It looks just like the photo and is great because it does not rust or rot. Keep in mind that this piece is vinyl which means it is lightweight and easy to move. With that being said, if you do not plan on anchoring it into anything, you will need to secure it for the winter if you live in an area that gets heavy winds. This thing blew away a few times. It cracked on the fourth time it blew away but I was able to keep it secured with white duct tape (LOL).  I think I can get at least 1-2 more seasons out of it which is not bad for how inexpensive it was. If you live in an area with no winds or winters, this is definitely a product you won't have any issues with.
