Best Choice Products Rustic Wooden Wishing Well Planter Outdoor Home Décor for Patio, Garden, Yard w/Hanging Bucket

I just got this in the mail today and absolutely love it, it was easy to put together once I figured out the bottom pieces (the first set was hardest, took about five minutes, the last piece took maybe a minute). It is sitting in the middle of my room and is so cute! I got it for my mom for her birthday and I will definitely be getting a second one for the backyard, I think it would look so great next to the pond at the top of the waterfall or next to the stream I plan on building this year (fingers crossed that works out)! A couple pieces came a little chipped but only the pot was actually noticeable, I fixed it easy with a little wood glue. I took the advice of another reviewer and reinforced some pieces with wood glue (the bottom pieces, I almost was going to take each apart and glue them but settled for just in between the four sets, and the side posts I glued as well just to be safe) and I did not put the crank dead center on the post but off it a little so it looks like its been turned, I also added some more twine to lead from the bucket to the crank so they look attached. I will be staining this to protect it from the weather before it goes out permanently. The one I get for the backyard I am unsure if I will use it as a planter or not, I would be a little afraid the dirt would rot the wood so maybe line it with garden liner or something just to be safe. Now I need to find a clear coated stainer to protect the wood, something that should probably be done BEFORE you put it together.... well, live and learn I'll be sure to do that first with the next one ;) Now to hide it from my mom until her birthday.... Edit: I decided to hide it in plain view, telling my mom I got it for the backyard, she believed me and its sitting in the living room until I get it stained, I actually put some of my LED lights on it because its sad without a tree out there now, it looks adorable with lights! I am definitely going to get a set of solar lights to decorate it when its outside! I am thinking white but the colored looks beautiful too, but white is more universal instead of seasonal. Oh, and I just bought a second one, the one that's *really* going into the backyard hahaha can't wait :) Edit 2; So I've the wells for over a year now, and they are still lovely, my only issue is the sun did bleach them out a bit, but, that is on my crappy finisher, not the quality of the wells. My mom loves hers, its in the front yard and looks perfect there. Mine (yes, I bought a second one! I had to have it for the backyard!) is in the backyard and looks so perfect in the spot I put it, I have flowers planted around it and unlike last year (because I didn't want the bottom sitting on mud) I set the well on a couple paver slabs. We brought the wells into the garage for the winter because we didn't want to risk them getting damaged by our MN winters, and boy are we glad we did, as we had a ton of snow that could have probably crushed the roof of them. I'm including a couple pics this time, the one with the flowers is mine, the one in the corner is my mom's, mine is a little crowded and not as nice looking at the moment because things are either done blooming or haven't started yet, and some things need to be staked, plus its in bad need of a good weeding! My mom hasn't had much chance for gardening in the spot she chose to put hers this year, so it looks a little bland in the corner with no color around it. We love these wells, and if you take care of them properly, you will too :) I do suggest getting quality wood sealer/stainer, not the crappy kind I thought was good, we restained them in the spring just to be safe, and will probably continue to restain every spring until the bad stainer is gone, it keeps the wood protected from rain at least, but I would not trust it longer then one season. Edited again for the third(?) year I've had my well, I miss the original color from the first year but I truly love this well, and I created a new garden bed around it this year and it looks so much better :) I removed the Catmint and Black Eyed Susan that were just too huge and planted smaller flowers in a mix of annual and perennial, so much better! I added the picture of the new bed. My mom also still has hers and loves it but I do not have a pic of her new bed so I will only share mine. So yes, three years later I still love this well, and no, I do not notice any wear and tear or damage, I take it into the garage in the winter and stain it in the spring before putting it out again and it has held up beautifully. Take good care of it and it will last. If I'm able to, and remember, I will share another pic next year. My 5 star rating is much deserved for this one.

I am very happy with this purchase!! I researched a lot of different wishing wells and I’m so pleased with the decision to buy this one! Everything was packed very well inside the box. The directions were clear and before I started assembling it I made sure to identify each of the different parts. It took me a little over a half an hour. I used a drill to screw everything together. I made sure to line up all the parts as I was securing all the pieces. I agree with others the first level takes sometime to figure out how they fit together but once you do it the other three go together easy. I think the wishing well is well made, the size is perfect for what I was looking for and once assembled it’s pretty sturdy! I did put some gravel in the bottom of it and added a solar fountain with a pot inside of the bottom. I was also surprised with how level it sits on the ground! It does come stained and I did add a weather proof protection to it after I placed it. It does have a strong smell to it but that’s the type of wood and stain. I was going to wear gloves but decided not too and my hands were fine washed off right after I assembled it. I highly recommend this for the beauty of it, quality, size it’s a perfect addition for my front yard!

Easy to put together, is smaller than it looks but is still cute and nothing broke durring installation. I sprayed it with a seal coat and look forward to decorating it with flowers soon.

I love it! So cute, it instantly brought some more character to my front yard. Highly recommend this product :)

Easy to assemble

Its nice, not very big, but comes with poor instructions. Some pieces broke upon assembling . If you start assemble it, put gloves on. The wood is not polished very well ,I hurt my fingers a few times. It looks good , it is fairly stirdy , but takes time and efforts to put it together

Very tricky to assemble so take your time when putting your base together. The finish tends to rub off when handling so don’t try to put it together in the house. Other than that it went together fairly easy and looks great in my sister’s yard. I paired it with artificial flowers also purchased through Amazon. I couldn’t be happier with the results and my sister loved her birthday present!

Best choice? No my friends. There are better choices. For the same prices, you can go to any brick and order retailer and get one of these things that are already put together instead of have this massive wood just piled in your living room trying to figure out how to put it together with some shotty instruction manual With crappy pictures and diagrams, and very little instruction as far as wording Pay the extra 10 bucks at brick and mortar and get one already put together because this is a headache and I wish I didn’t even purchase this. I’m honestly using this firewood because I don’t have the patience for this nonsense.. waste of money. Junk. If I would’ve known it was gonna come like this I would’ve never wasted my money..At all!!
