Planter panels do not align during assembly

Wood appears to be weathering unevenly
This is normal for natural timber. Apply a coat of exterior wood treatment, stain, or paint to achieve a uniform look and provide protection.

Ensure the planter is not sitting in standing water. Consider adding a layer of gravel or broken pottery at the base before adding soil, or drill additional drainage holes if placing on a solid surface.
