable as our railing was still wide. I ordered similar webbing and sewed some additional length onto the hangers. FINALLY, they were able to be attached.So I was out a lot more money than expected, but I do appreciate the final look. Would I buy these again knowing how much in total time and cost they would actually end up? Probably not. I won’t dwell on it now, I’ll just try to enjoy the spring and summer of flowers!

The planter has exceeded all of my expectations. I am so enamored over these planters that I want to change out all of my planters and never use a traditional plant pot again. I have never used planters like this in my life and I have had plants, both indoor and outdoor almost my entire life! I love, love these planters. At first I was super skeptical and have now had my planters outside on the balcony and they are doing amazing. The plants are so, so happy and they are drinking the water and loving their new life. Now my husband is involved. He watches those level indicators and is always reminding me when they get low to water the plants. It is so funny. He just loves watching those indicators and reminding me it is time to water. In the past my husband never paid attention to the plants. I am really enjoying that. I have some beautiful planters which are a blend of sedums and herbs, which is so much fun! The plants are growing like crazy too! I am in Las Vegas so you can imagine how dry the containers can get. These planters are ideal.

I wouldn't say this is the greatest value I've ever gotten for my money, but it's a good product. Very sturdy, well manufactured, good instructions, and most importantly, it works. The plants are growing great.

I recently installed one of these Color 80s on a railing, using the very expensive add-on mounting brackets. (The brackets are heavily engineered—there’s a reason they’re so expensive.) So far so good. I don’t have any complaints about the fit and finish except that the trim pieces that cap the corners (where the water level sensor can be installed) are a bit loose and wobbly (pictured).

no issues to assemble, my spinach and arugula growing like crazy under 600w lights with nearly 0 involvment from me besides weekly trip to fill it up with water. good job

Just as described. Perfect.

Wir waren uns wirklich sehr unschlüssig, ob man so viel für einen Balkonkasten ausgeben sollte, aber wir sind wirklich froh, dass wir uns dazu durchgerungen haben. Die Qualität ist wirklich überzeugend und sie sind wirklich hochwertig und schick. Wir haben es nicht bereut.

tres beau j adore

Da ich bei der letzten Bestellung sehr zufrieden war, habe ich den zweiten Balkonkasten wiederbestellt. Die Lieferung erfolgte wieder schnell und problemlos. Schade nur, dass es den Balkonkasten nicht auch in größer in dieser Farbe gibt. Sieht einfach klasse aus
