Unlike another review I received black as requested. It’s pristine and exactly what I wanted. Absolutely waterproof if you are usung for plants. I will use for succulents left in plastic planters once I have enough to fill and place it on my large dining table. For now I’m using to hold spray bottles in my laundry room. During holidays it will be filled with ornaments and live garland. It’s the perfect size for our 4’x10’ dining table.
