Woodside Wooden Well Planter

It arrived very promptly, and was exactly what I was expecting. It came flat-packed but was easy enough to assemble, it probably took me about 35 mins. I did have to reattach the first adjoining post as I put it on upside down, but that was my fault, rather than the fault of the instructions. It went together very easily and I was impressed by the quality considering the price. I finished it off with a coat of linseed oil as added protection from the elements, but I am thrilled with it. It looks amazing.

This item took some working out to put together. Finding out which screws went where. The roof was the worse. But luckily it finally went together. As per photos. I love it. It does take 2 people to assemble

This was hard to put together as had to do it on my own. Got it done in the end and stained it a darker wood colour. I turned the large bottom barrel into a little pond, which looks lovely. The chain to hold the smaller barrel which I planted with flowers, was not strong enough to hold it, and broke, so had to get a stronger chain.

This arrived within less than 24 hours of ordering , superb service! Made of sturdy wood. A bit fiddly to assemble as the screws are very tiny, instructions could be a bit better but once it’s all put together it’s a fabulous wishing well. I put a bin liner in the bottom part with bucket of water in the middle and then filled it with peat and planted primroses and ivy. Room for 2 little bottles of Prosecco in the top bucket. 🥂 Highly recommend this wishing well and it’s a good price too.

I have wanted a wishing well for the garden for a long time - very pleased with what I got. This is very reasonably priced, and is neither too small, nor too large - quite the right size for a small/medium sized garden. The wood is not very strong, but the finished product is sturdy enough. The instructions could be slightly better, but with a little patience it was not difficult - took me about 30-40 minutes. I am no expert, but would suggest using some sort of coating to protect the wood. I used two layers of a lacquer spray - hope that will do the job. Overall, very pleased with my wishing well - now gotta wish for those lottery numbers!!

Put it straight in the bin , avoid disappointment and frustration. The parcel was left out in the rain for a day soaking the wood inside . I dried it out then tried to assemble it - nightmare . Shoddy , cheap material , not fit for purpose . Tiny screws popping out all over it , the roof panels fell apart at first touch . Wood on roof did not patch , metal bent .Criminal .

No screw pack on receipt - so just a pile of timber. I now await a response and may update this rating subject to being able to build the item. Wood will require liberal dosage of preservative. No pilot holes Amended now to 3 stars - seller responded very quickly to my query on missing screwpack. so top marks there BUT why was it missing - I see I am not the only one. At the end of the day, it is a cheap self assembly wooden wishing well that looks quite sweet when built. As said, no pilot holes, wood is dry and splits so care on assembly needed, the roof slats are stapled on and some staples missed the underlying timber and it has had two coats of a preservative that cost more that the well to buy! Would I buy again? Funnily enough, yes! But will it last as long as the previous one? Time will tell.
