I maybe didn't read the fine print, but in my mind, I was thinking it was made of steel and not galvanized metal sprayed with rust patina. So, I was a bit surprised when the box came and it was not heavy. As well, it was packed in a very large box with some lose bubble wrap and the back plate was a little bent. Due to it being pliable metal, I was able to bend it straight again. All in all, it looks fabulous on my house. I planted succulents and added metal house numbers. I also purchased one for my mom for mother's day and she loves it too. It was a great addition to the front of my house and the modern/industrial look that i'm going for. Of course, my house needs painting and such, but for now, it's jazzed up a bit with adornments.
