The Better Homes and Gardens Rustic Whiskey Barrel Planter is lightweight and UV-resistant, will not crack or color-fade over time. With its classic wood and decorative look, this pot will fit into any indoor and outdoor setting. The planter pot has been carefully designed to replicate the feeling of an aged wine cask. This gives the pot a warm and genuine feeling of wood but made with recycled plastic to give it a long-lasting life.  Jeff
