This is the 3rd time I had to replace the tops on my Pamela Crawford side planters. I love them and switching the old with the new is easy. Highly recommend

Although the bracket is well built, it did not fit my 4 x 4 post. I had to shave 1/8"- 1/4" off all sides of my post. Now, my post had been in the ground several years, so perhaps it had expanded. I don't know much about wooden posts. I bought this along with the 14" lined basket to put my dragon fruit cactus in. It is a perfect solution for mounting a pot on a post. In my case I did not have to use the large mounting screws that came with it, as the bracket was such a tight fit.

I used five of these disks and baskets for the first time this year, and they looked nice. When I took them down for the winter the disks for the most part looked pretty good, but the paint on a few of the clips had flaked off and the metal beneath was rusting. I feel pretty sure I'll get another season out of them, but after that I can't say. If the clips break off it might be possible to wire the baskets to the disks.

excellent for making bird food or water dish platforms

I love this idea and have bought a number of these kits but they don't hold up. The coating flakes off of the baskets, the disk that locks the basket in place just disintegrates after a few years. Also, each basket requires a number of fairly large plants to look good, not just the tiny ones that come in flats. So all in all an expensive proposition, but quickly visually rewarding.

I have have had these many years and now as I read others reviews I agree completely. This is quite an expensive investment and my clips and baskets did not maintain well at all. The coating came off within the first year and they are completely rusted out now. Was thinking of replacing the top brackets and purchasing new wire baskets but I will just be back in the same position in a year or so. I think I'll just throw it all out. What a waste of money for me. They were beautiful for one year.

The wire baskets, brackets and ground stakes are all well-made--expect them to last many years

Love these planters but the discs are cheaply made, rust and fall apart after 4 years. PLEASE make them with a better material. This kit was expensive!

We have had these for about 6 years, therefore, this is our third set. They last 2 years. We are going to try putting a coat of polyurethane on this set and see if that helps. They do work well until they rust out.

Item rusts and falls apart, particularly, the clips. Plan to replace every two years at best.

Very sturdy. Basket fits well and is stable.

Rusted after the first year

good but could be better; I still think the center rod could be counter-sunk to allow the disc to be separate from the post mount, allowing the disc to be changed out when it rusts.

Love being able to have these baskets on a post, but the gripping clips and bottom of baskets start to rust after first year and 1 fell apart after the 2nd year
I bought my individual pole side planters 6 years ago. I just purchased a set of the parts for my friend's birthday. They are awesome! She always admired mine. Now she had her own.

THE METAL MATERIAL THAT IS USED TO ATTACH THE 4 CLIPS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. GALVANIZED WOULD BE MUCH BETTER.SHOULD LAST AS LONG AS THE BASKET.

I would give this product 5 water buckets if it wasn't for the disk. With the price if these planters you shouldn't have to replace the disk after one season.

i bought 6 sets of posts discs, baskets and liners three seasons ago. Everything has held up beautifully except the discs. This season the clips came off and the disc materials have separated. I am delighted you can reorder the discs.
