Beautiful but delicate
As indoor greenhouse style terrariums go, the form factor of this is spot on. It's dimensions are great and should fit smartly on any normal window sill. It is beautiful, but there is a tinge of form over function concern. It feels very delicate and makes one think about how long it's going to last. One I ordered didn't survive the shipment process. It's replacement was fine thankfully. The metal base (really all the metal in this) is more like a thin pliable metallic sheet that holds its form with enough rigidity only so long as the glass structure itself is intact. And that is where one wonders how well the welding on paper thin glass is going to stand up. I have smaller cheaper indoor greenhouses that feel as solid as a rock. But as this has particularly large sheets of glass with unadulterated panoramic view of the content, the minimal structure holding the glass together is doing all the heavy lifting to maintain this otherwise beautiful structure. Pity a bit better materials were not used as this is not cheap. So long as you're very careful (keep away from small children for sure), it should, just, work for what is intended to do. So a recommendation with warnings id say.
