Got my plant glass today, and as there have been several discussions about then (probably all started by me) I thought I'd post my thoughts.
Arrived nicely packaged
Size compared to Mini M and 10 liter
Filled
As for the distortion when full of water - the glass thickness seems much more uniform than those I have seen in garden centers. It has an average thickness of maybe 4-5mm, so I think it is thinner to for this size. The base is also a lot thinner in the Do!Aqua than the garden center vases. I've found they can have a very thick base which makes it look odd when substrate/plants are in.
They're not joking about imperfection though! There are several bubbles in the glass, and the odd small scrape near the rim. Not scrapes through bad handling, but it looks like that's how they have been made. Call it rustic!!
Rocks in there to test distortion (which isn't bad at all)
At over £37 posted they are dear (this is the 20cm cube), but I'm happy I've got one
Just gotta work out what to do with the thing!!
