IKEA 2009 Catalog: MANDEL Series of Plant Pots

8-8-ikea-pots-1.jpg

We first spied these attractive MANDEL planters when we took our tour of IKEA Brooklyn. The greyish brown neutral is a great alternative to terracotta and you can't argue with IKEA prices...

 
 

There are six sizes of MANDEL planter pots. The smallest pot (3.5" diameter) is $2 and the largest size (10.75" diameter) is $15. Saucers are available as an option for the smaller sizes.

They look beautiful. I especially like the think rim on the saucer. Thank you for the tip!

my friend bought two of the small ones on our ikea trip last night...while they did not have the furniture we came to get, they did have all the silly accessories we didn't want to be tempted by.... who runs out of expedits!? it was rather irksome. but cute pots, yes.

souk 1501 - I agree the rim on the saucer is what makes these pots so great looking. That and the lack of the rim at the top of the pot.

it actually took me three tries to get my expedit, lol. but those flower pots are such an amazing alternative to the terracotta pots, and it won't even have to paint them!

these are quite nice... i've been raving about them since we picked up quite a few of them (3 of each size). they're made in germany (have a cool stamp on the side of the larger one) and have that "i'll be thrilled with them in 20 years and amazed that got them at ikea" look about them...

No hole in the bottom of the pot! You'd have to drill one yourself if you need it. (What's the point of selling saucers if there is nothing to catch to begin with?)

spiffy:
Were you successful drilling a hole? I liked them, too, but the holes are critical if you want the plant to survive.
