It’s “distressed” steel aka rusty finish. I spray painted mine black to match my shepherd hooks. It’s perfect for my courtyard and dwarf honeysuckle. Assembly was very easy - start from the top and work downwards to the largest circle.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for and love the little bird finial

The item is not "brown" it's rusted metal.

I was surprised with the quality of this little trellis. I wasn’t expecting much because it was so affordable. I am so happy my new clematis has a lovely place to grow.

Very happy with this item. Exactly what I needed.
