This is a gorgeous color, and sturdy! The screws will work for a 5/8” plank, and thT is good, because these small screws elude me rapt the hardware store. If you have the luxury of a 3/4” inch plank, splurge on getting longer screws. I’m trying to get my husband around to the bronze color choice. If he really gives me a hard time, I will exchange this for another color.
