elho Barcelona Trough 40 - Plastic Planter for Balcony & Outdoor - 40cm x H 16.0 cm, 8 liter volume, Pistachio Green

Good quality 😍

Bought two for my window — those are beautiful, solid, and look great from the outside.

Good size and arrived on time looks very cheap - and it was! Looks good with my purple flowers hanging over.

Got a couple of ELHO pots and again this trough is well made. Nice and solidVery recommended

I have quite a lot of Elho products in the garden, they're bright, bold and add a splash of colour during the months when flowers struggle to grow. Despite the low price tag the quality is very good and the plastic is thick enough not to distort when full of soil and planted and although they will fade if left outside year round the colour softens evenly and if you didn't know what colour they started off as you'd never know the difference....I have left several of their products outside for 3 years now and am still very happy with the condition.Now on to this specific planter...it's a lovely classic bright cherry red and measures 50 cm long, 19.5 cm high and 15.6 cm deep although the internal dimensions are smaller. It takes 10 litres of soil, which is quite a useful volume for the size of the trough. You can buy the matching saucer along with brackets if you want to use it as a hanging planter but I'm just using it as a trough on the ground. You need to drill drainage holes in the base, as it's not pre-drilled.These products are very hard to source in the UK so I'm very pleased I can continue to buy them from Amazon who ship from Europe (presumably because Elho is a Dutch company) and still manage to offer them for sale at a great price!

Does the job, can be used as liner in window box. Good to use where you don't see planter.You can plant couple of plants and then use planter to fill gap in border, being green in colour you don't notice it.

Very pleased with the colour shape and depth of these 50cm oblong planters. I bought the compact 10l compost for each planter and it is the exact amount needed to fill it to the top. I am using these for spring flowering bulbs. As mentioned the drainage is in a raised position rather than on the base. I am open minded regarding this as it may well be better having less water run off onto the stone surface they are on. On the other hand we do get heavy rain at times and might the lower inch or more become waterlogged...not sure. But presently I am very happy. The planters are well made and the shape easy on the eye. The other plus is the very reasonable pricing. As these are a European product I know that supplies run out quickly hence ordering 2 straightaway. I am considering getting matching oblong saucers but they are not as easy to find in stock.

Quite disappointed in the colour of this pot, it is BRIGHT PINK.I know colours can appear differently on screens and monitors, however with a name like "Cherry" I expected a cherry red type of colour, as was pictured. Especially with a sweet raspberry pink colour listed in the same range which is pink in the picture. I would have thought I received the wrong one but the sticker says cherry, maybe the wrong stickers were put on the wrong pots. I don't know.It's a sturdy enough pot so I am sure I will use it at some point. Good quick delivery in a strong box to protect it.
