Watex Mobile Green Wall (Double Frame, Spring Bouquet), BPA Free Planters

I bought this for our deck so my sons and I could plant our herbs and veggies in a more organized manner this year. My 11 year old did a vertical farming project at school and wanted to set something up at home. We are very happy with the results. It was fairly easy to assemble and we got everything planted. We installed the irrigation system but have not hooked it up to the hose yet. We bought the double sided unit and it has plenty of room for everything we wanted to plant. It seems sturdy and I like that we can move it around as well. Glad we decided on this unit.

Like the ideas purchased 4 for me, 1 to other family. Disappointed, frustrated, and not happy when set up the first unit. They need improvements.Need more slacks on micro dripping tube.Small or medium size pots need better design to hold plants straight up and hold more dirts.Dirts keep washing out since pots lean forward and dirts level needs to be lower than cutout in the front of those pots. Can’t fit very much dirts and plants.Need pressure reducer, seller mailed one, but didn’t put enough postage—buyer beware of the cost that you have to pay for what they sent.I have been successful working with dripping systems without using pressure reducer on other brand, but not from Watex.Falling apart if lift the entire carts unit.If I get all large pots, that would be better choice than those small pots.After set up the first unit, not sure what I’m going to do with other units that I purchased. Wasted.

Good designI like how the wheels have a locking lever so that it does not roll.The assembly was easy, except for the little plastic chucks ..tip: slide them up and down until you hear a click before adding the parts that go on top.the drip line aligns perfectly with the containers.

I LOVE these new Green Wall, Double Frame Planters. I bought 3 of them so the boys and I can grow some of our own food. It took me the longest to do the first one as oldest, homeschooled grandson decided he didn't want to do school work today and it's been a fight. Took me a good 45 mins. Next two took me less than 25 mins with "help" lol. I used both the instructions (blow-apart pictures) and the YouTube video to get the first one together. On the second one I just glanced at the instructions to make sure I was doing it right. Third one, didn't need instructions.Didn't take much strength to do it, just follow instructions and diagramsThis is very sturdy. I found that when I clicked the pieces in place, there was a gap between the two part - it's ok. When you put the next piece on, it will squeeze those pieces together and hold tightly. A couple of times I did need to go back and slide the bracket pieces back up as I hadn't seated them well enough, but it just took a second to do that.I was able to pick it up to put it outside. I also took a reviewer's suggestion and put the wheels on a diagonal so that one locking wheel in front and then the other on the opposite corner to it ( / ). That way, no matter which way the frame is placed there will be a "back wheel" and a "front wheel that can be locked down.I liked the baskets. I know some have commented that dirt and water run out over the cutout part. Perhaps these that I have are a newer design, but they don't look like they're lose dirt or water over the edge and they seem ti sit pretty straight on the railing. Perhaps that will be different when I actually fill the baskets.

The size is perfect for our needs, and I like the basic design (drip down, wheels so I can turn, etc.). Based on the price, it was a good purchase. That said, the instructions were nearly impossible to follow. The drip system is a bit wonky, so you have to finesse it a little and turn on the water carefully. The base is not as sturdy as it probably should be given how much weight goes in each section, so turn carefully. Still, all in all, I am satisfied that I got what I paid for.

----Update-----I am seriously impressed with the customer service at Watex. I messaged them about the broken caster and they got back to me really fast, even though it was a holiday weekend. They were very helpful and got me taken care of right away. The replacement arrived yesterday so now my little planter is fully functional and ready to go.If you're on the fence with this one at all, give it a try. It's a good little planter and the vendor is easy to work with.--------------Good things first. I do really like this unit. It's sturdy and made of better quality materials than I was expecting. I don't doubt that it will do an admirable job holding plants when planting time starts.That said, there are a few things that could use improvement.1, I got a busted caster. Not too worried about it because even if the company won't replace it, I'll be contacting them, it should be pretty easy to diy a fix.2, you cannot change the basket configuration and expect to use the watering hoses. The emitters are fixed and can only be configured in the order that they're in.3, the terminal end emitter free floats and doesn't drip. It doesn't have anything to lock it into place like the others do and whatever goes into that basket is going to get half the water of its counterpart4, the adapter leaks at the hose but can probably be fixed with some teflon tape or a gasket.I'll update when I hear back from their customer service.

Good in design, mediocre in quality. The word. "mobile" may not belong in the description as it's not necessarily of sound enough after construction to be moved often or far. It would probably be fine for smooth floors or concrete porches, but you'll likely be doing some reconstruction if you're going in and out of a house over a threshold.
