perfect for my space! i needed something simple yet elegant and not a lot of "fuss."planted a white trellis rose and it is growing happily in the planter.color is "bronze'ish" and just the color i wanted.(it arrived quickly and in good condition. i planted in it that very night (i'm impatient!) and was able to move it myself, even after it was filled with dirt and rose.i've had it about 6 months now, in the front yard, exposed to all elements, and it still looks brand new.LOVE IT!
