Updating my review as of September 2017:The owner of this company is very responsive to the design flaws I noted, and sent me two of the new design to work with, which I consider excellent customer support! The depth of the cells has been increased so that not as much water is needed to reach the bottom of them. They also appear wider, (I have not checked them against the originals, not sure I kept them), which will allow for a larger plug, meaning the need to transplant sooner is relieved.Again, I applaud a company that is this responsive to their customers, well done Bootstrap Farmer!********************************************************************************************************************************************************These trays are very sturdy, but they have several design flaws that need correction. The first is that the cells are not quite deep enough so when watering from the bottom it takes quite a lot of water to reach the bottom of the cells. That's just wasteful.The second is that the cells are pretty small, and combined with a lack of depth means that seedlings need to be transplanted sooner, which is harder on them. A slightly larger, deeper cell and fewer of them would be much better.Third, the cells are all one piece, which seems nice at first, but makes it more of a pain to bottom water. I wound up cutting two cells out to do so. A better way, in my opinion, would be to make them in sections so you could lift one out to bottom water (which is preferred to avoid splashing soil around which can happen with watering from the top.)Finally, for whatever reason, the top domes don't quite fit on the bottom, so I'm always fiddling with them to get them straight.At any rate, ok to use, but could be better.Editing my review again. The company graciously sent replacements for the bottom trays which are better than the ones I originally got.
