What material is the planter made out of? How heavy and sturdy is it?

It is a hard plastic with a removable drain plug. If you can receive one that is not cracked in transit to you I would consider it sturdy. I've had no luck when the item comes via USPS. Recently I received a damaged one and it's replacement was also damaged.

It is not heavy. It's made of some kind of plastic metal. I returned the product bc one of them broke in shipping but they did look nice.

It is a very sturdy plant stand. It can easily hold 50 pounds, though as another person posted, it could get a bit wobbly with too much weight on it. We currently have moderately sized pot on it that weighs around 30 pounds.

I would think so. We have a large planter on it, and it's been very sturdy. We love it, I think you will too.

It's rubber tree or rubber wood and its a very sturdy beautiful piece. I was skeptical given price but I'm quite happy with it. Bought mine a few weeks ago. Up and using it while I figure out how I want to finish it.

It is made of metal. Not real sturdy but does fine with the small bird feeders it comes with. I put mine in the ground quite a bit to make sure it would not fall over. No counter balance, just a straight pole.

they are really nice looking, and my plants have done well in them. The only problem is if you plan on placing them where the rain can get to them, they don't drain and your plants will suffer if you get a big rain. I'm using one on my porch and it is doing great, and people comment on it all of the time. The other one was in the yard and the plants died due to inability to swim for long periods of time. I think the planter is resin. Hope this helps...bk

I believe it is wood or some wood composite. Thus far it has held up very well and is very elegant looking I just have a tall vase and some knick knacks on it, so I don't know if you are planning to put something heavy on it- I hope this is helpful.

There are no rocks; the reviewer has to be talking about a different product, as nothing he says seems to match this birdbath. I wouldn't use it as a planter -- that would make it too top-heavy with little structural support to keep it upright. It does come with little L-shaped stake things to anchor it to the ground, but I've never actually needed them. If you wanted to make it a planter, you'd definitely want to use them.For the record, I've seen squirrels make it into this thing (and almost knock it over jumping!).

I have 6 of them in my garden. The weight of the soil keeps them in place. The plastic covers fasten with velcro to the corners of the planter.

It is made of something that looks like wood. I am please with the appearance. It is only 32" high. I have a picture above it to give it height. It is very heavy. I would purchase again.

It is hardwood - that is all I can add. It is sturdy for sure - I work this tool hard. It is the best tool for gardening that I own. It is well constructed.... period.

I have the dark brown planter and just purchased in Spring of 2014. It stood on my deck all summer in extreme heat and sun. I am planning on leaving it out all winter. The dirt has already frozen once so far and had some icing. It still looks as good as when I first set it out but only having it 9 months, I can't know how well it will hold up several years from now. I am extremely happy with it and plan on purchasing another. A very good buy for me. Good luck.

It's made of a light but sturdy plastic. I had several and they all held up fine after being outside all winter after planting season. We're getting ready to start all over again. They are very easy to use, good luck with you garden!

The pot is made of light plastic and would not hold up to even light wind. I put heavy weights in mine to keep the artifical plant from toppling over by my window. Before I put the weights in, the entire plant would fall over when some wind blew threw my window. For outdoors you need something heavy and substantial, this is not for outdoors.

The shade is made of plastic; the support rod is metal. I believe the base is a very durable plastic.

The planter is 16 in. tall. It has only been 2 month so it's holding up okay. I'll know better after it goes through a Minnesota winter. I did discover another problem, however. The plastic containers are too shallow to allow adequate root growth. I'm seeing signs of stress from root compaction. I'm going to have lower the shelf and buy deeper containers. What a pain. Looks great, though.

very sturdy.....mine has been in my patio holding plants with heavy pots. No sign of sagging.
