I bought these as addition to the long galvanized planter boxes, which I purchased before. Awesome products, I am so glad I have chosen them and am so happy with them on our balcony. The quality is high end and I assume these will last for very long time. The look of the paint surface is a semi-matt finish, so the look is just lovely and perfect, not too glossy. Just the perfect mix. The planter boxes are easy to clean since you can just wash stain and dust off and wipe over it with a cloth, ready.
