People of low intelligence complain and leave bad reviews/low stars about what's already clearly stated: it comes as metal and rusts into that color, you can speed up the process and buy some rust-oleum dead flat to keep your desired darkness. Be mad at yourself for not being able to read. Also got a 16inch plant dolly with a hole in the center(drainage) so I could move this around with ease as it is veryyyy heavy when packed with soil. 

 I got the mid size one for like 170ish and it's beautiful. There is just one big drainage hole in the middle but its adequate. As stated in other reviews it will stain your cement or wood so make sure its on grass or dirt during the rusting process.
