This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever ordered  from Wayfair. It’s plastic resin so it’s not heavy but it looks like copper or something really substantial. I worried my hose would be too big but there is room to spare. It’s so much nicer seeing this in front of my house than a large unruly pile of a hose and looks like it’s purely decorative but so functional. There are small drainage holes in the bottom in case it rains. Love this!
