As has already been mentioned...
...this is perfectly sized for a compact herb garden. I have plenty of yard space for a conventional garden but wanted to keep culinary herbs where they wouldn't be getting constantly spritzed with eau du tomcat. You might consider putting it on a pot dolly as it won't be very mobile once it's full of damp soil. I've been rotating it 90 degrees each morning to give all the plants equal exposure to the sun.
Edit 9/15/10: Instructions that are provided with the planter suggest stabilizing the stack with a dowel through the holes provided in the center of each module. After what happened to my herb garden last night, I suggest that if you experience overnight visits from raccoons that you substitute a length of 3/8 inch rebar for the dowel. Damp wood didn't provide much resistance to the lateral stresses of adult male 'coons looking for worms. I'll also be surrounding it and what's left of the succulent garden with a hot wire this weekend before replanting everything. Jeez what a mess.
