Side by Side Comparison of: IKEA vs Gifts & Decor

These are awesome! Very good quality, and saves me a trip to ikea!

Both are sturdy, well-made (for the price) and suit what I need. Please keep in mind there are no holes in these pots, so water carefully.

Very sturdy and great quality, I would purchase again.

We needed a pot without a hole in the bottom for a bamboo plant that grows in water. It was difficult to find. We have replanted our plant and it is working well. We did not need two pots though that is how they were sold. That would have been fine but when we planted the plant the first pot we noticed a hairline crack with water seeping out. Since there were two pots we just transferred to the perfect pot. We did not bother to call Amazon.

Wonderful pots. Perfect size for my bathroom and they actually match the color of my bathrooms entry and linen closet door. would recommend and buy again from Ikea.

These pots arrived exactly as described, in perfect condition, and at a great price. I'm using mine to grow oat-grass for my cats and they're the perfect size for it; the nom-level is comfortable for them. Not much else to say, really. Buy 'em, you'll like 'em.

My pots came much sooner than estimated and I was very impressed with the packaging---those pots were super protected and there are even instructions to help unpack the pots to avoid damage. The attention to detail wasn't only on shipping --- the pots are beautiful! I'm very happy with my purchase and experience with this seller. I highly recommend these!

Well packaged items and received without any damage. They're beautiful pots and I wish they offered a larger set as well.

Very nice quality, especially for the price. Vibrant colors and a substantial weight without being too heavy. Packed extremely well with no damage. I would definitely buy again.

Beautiful pots! Gorgeous colors! Excellent seller! There was a mishap with my first set and two of them were broken. I contacted the seller who immediately responded back to me with concern. I was offered a full refund or another set of pots. The pots arrived safe and sound and gorgeous! I would suggest that you do not use these pots outside in the cold. I never leave my pots outside as they are likely to break from freezing. I purchased these for indoor plants...too beautiful for outside. Thank you!

These are large beautiful pots. The first order arrived with some broken pieces even though they were carefully packaged. A new replacement order quickly arrived. I couldn't be mire pleased.

Oh my goodness - these pots are superb in quality, design and function. They are so worth the value of 3 that I'm glad I purchased 2-sets. And, as for the seller packaging - this also was excellent. Not one of the pots was scratched or broken. The packaging was done with so much care and extra cushion that it took me a minute to carefully pry the packaging layers apart. I'm very pleased with this product and the packaging and would definitely buy from this seller again. As a matter of fact, I probably will purchase a few more sets to give to my friends and family.

Love these little pots. Ordered 2 sets, unfortunately one pot broke in transit.

These are nice pots for the price. I am using them for indoor herbs. No complaints, so far.

They worked out great.

I received these pots that were very well wrapped. But not enough packing in between pots, as the inner pot was broken. Nice looking pots though. Pretty color, and seem to be well made.

They are exactly as pictured, but there isn't a hole in the bottom of these pots.

Arrived in perfect condition. They put a lot of work into making sure the pots ship safely. They're very simple, which focuses attention on the plant.

Love them, these are beautiful. I would rate them 5 stars instead of 4 if the creators made saucers for them. I had to go make purchases not that it was a huge deal but these would be a 5 star purchase if only they had an attached saucer or came with them. They were packaged very well and are beautiful to look at even so.

Beautiful, good quality, and I like the assortment of sizes. I was on the search for something colorful to spruce up my balcony, instead of the regular terra cotta flower pot. These are perfect, they look lovely. The only complaint I have is that they have holes in the bottom, so water/dirt will leak through. This has not been a huge problem, since I have them outside. But, just be aware in case you're planning on putting them inside. You will need to also buy some sort of tray to put them on.

I bought two sets of these pots as a gift for my niece, along with a selection of herbs. She was just moving into a new apartment and said she loved them. The only objection I had was that I couldn't tell from the description the size of each of the three pots, so I didn't realize how big the biggest one was. My niece was okay with it but I would have liked to have the option of buying all of one size in a variety of colors. She also said the pots were very well packaged.

These pots arrived without damage and are very nice. Not perfect but I'm satisfied and would buy them again.Note: If your having trouble removing the rubber from between the pots. Don't try and pull out those rubber strips, slide them all to the same side of the pot and the packing can be removed easily.

colors are so vibrant and beautiful.sizes are really good.I have the large one on the floor and the other two on the counter in my kitchen.the middle size is the best.just note: they have small hole in bottom so they need either plastic tray or rubber stopper. wish they would have come with it because now I have to purchase it.other than that; they are great.

These pots add a bright colorful splash to a patio collection. They are just as saturated with color as other reviews say they are. As a testament to their quality, they are glazed inside as well as outside the pot. I only gave four stars because the seam on one of the pots is a little more pronounced than I would like - the other two pots have seams that are less visible. At any rate, these pots are a real steal that big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe's can't even touch. Packaging and shipping is superb. The seller goes over and above to make sure they arrive to you in perfect condition. I have told others at work about these and highly recommend them.

they are ok

One of these had a crack. The other one is holding up well.

One of my pots was broken when it arrived.

nice pot but has no drainage holes for real plants

Darker beige than I expected from the photos, but they are great quality and I will still use them. Just wish they were lighter in color.

I sent it back to Amazon because the one planter pot was broken beyond glue repair. They seem like okay pots though.

Ok

Beautiful set just wish the ceramic was thicker.

I'm a little disappointed that when my package came today the large blue pot was broken, :( otherwise these pots are lovely.

Nice but much smaller than I thought they were

The pots are not very big at all. I was not impressed and wished that they were bigger.

These pots are really cute in person. However, when mine came the brown arrived broken. The things is that there is a lot of packaging around the outside of the large blue pot, but almost none in between the blue and brown pot. the brown pot was shattered. The good news is that they are replacing the brown pot for me so I can start using the other too. The bummer news is that because of ineffective packaging, I can't use all three right away. That being said, they are really cute, and a good deal.UPDATE: The company sent me a new set of pots and I did not need to return the previous set. Unfortunately, all three of the pots arrived broken this time. So two orders of pots. Only 2 out of 6 pots arrived unbroken. Needless to say, I am NOT happy.

I never understood why they would make a flower pot without drainage holes.

These pots are very cute and just what I wanted. However, one arrived cracked and I haven't heard back on a replacement

Nice little pots. However, one arrived completely broken. It wasn't worth the hassle and expense of returning it. But now I need another pot and definitely won't take a chance on this one again. Very disappointing.

It is a nice pot and was well wrapped when I opened it, but it was cracked...boo.

Smaller than I imagined. one came with a crack although it was packed very well. I am using one wit a pot inside it. I did not return it or try to return it. the pot is a nice shiny beige color.

i like these, but they're sold for 48 cents each or something at ikea....

The brown pot was broken upon arrival. It cost more to ship it back than the set itself.

These are really pretty if they weren't broken!! I could return them but Im just going to glue the pieces together... The box does not say FRAGILE anywhere so I'm sure it was knocked around a bit.

There was no drainage hole in bottom. Worthless as a pot for plants.

This is my second time ordering these pots, I love the size and color... However, this is also the second time they have arrived with 1/2 broken. I just completed a return form and will not be ordering these in the future. Take some care when packing these pots!!!

Received product damages!

one came in broken....

BOTH pots broken. Don't bother, just a nuisance to return. $.49 each at Ikea store. Ripoff!!

Arrived very broken

Mine were not embossed and patterned like the picture! I'm returning. False representation!!!

Broken!!!

Beautiful, but arrived broken.

I hesitated to buy these because of so many reviews that they arrive shattered. Mine did too, so I had to package up the shattered remains and send them back for a replacement. I just got the new shipment (in the mean time, I bought another brand of planters that didn't arrive shattered). I just got my "fix" shipment, and the breakage was even worse - totally shattered. Although I thought these pots were pretty, this vendor is irresponsible in its packaging, and this is an incredible waste of resources. If you have the patience, I guess you can keep sending back the shards until you get a full set, I opted to save time and just get refund after the second shattered shipment.

Although these pots were gorgeous online, something evidently went wrong with the packaging. My initial order arrived with the pots broken inside, even though the box they were shipped in appeared intact. As always, Amazon is very helpful with replacing damaged items, and they arranged for me to receive a replacement order. The second shipment of the flower pots arrived in even worse shape than the first, with the pots in so many pieces that when I tried to initially lift them out of the box, I actually cut myself in the process. The large blue pot appeared to have been smashed from the bottom even though the box they were shipped in was not damaged!To summarize, both shipments of this item arrived severely damaged and completely unusable.The bright side is that Amazon assisted me with obtaining a refund.

While others who purchased these pots referred to the fact that they arrived safely the first box I order contained a cracked large pot and when Amazon sent a replacement (very promptly by the way - i.e. the next day) the second box contained cracked large and medium pots. So while the items and price were very attractive I regret that after 2 deliveries with cracked pots I will have to forgo having these. I would suggest that the boxes if not be marked "fragile" have another layer of insulation between the box with the pots and the box in which Amazon shipped the original box. There was nothing but a couple of pieces of paper in the Amazon shipping box which in no way provided the type of insulation and cushioning required to guarantee that the items inside the product box would not get damaged.
