Note: I’m a gardener who gets his hands dirty, not some paid reviewer who pimps stuff
Initial impressions were (probably) wrong
1) Seems pricey, but may not be in hindsight. Everything is plastic any more, it's hard to find any other material. Finding a comparable item, with same/similar features, has been difficult if not impossible, so price may not be bad after all.
2) Seemed flimsy (I almost returned when I first opened box because of this), but it is not when properly put together. I was pleasantly surprised with how sturdy it is once assembled correctly.
Dislikes
1) At the time of this writing all units being sold on Amazon are either damaged or opened returns. I would really like to be able to purchase new, not kinda-sorta-but-not-really new.
2) One piece missing [T junction], likely due to prior issue (not essential, but still wanted, solved with creative redneck engineering)
3) Planter is not hydroponic in any way, shape or form (hyrdoponic = no soil). For my own purposes I don’t really care, but it is misleading for packaging to suggest otherwise.
Likes
1) I can add water directly to reservoir or just water it in from above and let water percolate down
2) Reservoir can be closed to keep mosquitoes out
3) Reservoir water level gauge is great, I can check the water level from my kitchen window
4) Depending on how you prune, planter could hold multiple plants
5) Not at all top heavy
6) Not that hard to put together (some reviewers must have never played with legos as children)
7) I’ve had it for several months now, it is working out quite well (see photo)
Summary: Definitely better than I thought it would be when I first unpackaged it; still seems a bit pricey, but to be truthful I can’t find anything else of comparable value, with these features, relative to cost, so perhaps not; I am planning to purchase several more in near future (once used/damaged boxes run out).

Came with a broken piece 😭
Shipping was great, but when I opened up the box and put it together, one of the plastic corner pieces were broken 😞

This planter looks good, and it should definitely get the job done for some tomatoes. I like how light it is, however, the plastic is thin and flimsy. As you can see in the picture, one part of it was shattered. Not a deal breaker, but definitely annoying. All in all though, I might consider buying a second one for more plants and to keep things uniform

I absolutely LOVE this product. I only purchase two because I typically do not do well with growing things so I thought I would give it a try. Not only was it absolutely easy to set up but it’s a perfect size for my deck. I would love to re-order two or three more for next year to grow a few more things. I have had family and friends over who absolutely love them and want to order them too (unfortunately they are currently out of stock). I currently have 3 different types of tomato plants and 1 banana pepper plant growing and I have had amazing results so far. The only suggestion I would make is to possibly include or be able to purchase an additional set of polls to be able to make the frame higher as my plants are doing amazingly well and actually growing taller than the frame.
