I have not viewed the video regarding how to rust the planters. They are sturdy and well made. 

We have three varied sizes and plan on using them as privacy wall as well as dividers to keep pedestrians on the patio areas. Can't wait to fill them with soil and get them planted soon. 

Shout out to Wayfair specialist. I ordered an incorrect size and they were helpful in communicating with me during shipment, delivery, credit to my account, etc. Their customer service is one major reason I continue to shop with them. Their customer oriented attitude makes my life easier.
