As expected.  More "wire" than (wrought) "iron" but good size for small climbing plants.  Finish is glossy.  Gauge of the wire is medium.  These should hold up over time if the finish protects the metal from rusting. I ordered two to use in 16" and 18" pots.  A downside to ordering two is one was jammed inside the other.  It took some doing to get them apart.
