Additional reviews came in for the VegTrug Medium Classic Planter, with one buyer commenting: “Pricey but ideal design for a backyard. Good visually. Yet to be planted. Assembly was straight forward and items well packaged.”
A further review noted: “Excellent, great quality planter with clear build instructions. Gave four stars rather than five stars that I gave my large one simply because some of the screw holes didn’t line up so missed their attachment. Redid them so not a problem.”
