The HC Companies Flower Pot Saucers - Plastic Plant Saucer for Outdoors & Indoors - Traditional Design Plant Pot Trays for Water Drainage - Durable & Stylish Round Plant Tray (12-inch Slate Blue)

I received this planter saucer on the expected delivery date with no damages.It is very light and thin as described. Is its light weight a plus? I honest don't know. Since it is not something I will move or carry around on a frequent basis. weight of saucer is my least concern. I am using it outdoors. We have hot sunny summers, snow and freezing winters. Durability and holding its shape under weight of the planter with the potting soil and plant and ability to retain its color are the important attributes that I am looking for especially its price is not that cheap.When ordering, please pay special attention to the pictorial diagram showing just the dimensions of the saucer to get a good fit. Use the chart (pale blue color letters) showing the dimensions of the planters if you already have the planter sold by HC or are buying the planter & saucer as a pair now. If you use the dimension published in the dimension to order, chances are it won't fit since most planters have a sloping sidewall. It is likely the bottom diameter of the saucer is too small.Description says it is made out of plastic only. I wish it can be a bit more specific. Plastic is a term that covers a wide range of material. The item is stamped Made in USA. The manufacturing process of this item is rather simple and non labor intensive. Making them in China may not have much of an advantage in terms of cost. The quality of material and conformity to the material specification are important factors. Consumer perception is items made in a certain country overseas are sub-quality and often not what material is said to be. Hence, the preference of buying products that are made in USA. In my opinion, the use of the correct type of material is essential in meeting the service specification. More specifics on the material would be desireable.

I've had several of these in various sizes for years, using them for pet food bowls, bird baths, poultry feeders, potted plant saucers, handling seeds, etc. All are still in excellent condition. I especially like that they are smooth, free from problematic ridges and such in the molding, which makes them more versatile and very easy to clean. Definitely worth the cost!

I have a huge spotted begonia that blooms pink flowers in my living room window. It’s over 6’ tall now so I have it in a big pot. The plastic water trays are always flimsy. I got this one and it’s the last one I’ll have to buy for this pot. I’m ordering more because it’s so durable. At just under $10 it’s expensive but it’s worth it.

I was delighted to find this offered in different colors. I choose black to put under my plant which sits on a black bench and it was just right! I didn't want a boring clear one. Very nice quality for the price and I will definitely consider buying more in other colors!

Nice holds lots of water for animals to get a drink

Perfect size to catch the run off from my Japanese Aralia. I just watered it thoroughly and didn't have to worry about any spillage. I have room for my turkey baster to suck out all of the excess water.

These were the perfect color and size to go under my planter.

Using it as a birdbath solar fountain and they are having a good time in it

I bought this saucer with the intention of using it as a bird bath. It's a nice earth colour, has good uniform depth (3") and wide enough to use as a bird bath. So far it has worked well. They only drawback is the price. The unit is plastic but I expected it to be much more rugged for that cost. Even if you use it as a potted plant saucer, I think the cost is a bit much.

I broke the terra cotta saucer I had my large plant sitting in and found this so I ordered it. It works perfectly and catches extra water drainage after watering.

Nice size, very sturdy, will be using as bird bath.

Inside 10". Exterieur 12". Perfect for my pet fountain. It's deep, protect my floor.

Perfect size, good quality, looks great
