Can you turn these up-side-down and paint them, obviously not using them as planters?

I suppose you could but you would have to find a way to hide the speaker cable or attach it to the planter somehow because it comes out of the base at the bottom.

Painting is optional. If you are happy with the original look, then it should not be a big issue. I didn't paint mine either. Good Luck!

You could definately paint them before they are mounted in the floor. But I have noticed mine have some scratches on them already from being on the floor. The paint might scratch off from wear since they door stick up above the floor surface some. I love the design and function of them.

Not really. You could tilt them and even rotate them easily but you would need tools to adjust the height.

You could do it easily, but you would need to drill some holes. I painted mine and am using it outside as a potting bench. It's very sturdy.

I don't think so. The surface is not wood-it's a laminate (plastic???) that does not seem conducive to taking a stain. You might be able to paint them with the right kind of paint.

No. They can be halfed and will cover the "main" part, but not the entire top surface. It wouldn't look the greatest.

Yes, you can paint it. It would be very easy to paint it before you installed it.

Never tried, but I don't suspect they'd show up very well. You'd need to paint on a white background for that.

I don't really see why not except for they are not as heavy gauge metal as oval galvy tubs I have used as planters before. If not filled with dirt to top I would think they would hold up just fine. Would probably make a good cold frame.

They would be too heavy, I think. They are much heftier than a typical plastic planter for a railing.

no, but you can get reversible ones that you can turn upside down to do that, like the ikea one http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80253814/

Just set them to the side. Be careful of the plants when they are young as they are delicate.

No, I do not know the answer to painting the posts. I did not consider painting my posts. Good luck with your decision to paint or not to paint and let us know what you decided.

Yes you should be able to do that. They are heat resistant so you could straighten them if that's what you want.
