It arrived earlier than expected and looks exactly as shown.  Stand is heavy, as wrought-iron should be. It keeps the bowl sturdy even when being pounced upon by 6 small dogs.  The bowl is stainless steel but due to our hard water builds scale easily but not so easy to get it off.  I would have preferred a ceramic bowl vs. stainless steel but that is a personal preference.  I was slso worried that it would be too tall for my small dogs but) opportunity it is a perfect height for  proper drinking and all 6 of them can get a drink at the same time if need be.  Another bonus I noted was that it is ALWAYS in the same place  that I left it, so i no longer have to search the back yard to locate it everyday.
