There is no debating that the Flower Tower is very easy to assemble. The Flower Tower conveniently ships in an easy to open plastic bag container which includes simple, illustrated assembly instructions printed on the bag. Assembly is quite simple and takes less than five minutes. Inside the packaging you will find a perforated, rectangular, plastic plant vertical gardening housing container that must be folded to create cylinder that houses the plants. Once folded, the cylinder is firmly held in place by built in tabs which snap into the holes located throughout the housing container. Particular care must be made to ensure that the tab ends are pushed completely through each cylinder hole because the tabs' function is to hold the cylinder together. After creating the housing cylinder, all that is required is attaching five small plastic tubes together. These small tubes easily connect together to form a 74 cm (29") watering tube that conveniently distributes water throughout the entire plant ecosystem. The cylinder is attached to the base by turning and aligning the cylinder's pre-cut slits with little plastic nodules on the base. Afterwards, the watering tube easily fits into a slot located in the center of the base unit. Once that is done, you have fully assembled the Flower Tower.
Once you have assembled your Flower Tower, you can start to enjoy using it. The Flower Tower is marketed as a "go anywhere/grow anywhere" gardening system. It is certainly a light weight, mobile vertical gardening system when it does not have potting soil. However, relocating the Flower Tower after it has been filled with potting soil may not be advisable, as it is unclear how well the light weight plastic structure can handle being moved with a maximum load. In any event, the Flower Tower seems to fit perfectly well in any environment, whether on a patio, balcony, or a foyer. Again, the star of the show is the plants that are housed in the Flower Tower, not the Flower Tower itself.
You will also discover that planting with the Flower Tower is pretty easy, thanks in part to the fact that the housing cylinder contains planting holes with approximate 2" diameters. The manufacturer modestly notes that the planting holes are standard nursery plant size. But the Flower Tower has a couple of well thought out design features that are anything but standard. For instance, the "standard nursery plant size" planting holes feature slitted edges that are designed to give when you inserting or removing plants. This makes the planting process much more pleasant than trying to force a plant through an unforgiving planting hole. Additionally, even the Flower Tower's watering tube is innovative. The watering tube features water distribution holes that are larger at the top of the tube and that become smaller as you reach the bottom of the tube. This design feature ensures that water is effectively spread throughout the plant ecosystem and that none of the water ends of sitting at the bottom of the Flower Tower. Amazingly, it takes only about 10 seconds to water the entire garden using the watering tube.
In conclusion, the Flower Tower is a great product for a gardener who desires to quickly and easily start a vertical garden. The tower is versatile in that it can be placed in any number of places and it is easy to maintain.
