Crate & Barrel Leanne Ford Wabi Fiberstone Planter

Fiberstone is a composite material made of fiberglass and crushed stone. It is chosen for this design because it offers the heavy, organic look of natural stone while remaining significantly lighter and more durable, making it easier to move and resistant to cracking.

Yes, the fiberstone material is weather-resistant and designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, if you live in a climate with harsh freezing winters, we recommend bringing it inside or covering it to prevent potential damage from freeze-thaw cycles.

This planter does not come with a pre-drilled drainage hole. If you plan to plant directly into it, you may want to drill a hole in the bottom or use a layer of gravel at the base to assist with drainage, though using a nursery pot inside is the easiest way to manage water.

The textured sand finish is best maintained by gently wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing brushes, as these can damage the matte surface and alter the intended aesthetic.

While fiberstone is lighter than solid stone, it still has enough weight to remain stable in most standard patio settings. If you are placing it in a particularly windy area, adding a layer of heavy stones or gravel at the bottom before potting will provide extra ballast.
