I love Veradek in grey, but I don't like this 'bronze' as well as I hoped. I'm not even exactly certain how to describe the color, but it's much lighter than anodized bronze windows. Imagine that concrete had been stained brown, and that's about what this is. It's nondescript enough that it'll be almost invisible once it's filled with plants. This one did not come with a shelf, so if you are planning to swap plants in and out, you'll need to add something in the bottom to provide height. It does have plugged holes.
