This planter was easy to assemble. No screws needed. :)The most difficult part was putting the dirt and plants themselves into it. It made quite a mess and lots of dirt got stuck in between the crevices of the planter. At first I tried using my fingers to sweep it out, but finally found that if I used the hose of my kitchen faucet on a low setting it worked fabulous not cleaning those crevices.The other thing that was really worrying me about using this planter on my piano is that it had no drainage saucer. But there is a hidden space between the official bottom of the planter and its sides. So if you find a rectangle saucer that fits you can place that underneath it to protect any drips that come from watering. It would be a five star if a saucer was included.A great succulent planterThis is by far my favorite planter for my succulents. I initially kept them on my windowsill but as my collection grew there became less space (duh). This planter does a great job of showing off my plants so you don’t have to be standing over a pot to see it. Bring these back!!!Some of the compartments weren’t really practical but with a little creativity you can do a lot with this!
