The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
The Step2 Tremont tall square tapered planter is a popular molded-resin column with a 4.6 average across about 320 reviews and color baked into the material for low-upkeep durability. A medium-trust r/Costco commenter who has owned one 'for several years' says it 'holds up well' and that herbs grow well in it, and retailer listings tout a sub-irrigation reservoir with optional drill points for drainage. The 28-inch height and tapered profile draw repeated praise for framing entryways and patios.

The disagreement worth flagging is over the self-watering claim itself. A medium-trust r/houseplants commenter who owns several says they 'would NOT call them self watering, especially since they don't have a wick that dips into the water reservoir,' and the same Costco owner says they hand-water theirs. A high-trust r/gardening thread adds the universal tall-planter caveat that these get very heavy when full and may need a wheeled coaster. Treated honestly, this is a good-looking, durable resin planter best judged on its form and build rather than on a self-watering feature reviewers find underwhelming.

We've had one for several years. It holds up well and herbs seem to grow really well in it. I hand water it though. The self watering function ...
I have several of these! I certainly would NOT call them self watering, especially since they don't have a wick that dips into the water reservoir.
