Well, it gets 2 stars only because it is a really attractive planter box and if you're lucky enough to get one that doesn't have cracked paint or is literally falling apart, oh and you pay half of what Amazon is charging then it is almost worth it.
I ordered two planters from another seller for 54.95 each because it wasn't worth my while making something similar (lumber is pretty expensive these days) and I was thrilled when I got them. They were easy to assemble and looked really lovely. I had found plastic planter boxes that would fit inside them (they do not come with liners so you need to purchase a pot to fit inside it) and decided to wait until the next day before planting them up. Well, it rained overnight and the next day the paint was all cracked and there were yellow streaks in the white paint. Needless to say I sent them back the next day and waited for two replacements, hoping that it was just a bad batch.
The replacements came and I assembled one just fine but when I was taking the other one out of the box the trellis literally broke in two pieces. They don't use one long piece of wood for the side trellis frame but join up two shorter pieces (cheap) and it obviously wasn't glued together properly.
The broken one has gone back to the vendor for a refund but I decided to keep the other one but keep it on the covered front porch instead of exposed to the elements and so far it seems ok. It does look really nice with the jasmine twisting through the trellis, it's just a shame that these planters are so poorly constructed and finished with poor quality paint that cracks.
