This planter box is really cool. When you first get it, it won't be rusted or the copper colour that the picture shows, but over time it has started to rust, which is what I wanted. You will need to expose the planter to the weather in order to get that effect though. Mine is currently on a balcony that is covered, and the side that is closest to the railing was the only side that was really turning colour. I decided to move the planter out from under the balcony and it has started to change all over - yay!
